Bushing Current
Transformer
Low Voltage Instrument Transformer
Multi-Ratio, Externally Mounted
25 through 60 Hertz

Application
Externally mounted bushing current transformers are designed for use on existing power transformers or circuit breakers for
relaying purposes. Installation time is minimum since it is not necessary to remove bushings or open the tank for mounting.
The transformers and brackets shown below are for use with standard ANSI bushings.
It is recommended that the power transformer or circuit breaker manufacturer be checked prior to installation to determine
if the bushing strike distance is affected by installation of a bushing current transformer.

Construction Features
Bushing current transformer core and coil assemblies are housed in an aluminum case, which is filled with polyurethane.
The aluminum case has a shielding effect, protecting the winding in case of bushing flashover.
Installation Notes:
A secondary junction box with three conduit fittings is standard on every unit
Remove bushing flange nuts - (4 total as shown) and assemble mounting brackets
Remove bushing gaps to allow clearance for lowering current transformer over bushing
Maintain 3/8 clearance between current transformer housing and bushing tap socket
Caution: when mounting current transformer, care must be taken to see that the inside wall of the current transformer
clears and does not touch any metal parts of bushing or mounting, so as not to complete a ground circuit around current
transformer housing
Maximum K (bushing shed diameter) is F - 1/8
Maximum L (for voltage tap socket clearance) is F/2 - 3/8
Minimum M (bushing flange height) is J + 1/4
