The present invention relates to a
current transformer system having a
current transformer, which detects a current flowing through the
current transformer and converts said current into a measurement
voltage, and evaluation
electronics which, on the basis of the measurement
voltage, determine at least one of the characteristic variables from the group G consisting of I, In, Ist, Imin, ITR, IMAX, U, Un, f, fn, PF, where I =
electrical current flowing through the current
transformer; In = stated
reference current intensity for which the current
transformer has been designed; Ist = lowest stated value of I at which the current
transformer measures electrical active energy with a
power factor of one; Imin = value of I above which the deviation is within the error limits; ITR = value of I above which the deviation is within the lowest error limits corresponding to the
accuracy class stated for the current transformer
system; IMAX = maximum value of I at which the deviation is within the error limits; U = electrical
voltage applied to the current transformer; Un = stated reference voltage; f = frequency of the voltage applied to the current transformer; fn = stated reference frequency; PF =
power factor = cos&phgr; = cosine of the phase shift &phgr; between I and U.
