Optical Current Transformer Market Dynamics
Market Growth Drivers Increasing demand for high voltage Devices in the transmission and power generation sectors to boost the market growth. The purpose of the transmission of power at high voltages is used to increase efficiency. Over the long distance, there is an inherent loss of energy along the way. The high voltage transmission reduces the amount of power lost when the electricity flows from one location to the next. The higher the voltage the lower the current and the lower the current leads to less loss in the conductors. High voltage substation is used in the power system in which the power has been pooled from generating sources, distributed and transformed to the load points. In power distribution, the high voltages range from 115,000 to 230,000VAC and Extra-high voltages range from 345,000 to 765, 000VAC. The high-voltage power transmission reduces the volume of the conductor, decreases the percentage line drop and increases transmission efficiency. The high voltage produces the high output voltage including testing the performance of electrical insulation of power devices. As a result, increasing demand for high-voltage devices in the transmission, Distribution Station and power generation sectors due to their high output fuel the Optical Current Transformer Market growth. The growing use of Optical Current Transformer in digital transmission stations to fuel market growth Optical current transformers have many beneficial properties as compared to the conventional current transformer.
