Series IE modular
closed-loop current transformers
- Primary rated current: 500 - 2500 A
- Umgebungstemperatur: -25... +70 °C
- Frequency range: 50... -400 Hz
In the case of bushing-type current transformers, the customer’s primary wire is pushed
through the current transformer opening in the housing. The push-through opening depends
on the size of the primary current.
Wound primary type current transformers have a primary winding and a secondary winding.
Both windings are applied on the closed toroidal core and are isolated from each other by
insulation. This principle applies mainly where primary currents are small. Low-voltage current
transformers for the proportional transformation of large currents to directly measurable
smaller current values.
According to: EN/IEC 61869-1/2
Primary rated current: 500, 1000, 2500 A
Frequency range: 50 - 400 Hz

NTT 400
Onboard power supply transformer
- Rated power: 1000 - 30000 VA
- Input voltage: 3x440 V
The REO transformer NTT 400 is designed for on-board power supplies, which are fed by the auxiliary converter. He is used to adjust the voltage and for galvanic separation of pulse-width modulated DC link voltage and the consumers of the electrical system . A corresponding sinusoidal filter must be connected between the transformer and the inverter.
The secondary-side load of the isolation transformer can be switchgears, rotating equipment , resistive loads or semiconductor power converters.The transformers are designed for the use in vehicles with AC or DC power (in inverter mode).
