Key Advantages

Low Testing Time

Completes all basic tests for CT winding and cores in just a few minutes — maximizing field productivity.

Simple Connection

Single one-time connection setup eliminates complexity and reduces operator error on-site.

Highest Accuracy

0.02% typical and 0.05% guaranteed for turns ratio error — industry-leading measurement precision.

Portable & Lightweight

Weighing less than 14 KG, it is easy to transport and deploy across multiple field sites.

High Interference Rejection

Can be safely used in live 220 / 400 / 765 KV switchyards with robust noise immunity.

Real-Time Display

Live measurement display enables on-the-spot analysis and immediate decision-making in the field.

Connection Methods

The KPM-CT/PT Analyzer C+ supports two industry-standard connection methods, giving engineers the flexibility to choose the most appropriate approach for each test scenario.

Secondary Voltage Ratio Method

The standard connection approach for rapid, non-invasive testing of current and potential transformers directly from the secondary terminals. Ideal for in-service and routine testing environments.

  • Fast and straightforward terminal connection
  • Suitable for all CT winding and core tests
  • Minimal disruption to existing wiring
  • Preferred method for routine field inspections

Primary Current Injection Method

Validates transformer ratio using actual primary current injection — the gold standard for accuracy verification and compliance testing. Designed for customers who demand the highest level of measurement confidence.

  • 10A Primary Current Injection — built-in source, ready to use out of the box
  • 200A Primary Current Injection — optional upgrade for high-burden and large-ratio transformers
  • Confirms ratio accuracy under realistic operating conditions
  • Meets stringent utility and metering compliance requirements

Both methods are fully supported within a single instrument, eliminating the need for multiple test sets on-site.
