Electronic Current Transformer (ECT) High-Precision Solution
I. Pain Points & Challenges
Traditional electromagnetic current transformers (CTs) suffer from inherent limitations like magnetic saturation, narrow bandwidth, and large size, making it difficult to meet the smart grid's demands for high-precision and wide-dynamic-range measurement. Especially under large current surges or complex harmonic operating conditions, accuracy readily degrades, compromising the safety and economic operation of power systems.
II. Core Technological Breakthrough: Multi-Dimensional Accuracy Enhancement Architecture
This solution achieves ±0.1% accuracy class (Class 0.1) across all operating conditions, exceeding IEC 61869 standard requirements, by integrating sensor technology innovations, intelligent compensation algorithms, and optimized digital signal processing.
Key Technological Approaches:
Low-Noise Sensing Layer Innovation
High-Linearity Air-Core Coil Design: Employs precision winding techniques and nanocrystalline magnetic cores to reduce high-frequency eddy current losses, ensuring phase error < 0.1° within the 10Hz ~ 5kHz frequency band.
Micro-Current Self-Powering Technology: Innovative self-powered circuit design (minimum starting current 0.5A) eliminates external power supply interference, enhancing low-current measurement accuracy.
Dynamic Temperature Compensation System
Multi-Sensor Fusion Calibration: Integrates temperature/vibration/electric field sensors to build a real-time environmental parameter matrix, dynamically correcting drift errors via an AI compensation model (LSTM neural network).
