The shape of the two sockets 6 matches the shape of the side expansion busbar connector on the cabinet and both are used to insert the side expansion busbar connector.
[0024] The current transformer provided by the utility model provides a socket 6 on the shell 1, so that the side-expansion busbar connector on the cabinet can be inserted into the socket 6, and the side-expansion busbar connector and the connecting piece 5 are connected, replacing the original wiring method of the transformer primary terminal and the copper bus. Since the State Grid side-expansion busbar connector is inserted into the socket 6, the connecting piece 5 is avoided from being exposed outside the shell 1 after the cabinet is connected. The utility model has a strong sealing ability, reduces the occurrence of discharge phenomenon, and improves safety.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the housing 1 is formed by casting an insulating material outside the transformer body, the socket 6 is formed by casting the housing 1, and the iron core 2, secondary coil 3, primary coil 4, and two connectors 5 are all embedded in the housing 1. The transformer body is fixed by casting the insulating material outside the transformer body to prevent the iron core 2, secondary coil 3, primary coil 4, and two connectors 5 from shifting during transportation or installation. When casting the housing 1, the iron core 2, secondary coil 3, primary coil 4, and connectors 5 are fixed by a mold, and the position of the socket 6 is fixed by the mold before casting.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the outer surface of the housing 1 is covered with a semiconductive layer 12. Providing this semiconductive layer 12 on the outer surface of the housing 1 allows the outer surface of the housing 1 to be directly grounded when in contact with the cabinet, placing the outer surface of the current transformer at ground potential. This reduces the risk of discharge from the housing 1 and enables the current transformer to be touchable during operation. The semiconductive layer 12 can be sprayed with a semi-electrical insulating paint.
