CBCT Assembly
High-Performance Core Balance Current Transformers (CBCT) for Earth Fault Protection


High Precision CBCT Assemblies for Electrical Protection
High-accuracy CBCT assemblies designed for reliable leakage detection and stable performance across protection systems. Engineered for consistency, sensitivity, and long-term durability in critical applications.
Key Features
1
Current Balance
Ensures that in normal conditions, the sum of phase currents remains zero with no output from the CBCT.
2
Imbalance Sensing
Detects any deviation from zero current caused by leakage or fault conditions.
3
Residual Measurement
Measures the residual current generated due to imbalance in the system.
4
Leakage Detection
Identifies earth faults or current leakage to enable timely protection. Induction Sensing –
5
Induction Sensing
Operates on electromagnetic induction to detect current variations via the CBCT.
6
Relay Triggering
Automatically activates the protection relay to isolate the faulty circuit.


Reliable CBCT Assemblies for Earth Fault Protection
Permanent Magnets Limited (PML) offers high-performance CBCT assemblies, also known as Zero Sequence Current Transformers (ZSCT), for accurate fault detection in low and medium voltage systems. Designed in ring or rectangular forms, they enable easy installation around three-phase conductors. These assemblies detect residual currents during earth faults and trigger protection relays instantly. Built for reliability, they enhance system safety and prevent electrical hazards.
