Abstract
A method for assembling a modular current transformer (,) includes providing a first bobbin (,A) having a first aperture (,A) disposed therein and a second bobbin (,B) having a second aperture (,B) disposed therein. The first axial aperture (,A) is aligned with the second axial aperture (,B), and a xontinuous wire (,) is wrapped sround the first bobbin (,A) in a first direction. With the first and second axial apertures (,A,,B) still aligned, the continuous wire (,) is then wrapped around the second bobbin (,B) in a second direction opposite the first direction. The first bobbin (,A) is then inverted by pivoting the first bobbin (,A) about a flexible tab (,) that connects the first and second bobbins (,A,,B). A transformer core (,) is then disposed through the first and second axial apertures (,A,,B). The windings on the first and second bobbins (,A,,B) form the secondary windings (,A,,B) for the current transformer (,).
