Split
core current CT transformers have
interleaved joint and hinge structure.
Split core CTs have a removable section, so that they can be installed
without interrupting the circuit.
A split core current transformer for coupling monitoring apparatus to a
current carrying conductor includes a two-piece annular core structure
formed by first and second arcuate core assemblies having windings,
connectable to the monitoring apparatus, wound on laminated core sections,
the laminated core sections each including a plurality of flat lamination
elements arranged in a stacked configuration with alternate elements having
generally circular end portions which project beyond the main body portion
of the arcuate core section at each end thereof defining generally circular
gaps....
