Best Answer

The term, 'discrimination', is applied to fuses. This describes the requirement for any fuse closer to an overcurrent fault to clear that fault within the time necessary for a second fuse, closer to the supply, to operate. This minimises the number of circuits disrupted in the event of a overcurrent fault.

Can a distribution transformer be used as a potential transformer?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a "potential transformer", but I look at it this way: The transformer isn't aware of the purpose to which you're putting it, so no matter what you call the function, the transformer continues to perform it ... transforming voltages and impedances in proportion to the turns ratio, and currents in proportion to its inverse.
