This critical interface captures AC voltage from Potential Transformers (PTs) and AC current from Current Transformers (CTs) directly from the generator stator and bus. It scales these high-energy signals into low-voltage representations for the control processors, enabling the system to calculate active power, reactive power, and phase angles. We supply this unit as a \u003cstrong\u003e100% Brand New and Original\u003c\/strong\u003e component.
