[0002] A combined instrument transformer is a multi-functional instrument transformer that integrates a current transformer and a voltage transformer into one unit. Existing combined instrument transformers often have exposed secondary terminals or only superficial protection, posing a risk of electricity theft due to unauthorized wiring connections. Furthermore, combined instrument transformers generally employ a single, molded structure, making inspection and repair difficult when a single transformer fails, and individual replacement is not possible, resulting in high operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to overcome the potential for electricity theft due to unauthorized connections to loads on the secondary side of existing combined current transformers, as well as the high cost of use and inconvenience of maintenance and repair caused by the integrated structure. It provides a current transformer designed to prevent electricity theft by optimizing the structure of the secondary junction box. This can be achieved by sealing the box with lead before closing the cover, effectively preventing unauthorized connections. Furthermore, by adopting a modular design, each individual current transformer is fixed to the base using a plug-in assembly method, facilitating the disassembly, repair, and replacement of individual current transformers and reducing usage and maintenance costs.
[0004] This anti-theft transformer includes a base, a secondary junction box mounted on the base, and a transformer assembly inserted into the base. The transformer assembly includes two single-phase current transformers and two single-phase voltage transformers. The primary terminals of one side of the single-phase current transformer are connected sequentially to the primary terminals of the two single-phase voltage transformers and the primary terminals of the other side of the single-phase current transformer via connecting copper busbars or wires. The secondary junction box contains terminal blocks with secondary terminals. A pair of lugs are located on both sides of the interior of the secondary junction box, with internal threaded holes and internal wire-passing holes on the lugs. A cover is located on the outside of the secondary junction box to cover the terminal blocks. A pair of recessed lugs are located on the inside of the cover, with external threaded holes and external wire-passing holes matching the internal threaded holes and internal wire-passing holes on the recessed lugs. The cover is detachably fixed to the secondary junction box by screws to secure the internal and external threaded holes, and a lead-sealed anti-theft rope is threaded between the internal and external wire-passing holes.
[0005] Furthermore, the base is a fully enclosed hollow structure, and the upper surface of the base is provided with positioning sleeve holes for inserting each current transformer and terminal slots for accommodating the secondary wiring terminals of each current transformer; the secondary wiring terminals and the corresponding secondary terminals on the terminal blocks are connected by wires housed in the base.
[0006] Furthermore, the inner side of the single-phase current transformer and the two sides of the single-phase voltage transformer are provided with L-shaped splicing edges, and the L-shaped splicing edges on adjacent transformers match; the bottom of the single-phase current transformer and the single-phase voltage transformer are provided with positioning posts that match the positioning sleeve holes.
[0007] Furthermore, the positioning post has a threaded portion and a fastening nut is threaded into the base.
[0008] Furthermore, the base has fixing ears on both sides and fixing slots on the fixing ears; the bottom surface of the base is detachably fitted with a bottom shell.
[0009] This utility model discloses an anti-theft current transformer, which overcomes the potential for electricity theft due to unauthorized connections to loads on the secondary side of existing combined current transformers, as well as the high operating costs and inconvenient maintenance and repair of single-phase structures caused by the integrated structure. By optimizing the structure of the secondary junction box, it can effectively prevent unauthorized connections and electricity theft by sealing it with lead and then closing the cover.

[0025] Implementation Method 2: The base 1 of this anti-theft transformer is a fully enclosed hollow structure. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with positioning sleeve holes 11 for inserting each transformer and terminal slots 12 for accommodating the secondary wiring terminals 34 of each transformer. The secondary wiring terminals 34 and the corresponding secondary terminals 22 on the terminal block 21 are connected by wires housed within the base 1. The secondary terminals of each transformer are connected to the terminal block by concealed wires, resulting in a neat and clear terminal layout that facilitates instrument wiring operations and subsequent inspection and maintenance. The terminal block is protected by a closed enclosure, ensuring safety and aesthetics. The remaining structures and components are as described in Implementation Method 1 and will not be repeated.
[0026] Implementation Method 3: The single-phase current transformer 31 and the single-phase voltage transformer 32 of this anti-theft transformer have L-shaped interlocking ribs 35 on their inner sides and on both sides, respectively. The L-shaped interlocking ribs 35 on adjacent transformers match.

The primary terminal output terminal of the other side of the single-phase current transformer is connected to the other end of the disconnected busbar. After the instrument is wired in the junction box, the anti-theft cord and the wire hole are used to lock the box against electricity theft. Specifically, the anti-theft cord consists of a cotton rope and a lead seal block. The cotton rope is inserted into the inner wire hole on the two lugs of the secondary junction box, and the other end of the cotton rope is inserted into the inner wire hole of the box cover. The two ends of the rope are tied together with the lead seal block and then pressed with lead seal pliers. Then the cover is closed to store the anti-theft cord in the secondary junction box. The internal and external threaded holes on the lugs are fixed with screws to complete the anti-theft sealing of the terminal.
