The Problem:
Product quality is a given, as you CANNOT risk your company’s reputation on anything less. But you need to keep costs in check and you certainly cannot afford to buy excess inventory to keep a large safety stock on-hand. You also cannot afford to possibly stop production due to late delivery. You need to know that you can have CTs when you need them. You certainly don’t want to buy this component from one of your circuit breaker competitors who could put their priorities over your own. What are you going to do?

The expectation on reliability has never been greater, in spite of the fact that there is more breadth and complexity to the electrical system.
“Our modern electric power grid has been called the biggest and most complex machine in the world – delivering electricity over 200,000 miles of high tension transmission lines and touching almost every aspect of our lives.” (http://www.pbs.org/america-revealed/episode/3/ Terms of Use Privacy Policy Copyright © 2014 Lion Television.

In addition, there is more competition for business than ever before, so you need to really focus on delivering value, and a lot of it.

The Solution:
Your solution is Meramec’s Internally Mounted Dry-Type Bushing Current Transformer.

The toroidal core is continuously tape-wound using cold-rolled, grain-oriented electrical grade silicon steel, which receives a full stress relief anneal after it is wound to its specified dimensions. The secondary winding is then wound of insulated copper magnet wire over the cellulose-insulated core with the turns equally spaced around the core periphery. When taps are pulled, they are wound in a manner that assures a fully distributed winding between any connections. The coil is then finished with a polyester film tape. All materials used have a minimum rating of 105°C.

The DBCT is custom designed to fit over any bushing shank. They can be supported horizontally by mounting plates or non-magnetic straps. When stacking DBCTs, it is good practice to place an insulating ring between each unit and between the unit and mounting plate (if metallic). When clamping the DBCT between plates, tighten enough to secure, but do not over-tighten. High mechanical force may damage the unit or change its performance characteristic. Please note that mounting plates and hardware are not provided.
