The zero phase CTs are differential sensors passing both line & grounded neutral conductors into the CT aperture so as to make a zero phase sequence in the case of leakage current or fault current on the line. So it is called the differential current as the sensitivity current distinguished from the primary current. The valuable advantage of Taehwatrans CTs is the minimal noise that enables the CT to sense very low current along with almost zero load shift under hair-pin test environment. It means the CT reading sensitivity, the capability of reading very minimal current flow, is not hardly affected even under a variety of field installation environments while generating the same level of output as our testing lab. Therefore they are used in the ground fault circuit interrupter, appliances leakage circuit interrupter which has rated sensitivity less than 5mA or 6mA and the earth leakage circuit breakers with 15mA or 30mA rated sensitivity current.
The differential current transformer is used in the wide applications such as earth leakage detection devices, ground fault interrupter and appliance leakage circuit interrupter. The role for the differential current transformer is to sense the minimal mA leakage current without any influence from the external electromagnetic noise. Its sensitivity currents are applied in the instruments' functionality from 4mA to 30mA in normal conditions. The differential current transformer is characterized in the highest sensitivity and no-load shift, and excellent hair pin test properties. The usage is wide spread from the GFCI, ELCB, Hair Dryer, lawn mower and so on.
Ground fault current transformer generally have been used in the North American market. They monitor the fault current and protect the human being or every individual instrument & home appliance from the leakage or in rushed current outbreak. It used to term as the ground fault & arc fault interrupter in the USA. The usage is normally set to the outlet receptacles all through different rooms in the house. Ground fault current transformer has varied roles for the minimal leakage detection as low as 5mA, and overcurrent protection derived from protection in children drawing the iron stick into the hole of the Receptacle or rats breaking the electrical lines, or fire outbreak. The characteristics must be highly susceptible to the very low current and almost not influenced from the noise out of environments. So, it is tested in the hairpin shaped conductor looking like functioning line current input and grounded neutral current output. The Ground fault current transformer must be offset by both current in and out. The effect of the balanced currents should be shown just like no current flow if it were not affected from the noise which seems to be noise cloud in the oscilloscope.
A variety of technology is involved in the manufacturing such kinds of current transformers from the universal winding, capacitive noise cancellation, shielding method etc. Sometimes it is called a zero phase sequence current transformer. The function approach could be different from how the circuit design is constructed. Some use the system with the electronic type using the amplifying IC which is usually represented in North American countries, Japan and Korea. The other uses the concept of the induction type to break the circuit using the CT itself. But both have the solenoid magnetic latching system to break the circuit.
