(BCT)

Instrument Transformers, Inc.

is a recognized world leader in the design and manufacture of

Instrument transformers. As part of ITI’s product scope, the company

produces a diversif ied range of bushing current transformers. BCT which

are installed on 600 Volt , and higher electrical systems.

Type B07- Current Transformers are for use over outdoor bushings of

Power Transformers, Bulk Oil Circuit Breakers and other Dead - Tank

Circuit Breakers.

The B07 bushing type mounts externally over the apparatus bushing on

the cover of the apparatus. These transformers are used primarily for

relaying but may also be used for metering where rating allows.
