Three-Phase Current Transformer Experiment

This document describes an experiment using a three-phase current transformer circuit to measure currents on a three-phase network. The circuit includes a three-phase power supply, resistive load, and three-phase current transformer connected to moving-iron ammeters. Measurements are taken with the neutral conductor both connected and disconnected under different load conditions to demonstrate the current transformer's ability to measure symmetrical and asymmetrical three-phase currents.

EXPERIMENT NO 7

THREE-PHASE CURRENT TRANSFORMER


OBJECTIVE:

 Assembling the common current transformer circuit for measurement on three-


phase network.

APPARATUS:

 1 IT 6000 Three-phase power supply


 1 IT 6004 Resistive load
 1 IT 6044 Three-Phase current transformer
 4 IT 6034 Moving-iron ammeter( 1000 mA)

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
PROCEDURE:

Assemble the circuit according to the foregoing topographic diagram. Do not forget that the current
transformer may not be operated in open circuit on its secondary side. The resistive load, located in the
primary circuit, is star connected and set to resistance value R6 for every phase. Connect the three-phase
current transformer so that the resulting current transformation ratio 1:[Link] from 0V, increase the
value of the supply voltage to obtain 1 A on the primary circuit.

Measure the three primary current alternatively and read off the secondary currents with the neutral
conductor N connected or disconnected.

N connected N disconnected

N connected N disconnected
IL1 (A) 1 1
I1 (A) ……………………………….. ………………………………..
IL2 (A) 1 1
I2 (A) ……………………………….. ………………………………..
IL3 (A) 1 1
I3 (A) ……………………………….. ………………………………..

The three measured currents must be approximately equal in both cases; slight deviations may be
explained by the components tolerances.

Asymmetrical loads can also be measured with this circuit. Change only the resistive loads of the phases
L2 and L3 to the value [Link] the supply voltage to obtain a primary current I L1 = 1 A .Measure the
three secondary currents, once with and once without the neutral conductor N connected.

N connected N Disconnected

I1 (A) ………………………(1) ………………………(0,9)


I2 (A) ……………………..(0,7) ………………………(0,75)

I3 (A) ……………………..(0,7) ………………………..(0,75)

Now, when the circuit is not alive, disconnected the conductor L3 at the output side of the three phase
power supply.

Repeat the above measurements.

N connected N Disconnected
I1 (A) ………………………..(1) ………………………(0,68)
I2 (A) ………………………(0,7) ……………………..(0,7)
I3 (A) ………………………(0) ………………………(0)
