Abstract

A current transformer system according to the present invention includes: a sensor CT detachably attached to an electric power transmission/distribution line for detecting the current flowing through the power line by means of electromagnetic induction; a generator CT detachably attached to an electric power transmission/distribution line for generating power by means of electromagnetic induction; and a microprocessor for controlling the sensor CT and the generator CT. According to the present invention, the generator CT is used as the main power source so as to perform independently power supply and facilitate the construction of an additional source in need of additional power.

Claims (36)

1. A current transformer (CT) system comprising:

a sensor CT installed detached/attached from/to a power transmission/distribution wire and detecting a current flowing through the wire by electromagnetic induction;

a generator CT installed detached/attached from/to the power transmission/distribution wire and generating power by electromagnetic induction;

wherein each of the sensor CT and each of the generator CT is discretely separate from each other so as to allow attachment or detachment from the wire independently of each other; and

a microprocessor controlling the sensor CT and the generator CT;

wherein each of the sensor CT and the generator CT comprises:

a top assembly in which a core and a coil are installed;

a bottom assembly corresponding to the top assembly;

a hinge to which the top assembly and the bottom assembly are rotatably coupled;

a lock clip selectively opening and closing the top assembly and the bottom assembly;

a support rib extended to a front of the top assembly and supporting a belt that fixes the structure to the wire; and

a stopper extended to a rear of the bottom assembly and maintaining a certain distance between neighboring structures to prevent the structure from becoming coupled to each other by magnetism.

2. The current transformer (CT) system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor CT and the generator CT are installed in parallel to each other to be separated from each other.

3. The current transformer (CT) system of claim 2 , wherein the generator CT generates independent power in a contactless manner.

4. The current transformer (CT) system of claim 3 , wherein the generator CT is provided in plurality according to a necessary amount of power supplied to the sensor CT.

5. The current transformer (CT) system of claim 1 , wherein the microprocessor is integrated with a structure for the sensor CT.

6. The current transformer (CT) system of claim 5 , wherein the microprocessor comprises:

a current sensing management module outputting a current signal detected through the sensor CT;

a power generation management module transforming an inducted voltage generated by the generator CT into necessary power; and

a main CPU comparing a sensing value of current according to the current signal with a reference value of current to determine whether there is an abnormal current.

7. A current transformer (CT) system comprising:

a sensor CT installed detached/attached from/to a power transmission/distribution wire and detecting a current flowing through the wire by electromagnetic induction;

a generator CT installed detached/attached from/to the power transmission/distribution wire and generating power by electromagnetic induction;

wherein each of the sensor CT and each of the generator CT is discretely separate from each other so as to allow attachment or detachment from the wire independently of each other; and

a microprocessor controlling the sensor CT and the generator CT,

wherein the microprocessor is integrated with a structure for the sensor CT and the microprocessor further comprises a CT separation CPU removing magnetism from the core to separate a sensor CT structure from the wire;

wherein each of the sensor CT and the generator CT comprises:

a top assembly in which a core and a coil are installed;

a bottom assembly corresponding to the top assembly;

a hinge to which the top assembly and the bottom assembly are rotatably coupled;

a lock clip selectively opening and closing the top assembly and the bottom assembly;

a support rib extended to a front of the top assembly and supporting a belt that fixes the structure to the wire; and

a stopper extended to a rear of the bottom assembly and maintaining a certain distance between neighboring structures to prevent the structure from becoming coupled to each other by magnetism.

8. The current transformer (CT) system of claim 5 , wherein the microprocessor comprises:

an auxiliary power generation management module for solar generation; and

a charging management module repetitively charging/discharging generation energy of the generator CT or the auxiliary power generation management module.
