ECT can involve any arrangement of electrical, optical, magnetic technologies, provided it includes electronic devices.

For the analog secondary signal, this standard specifies the rated secondary voltage. For digital secondary signal, this standard refers to IEC 61969-9.

The main focus of the standard is electronic current transformers. These transformers are generally used in energy monitoring systems, power analyzers and industrial automation applications due to their high sensitivity and measurement accuracy.

Electronic current transformers are generally capable of operating over wide frequency ranges. The standard focuses on criteria that determine the performance of transformers in these frequency ranges.

Electronic current transformers usually provide digital output, and the standard focuses on the requirements that determine the characteristics of this output signal. Compliance with digital communication protocols can also be considered in this context.

The standard specifies specific methods for testing electronic current transformers. This allows manufacturers to verify their products against certain standards.
