Case Study: ABB advances current transformer design accuracy with COMSOL Multiphysics simulation

ABB advances transformer current measurement with Comsol and a 1.68 MB simulation model

ABB, a global technology company, faced the challenge of developing sophisticated magnetic sensors and investigating how external electrical sources and loads impact transformer cores. Their goal was to understand how design, materials, and temperature affect the accuracy of electric current measurement. To meet this challenge, they turned to Comsol and its finite element analysis (FEA) capabilities.

Comsol provided a solution using multiphysics simulation to model the complex interactions within the transformer system. By combining finite element analysis with electric circuit simulation, Comsol enabled ABB's researchers to make significant conclusions about the impacts of geometrical design and primary current distribution on their sensors, advancing their fundamental investigation into transformer technology.
