Product Overview
The LFZBJ9-10 current transformer is an indoor, fully enclosed, wall-through epoxy resin cast current transformer designed for medium-voltage AC systems in the 10kV, 11kV and 12kV class. It is used for current measurement, energy metering, feeder monitoring, and relay protection in indoor switchgear and distribution equipment.
The product adopts a wall-through support structure with epoxy resin casting insulation. The laminated core and secondary winding are encapsulated inside the resin body, while the primary conductor passes through the central aperture. Compared with older indoor wall-through CT structures, the LFZBJ9-10 / LAZBJ-10 design is compact and convenient for switchgear assembly. It can be used as a replacement option for older models such as LA-10, LAJ-10, and LFZ-10 when the electrical parameters and installation dimensions are confirmed.

- Epoxy resin casting: The fully enclosed resin body supports stable insulation performance, mechanical strength, and indoor environmental resistance.
- Compact installation: The structure is relatively small and convenient for medium-voltage cabinet assembly and retrofit projects.
- Metering and protection cores: Accuracy combinations can include metering classes such as 0.2S, 0.2, 0.5S and 0.5, together with 10P10 protection cores.
- Flexible secondary output: 5A or 1A secondary current can be selected according to meter, relay and wiring distance requirements.
- Short-circuit withstand design: Rated short-time thermal current and rated dynamic current are selected according to current ratio and switchgear fault level.
Principle
The LFZBJ9-10 current transformer operates according to electromagnetic induction. The primary current flowing through the wall-through aperture generates magnetic flux in the core, and the secondary winding outputs a proportional current signal to connected meters, relays, or monitoring devices. The epoxy resin casting insulation separates the primary medium-voltage circuit from the secondary low-voltage circuit.
For metering circuits, the current transformer must maintain ratio and phase accuracy under rated burden. For protection circuits, the 10P core must provide a reliable secondary current signal under fault-current conditions so that the protection relay can operate correctly.
