Thinking Accuracy with Current Transformers

Accuracy is, and probably will always be, a contested subject. Even the readings on the most sensitive gauges ever made will be subject to factors beyond anyone's control. This is why it's reasonable to consider a margin of error every time you take a measurement, especially when it comes to currents.

Given that current transformers are always on the lookout for unusual energy spikes, accuracy must be their most defining feature. They don't have to be perfectly accurate, just accurate enough to confirm the readings and help managers make sound decisions. However, no one-size-fits-all transformer exists at present.
