- Power Distribution: Single-phase high current situations are common in power distribution systems, especially in industrial and commercial settings. Transformers, switchgear, and distribution panels need to be designed to handle the current demands of the connected loads.
- Voltage Drop: In circuits with high current, voltage drop can occur across the length of the wiring. This can affect the performance of equipment and devices that rely on consistent voltage levels. Voltage drop calculations are important to ensure proper functioning of the circuit.
- Heavy Machinery: Equipment such as large motors, compressors, and industrial machinery often require high current to operate. Ensuring proper electrical infrastructure and circuitry is essential to support their power demands.
- Circuit breaker testing: Single phase high current transformers are used to test the maximum contact rating of circuit breakers
- Single phase high current transformers are used for Aluminum melting in industrial furnace equipment.
- Single phase high current transformers are used for additional taps in the heating element applications. Heating element resistance increases with age. Hence, additional taps are needed to compensate for the increase of resistance.
