MACROPLAST is a highly reputable and trusted
manufacturer, and supplier of current and
potential transformers (voltage transformers).
These transformers are of international standards
and offer optimum performance. Designed using
quality raw materials and high-tech technologies,
these transformers is long-lasting. Lets take a
quick look at the differences between the Current
Transformer and Potential Transformer based on
types, connection, rate winding, use, core, and
so on.

Difference based on Use A current transformer
allows using a 5 Ampere ammeter when it comes to
measuring high currents as 200 amperes. In
contrast, a potential transformer is designed to
use a 120-voltmeter to measure high voltage like
11KV.
Difference based on Types A current transformer
allows using a 5 Ampere ammeter when it comes to
measuring high currents as 200 amperes. In
contrast, a potential transformer is designed to
use a 120-voltmeter to measure high voltage like
11KV.

Difference based on Connection A current
transformer allows using a 5 Ampere ammeter when
it comes to measuring high currents as 200
amperes. In contrast, a potential transformer is
designed to use a 120-voltmeter to measure high
voltage like 11KV.
Difference based Transformation Ratio A current
transformer allows using a 5 Ampere ammeter when
it comes to measuring high currents as 200
amperes. In contrast, a potential transformer is
designed to use a 120-voltmeter to measure high
voltage like 11KV.

Primary Secondary Winding The primary winding
has less number of turns in a current
transformer. And the current can be measured.
Potential transformers come with many primary
winding turns. The voltage can be measured. In a
current transformer, the secondary winding
possesses large numbers of turns on the secondary
side and is connected to the current winding of
the instrument. In a potential transformer, the
secondary winding has a small number of turns on
the secondary side and is connected to the meter
or instrument.

Differences based on Burden The current
transformer is designed in a way that it does not
depend on the secondary burden, whereas the
potential transformer majorly depends on it.
Differences based Core Silicon steel lamination
is the material used to design the current
transformer. On the other hand, top-quality steel
operating flux densities are used to manufacture
a potential transformer.

Current Transformer and Potential Transformer
Manufacturer

• As one of the leading manufacturers of Current
  Transformers and Potential Transformers,
  MACROPLAST makes top-quality transformers. We are
  also one of the leading Current Transformer
  Suppliers and Potential Transformer Suppliers in
  India, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, African and
  EU countries. The current transformer designed by
  us can be majority used to reduce a high current
  to a safer and more manageable level that can be
  measured. It has the potential to convert primary
  currents into small 1A/5A currents.
• On the other hand, the potential transformer
  designed by Macroplast can measure and rescue
  high voltage values into lesser values. It has
  the potential to convert the high voltage into a
  standard secondary voltage of 100V or lower.
