A good 12 – inch LCD might have a contrast ratio of 1000:1 or even higher in some advanced models, resulting in more distinguishable details in both light and dark areas of the screen.
Flicker – Free Display: Unlike some older display technologies that suffer from flickering, especially at lower refresh rates, LCD monitors refresh the entire image at once. This means that even at standard refresh rates like 60Hz, the display remains stable and flicker – free, reducing eye strain for users who spend long hours in front of the monitor.
3. Longer Lifespan
The components in an LCD monitor are generally more durable and have a longer lifespan compared to those in older – style monitors. LCD panels can last up to 50,000 hours or more, depending on the quality and usage conditions. This extended lifespan reduces the frequency of monitor replacements, leading to lower maintenance costs over time. In industrial or commercial settings where the Xycom 4850 is used, this reliability and long – term performance are highly desirable.

The Xycom 4810A 9-inch CRT monitor, though once a reliable display solution, has become dated in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape. CRT monitors, with their cathode ray tube technology, have limitations such as high power consumption, limited lifespan, and susceptibility to issues like flickering. Upgrading to an LCD monitor offers numerous advantages, including improved image quality, lower power consumption, and a longer operational life.
Reasons for Upgrade
1. Power Consumption
CRT monitors are notorious for their high power consumption. A typical CRT monitor like the Xycom 4810A can consume up to 150 Watts of power. In contrast, LCD monitors generally use only 20 – 50 Watts. This significant difference not only results in lower electricity bills but also aligns with the growing global focus on energy conservation. For facilities where multiple monitors are in use 24/7, the power savings from upgrading to LCD can be substantial over time.
2. Lifespan
The CRT technology in the Xycom 4810A is nearing the end of its life cycle. These monitors have a relatively short lifespan, often around 10,000 – 20,000 hours of use. As they age, the image quality deteriorates, and components become more prone to failure. LCD monitors, on the other hand, have a much longer life expectancy, often exceeding 50,000 hours. This means fewer replacements and reduced maintenance costs in the long run.
3. Image Quality
CRT monitors suffer from issues like flickering, especially at lower refresh rates. To mitigate this, the refresh rate needs to be adjusted to a high level, which is not always possible, especially for smaller-sized monitors like the 9-inch Xycom 4810A. LCD monitors, however, do not have this problem as they refresh the entire image at once rather than scanning lines like CRTs. Even at lower refresh rates such as 60Hz, LCDs provide a stable and flicker-free image. Additionally, modern LCD monitors offer higher resolutions and better color reproduction compared to the limited capabilities of older CRT monitors.

Environmental and altitude requirements
Operating environment:
Suitable for indoor installation, IEC recommends an ambient temperature between -5 ℃ and+40 ℃, and can actually be used at temperatures as low as -40 ℃.
Transformers must prevent the deposition of large amounts of dust or similar pollutants, as well as avoid direct sunlight.
Altitude impact:
The altitude in mountainous areas may be higher than the elevation (1000m) used as a design standard in IEC standards.
The thin air in high-altitude areas can affect the cooling of transformers, as well as the creepage distance and air gap between ground and phases. In this case, the manufacturer should be consulted.
The issues of creepage distance and air gap can be solved by selecting transformer types designed for higher voltages. For the operating voltage used, it is best not to exceed the normal level of impulse test voltage (BIL level), as this may have a negative impact on the available output on the secondary side.

Working principle
1、 Basic principles
Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Induction
When current passes through a winding, alternating magnetic flux is generated in the iron core. According to the law of electromagnetic induction, the secondary winding will induce electromotive force due to changes in magnetic flux, thereby generating current in a closed secondary circuit. The secondary current is directly proportional to the primary current, and the phase is basically the same. Through this proportional relationship, high current measurement and transformation can be achieved.
The relationship between primary and secondary sides
A winding with few turns (or even a single turn) is directly connected in series in the tested circuit, passing through a high current; The secondary winding has a large number of turns and is connected in series with measuring instruments or protective devices, with a small current (usually 5A or 1A).
2、 The support of key structures for principles
Winding and iron core design
Primary winding: usually a single conductor or a few turns, carrying the current of the tested main circuit and generating an alternating magnetic field.
Core: High permeability materials (such as silicon steel sheets) are used to concentrate magnetic field lines and improve electromagnetic induction efficiency. The change in magnetic flux directly affects the induced electromotive force on the secondary side.
Secondary winding: With a large number of turns, it outputs a secondary current proportional to the primary current through induced electromotive force for subsequent equipment use.
Insulation and encapsulation
As mentioned in the document, the KOFA series uses epoxy resin casting encapsulation for the primary winding, iron core, and secondary winding, which not only ensures electrical insulation but also fixes the structure to prevent iron core vibration from affecting electromagnetic induction stability.
3、 Job characteristics and application points
The relationship between accuracy and load
The load connected to the secondary side (such as instrument internal resistance, wire resistance, etc.) will affect the accuracy of the current transformer. The document mentions that the rated load range is 2.5-30VA, and excessive load may lead to increased errors. Therefore, it is necessary to select the appropriate rated load based on the parameters of the secondary equipment (such as accuracy levels of 0.2 and 0.5 corresponding to different load requirements).
For example, level 5P10 indicates that under rated load, when the primary current is 10 times the rated value, the composite error does not exceed 5%.
The impact of short-circuit current
When a short circuit occurs on the primary side, a high current will generate a strong magnetic field, which may cause the iron core to saturate and distort the secondary current. The document emphasizes the short-circuit strength parameters (such as short-time current I th, impulse current I dyn), and the design should ensure that the transformer can withstand the thermal and electrodynamic effects of short-circuit current to avoid damage or error exceeding the limit.
The danger of open circuit on the secondary side
The secondary winding must not be open circuited, otherwise when there is current on the primary side, the magnetic flux of the iron core will increase dramatically, and high voltage (up to thousands of volts) will be induced on the secondary side, endangering equipment and personnel safety, and possibly damaging the insulation of the transformer.
4、 Combining with KOFA series in the document
The Implementation of Principles in Structural Design
The KOFA series uses epoxy resin to encapsulate and fix windings and iron cores, reducing external interference and ensuring the stability of electromagnetic induction; The primary terminal is connected with M12 screws, which is easy to install and ensures good electrical contact, avoiding contact resistance affecting the conduction of primary current.
5、Parameter matching and application scenarios
The rated frequency of 50/60Hz is suitable for different power grid requirements, and the secondary current of 5A (1.2A) meets the standard measurement circuit requirements.
For high-altitude areas, by selecting models with higher voltage levels (such as 24kV instead of 12kV), increasing the creepage distance and air gap, preventing insulation breakdown, and ensuring the reliable application of electromagnetic induction principles in special environments.
