Tối ưu hóa hiệu suất và hệ số công suất
A Zero Sequence Current Transformer (ZSCT) , also called a core balance CT or residual current CT, detects ground fault currents in three-phase systems. Unlike standard CTs on individual phases, a ZSCT encircles all three phase conductors (and neutral if present). Under normal balanced conditions, the vector sum of currents equals zero. When a ground fault occurs, the unbalanced current produces a secondary output proportional to the fault current. This signal goes to a protection relay (e.g., 50N/51N or 50G/51G) which trips the breaker. Typical applications include solidly grounded, low-resistance grounded, or high-resistance grounded systems from 120V to 35kV.
| Chức năng | Mô tả |
|---|---|
| Ground Fault Detection | Senses residual current from 50mA to 100% of rated primary current. Outputs analog signal (mA or A) to relay. |
| High-Impedance Fault Identification | Detects low-magnitude faults (e.g., 1–5A) that standard overcurrent relays may miss. |
| Directional Ground Fault Indication | When paired with voltage reference, helps locate fault direction on radial systems. |
| Harmonic Filtering (Built-in) | Some models include low-pass filtering to ignore high-frequency noise (e.g., from VFDs) above 300Hz. |
| Split-Core for Retrofit | Allows installation without disconnecting primary cables. Hinged or U-shape design. |
| Relay Interface | Provides 5A or 1A secondary output (standard) or 0–10V output for electronic relays. |
This table helps engineers and procurement teams quickly match the right zero sequence current transformer to their system requirements.

Where a Zero Sequence Current Transformer Solves Ground Fault Blind Spots
A standard phase CT won’t tell you if a motor winding is leaking 2A to ground. A Biến áp dòng điện chuỗi không catches exactly that. Below are typical installations where our ZSCT helps locate arcing ground faults before they cause a fire, works with existing relays (GE, SEL, ABB), and eliminates nuisance trips caused by leakage currents in cable shielding.
Uses nanocrystalline or high-permeability silicon steel. Detects residual currents as low as 10mA. This Zero Sequence Current Transformer maintains linearity from 1mA to 200A, covering both leakage and fault ranges.
Built-in electrostatic and magnetic shielding. Reduces false trips caused by nearby busbars or motors. A reliable Zero Sequence Current Transformer must reject common-mode noise — ours achieves >60dB rejection at 50Hz.
Available from 30mm to 300mm opening. Fits single cables, busbars, or multiple conductors. You don’t need to disconnect cables; the split-core version clamps around existing wiring in under 2 minutes.
Rated for -25°C to +70°C continuous. No phase shift drift over 20 years. This Zero Sequence Current Transformer uses low-loss material, so accuracy remains ±1% from -10°C to +60°C.
Same mounting holes as ABB, SEL, or GE models. Direct replacement without drilling new holes. Comes with standard 4-meter twisted pair leads; extension up to 100m without signal degradation.
Every unit is tested with a primary injection report. ZHIMING engineers help with relay matching. We also provide a free sizing tool — just enter cable diameter and fault current, and the correct Zero Sequence Current Transformer is selected automatically.

Yes. For solidly grounded systems, the ZSCT detects low-level ground faults (e.g., 5–20A). Choose a lower ratio (e.g., 50:5) for better sensitivity.
A ZSCT has one core encircling all phases, giving better balance and higher accuracy for low currents (<5% of CT rating). Three-CT residual method has larger errors due to phase CT mismatch.
Yes, but select secondary output accordingly: 5A for electromechanical (e.g., GE IAC), 1A or 0.333V for electronic relays. Our model has dual taps.
Use a ZSCT with a higher pickup threshold (e.g., 500mA instead of 100mA) or add a time delay (0.5–1s) in the relay. Do not filter below 50Hz.
Minor eccentricity (<10% of ID) has negligible effect on accuracy for fault-level currents (>1A). For low-level leakage (<100mA), keep conductors roughly centered to avoid stray field errors.
