. One challenge during the production, repair or even standard maintenance of measuring transformers is the use differential zero apparatus devices, which are costly and require second heavy current transformer with high class accuracy. To tackle this industry cost, while keeping robustness, this work focuses on presenting a method for automatic measurement of current transformer errors by personal computer and digital oscilloscope. The mathematical basis and an example program algorithm for the measuring process are also shown.. The principal electrical scheme of the worked out device is described. Finally, a validation experimental study is performed, the results are displayed and analyzed showing a good agreement with the reference zero apparatus device.
