CBCT Core Balance Current Transformer

The CBCT (Core Balance Current Transformer), developed by Borna Electronics, is a specialized current transformer designed for earth leakage and ground fault detection systems. The device operates based on the vector summation of all conductors passing through its core. Under normal operating conditions, the vector sum of the currents is zero, resulting in no output signal. When an earth leakage fault occurs, the current imbalance generates a proportional output signal that can be detected by an Earth Fault Relay.

The CBCT provides reliable leakage current detection while maintaining complete electrical isolation from the power network, making it suitable for both industrial and commercial protection systems.
