A sensor is a device which senses a certain state and responds to it. A transducer is a device or instrument which senses as well as converts one form of Energy into the other. Thus all Sensors can be transducers however all transducers cannot be sensors. the current transformer steps down the high value of current and makes it available for measurement. thus it is a sensor because as soon as current rises or falls below a certain stage the secondary of the current transformer is also affected and it gives a controll signal to the operating relay.

Sensor can be a transducer but transducer cannot be a sensor Is it right or wrong?
It is wrong.
What is transducer and how it may be used to measure displacement?
Transducer is a device which convert physical signal into electrical signal ( current/voltage/resistance). for linear measurement we can use LVDT (Linear Variable Displacement Transducer/ Linear Variable Differential Transformer). and for rotary measurement we can use RVDT (Rotary Variable Differential Transformer)
Explain differancnce between instrument current transformer and measuring current transformer?
Current transformer is a device used to measure the flow of current through a power system and the measured current is inputted to a protective relay system. It is used to detect system malfunction. Current transducer is a device used to measure AC and DC current based on the halt-effect technology.
Fundamental principle of current transducer?
The basic principle of current transformer is same as that of the power transformer. Like the power transformer current transformer also contains a primary and a secondary winding. Whenever an alternating current flows through the primary winding alternating magnetic flux is produced, which then induces alternating current in the secondary winding. In case of current transformers the load impedance or "burden" is very small. Therefore the current transformer operates under short circuit conditions. Also the current in the secondary winding does not depend load impedance but depends on the current flowing in the primary winding.
Is thermocouple a sensor or a transducer?
Transducer since it transform heat into electrical voltage
What is the another name for a sensor?
transducer
What is a delta pressure sensor?
It is a slang tern given to a Differential Pressure Sensor or Transducer.
What mean by transducer and sensor?
you can be eny age t have msn
Where is the transmission temperature sensor on 46 re 96 dodge Cummings diesel?
The temp sensor is in the transducer inside the transmission on the vavle body. The transducer is usually gold and has a 4 wire oval connector. the temp sensor is built into it
Is there a difference between a photo transducer a photo sensor and a photo electric transducer if there is one what is it?
No There is not much a difference you can draw between a Sensor & a transducer, as both does the same thing of measuring an energy in form & converting it to other form. But a transducer will make an additional effort to convert the energy into measurable electrical form & then then transmitting!!!! Pls coment
What is meant by Voltage Transducer?
A transducer converts a form of energy to another form (usually voltage). e.g. A Current Transducer would read a current, and output a range of voltage that's related to the current. A voltage transducer is used when the voltage is too high or too low to be detected. A voltage transducer essentially transforms the voltage signal to something readable (e.g. Transforming 0~1000V to 0~5V)
How is current controlled in welding transformer?
in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
