A transformer arrangement comprises a primary winding and a secondary winding, which are magnetically coupled. The transformer arrangement also comprises a compensating arrangement, which is circuited to provide a link between a terminal of the primary winding and a terminal of the secondary winding. The compensating arrangement is configured such that a change of a magnetic flux through the primary winding and the secondary winding induces a voltage in the compensating arrangement. The compensating arrangement comprises at least one coupling capacitor configured to block a DC current and to pass a current caused by the induced voltage. The compensating arrangement is configured to at least partially compensate a current that is caused by an inter-winding capacitance between the primary winding and the secondary winding using the current caused by the induced voltage.

A gapped resonant current transformer that has a pre-determined gap in a split-core. The invention eliminates the need for a magnetic flux shunt between the primary and secondary windings. Further, the sensitivity to the clamping force holding the two halves of the split-core is reduced as well as temperature effects on the core. Finally, excess heat is removed from overload (saturation) by circulating power back into the line.
