• current transformers are generally used. These consist for example of a ferrite core, on which a copper winding is wound. The annular power converter core is slid over one end of the nominal conductor for mounting so that the conductor passes through the interior of the ring. If a load current flows through the conductor, a voltage is induced in the winding of the current transformer core, which voltage is tapped off via a resistor and serves as a measure of the current through the nominal conductor.
• a nominal conductor is a primary conductor used to transmit the rated power during the operation of the switchgear.
