ammeter reading is 2.7 A, estimate the line current.
Solution :

So line current is 135 A.
1.42 Construction of Current Transformers
There are two types of constructions used for the current transformers which are,
1. Wound type
2. Bar type
1.12.1 Wound Type Current Transformer
In wound type construction, the primary is wound for more than ene full tum, on
the core. The construction is shown in the Fig. 1.13Fig. 1.13 Wound type current transformer
tn a low voltage wound type current transformer, the secondary winding is
wound on a bakelite former. The heavy primary winding is directly wound on the top
of the secondary winding with a suitable insulation in between the two. Otherwise the
primary is wound completely separately and then taped with suitable insulating
material and assembled with the secondary on the core,
The current transformers can be ring type er window type. Some commonly used
shapes for the stampings of window type current transformers are shown in the
Fig. 1.14.

The core material for wound type is nickel-iron alloy or an oriented electrical steel.
Before installing the secondary winding on core it is insulated with the help of end
collars and circumferential wraps of pressboards. Such pressboards provide additional
insulation and protection to the winding from damage due to the sharp cornersProtection and Switchgear 1628 Protective Relaying
4.12.2 Bar Type Current Transformer
In this type of current transformer, the primary winding is nothing but a bar of
suitable size. The constriction is shown in the Fig. 1.15.

4.15 Bar type current transformer
The insulation om the bar type primary is bakelized paper tube or a resin directly
moulded on the bar. Such bar type primary is the integral part of the current
transformer. The core and the secondary windings are same in bar type transformer.
The stampings used for the laminations in current transformers must have high
cross-sectional area than the ordinary transformers. Due to this, the reluctance of the
interleaved corners remains as low as possible. Hence the corresponding, magnetizing
current is also small. The windings are placed very close to each other so as to reduce
the leakage reactance. To avoid the corona effect, in bar type transformer, the extemal
diameter of the tube is kept large.
The windings are so designed that without damage, they can withstand short
circuit forces which may be caused due to short circuit in the circuit in which the
current transformer is inserted.
For small line voltages, the tape and varnish are used for insulation. For line
voltages above 7 kV the oil immersed or compound filled current transformers are
used.
1.13 Why Secondary of C.T. Should not be Open 7
It is very important that the secandary of CT. should not be kept open. Either it
should be shorted or must be connected in series with a low resistance coil such as
current coils of wattmeter, coil of ammeter etc. If it is left open, then current through
secondary becomes zero hence the ampere tums produced by secondary which
