This video covers the basics of a Current Transformer and some calculations you would use for revenue metering or simply taking current measurements.
We also discuss some considerations for connecting and disconnecting from the circuit.

Just want to say, great videos. Very clear and tidy and it took me far too long to figure out why you're so good at writing backwards.

This is a helpful series. I've often wondered how the power meter of a home works, perhaps a followup might show us one of those?

Awesome video. Can you explain a little further why we "short out" a Current Transformer ? I don't think I've fully understand it properly. Is it for safety purposes? What are the factors at play here .

Hi, thank you for the video. do you know how to calculate the saturation current when you design the current transformer?

cool.... how do you write backwards so easily? or am I dumb?

I want to trigger a relay depending on direction of flow of power in an AC line. How would you do that? CT with diodes ,resistors, ICS.. what would a practical circuit look like ?
