The standard, titled "Instrument transformers – Part 1: General requirements," serves as the foundational framework for all types of instrument transformers used in electrical measuring instruments and protective devices. It replaced the older IEC 60044 series to provide a more unified and comprehensive set of rules for both traditional and electronic transformers.
In the world of high-voltage electrical engineering, precision and safety are paramount. The devices responsible for measuring current and voltage—known as instrument transformers (Current Transformers or CTs, and Voltage Transformers or VTs)—are the eyes and ears of the power grid. Iec 61869-1 Pdf
