AcuAMP® Solid Core current transformers from AutomationDirect are instrumentation grade (commercial class) and provide a very cost-effective means of measuring primary current. Two different window ...

Figure 1: Split-core current transformer. But these advantages have a price. The split-core current transformer is more expensive and less accurate than the solid-core transformer. Thus the specific ...

Recent advances have improved the performance of current transformers that clip onto wiring.

At its core, Amperesand’s technology replaces the iron cores that define old transformers with silicon carbide. Existing transformers follow the same basic design that has worked well for over a ...

At the core of their limitations, as David Pascualy, a technical expert in solid-state transformers (SSTs) and power electronics, explained to POWER, “a normal standard transformer doesn’t ...

Solid-state transformers made with silicon carbide promise to change that. “The solid-state transformer platform is multi-port by design; it’s modular,” said Brian Dow, Amperesand’s new ...
