Current Transformers - Basics and Calculations

[@TheNextStepAgency]

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.

Thanks so much for watching!

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 .

I did some experiments with open CT's but nothing happened. No temp or voltage raise.

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?

[@ZackHartle]

Great suggestion!

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

[@Swenser]

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 ?

Thanks man👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great 👍

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