The CT's primary is inserted in series with the load. It's secondary is connected directly to the burden (e.g. ammeter). If used together with a VT (PT) for the purpose of measuring power or energy, then its polarity markings must be observed.

What are the functions of current transformers and the difference between current transformers and voltage transformers?
To sense the current flow across the current transformers and to monitor the current ratings. In current transformers no voltage variations occurs. but in voltage transformers it is mainly used to increase or decrease the voltage value.
Who would need to utilise current transformers?
A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.
Motors, relays, contactors, and transformers all operate on the principal of?
The solenoid principle. A coil of wire is connected to some sort of electric current.
Can we drive relays by current transformers?
Yes, certain types of relays can be activated by current transformers.
How can you connect current transformer to ammeter in three phase?
You use three CTs, one per line conductor, each feeding a separate ammeter,
Are Transformers used in circuits with Direct Current?
No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.
Acids conduct electric current by forming what?
By direct from the manufacturer! Current & Potential Transformers
What is the function of a summation current transformer?
Current transformers are used to measure electric currents. When current in a circuit is too high to directly apply to measuring instruments, a current transformer produces a reduced current accurately proportional to the current in the circuit, which can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments.
Current Transformers Manufacturers?
Macroplast Transformers is a leading Current Transformers Manufacturers in India. Current transformers are devices that transform higher current value to lower current value. Current transformers provide galvanic isolation from the voltage on the primary winding while simultaneously creating a power signal that has been converted to a standard level, which in turn permits the use of standard measurement instruments and relays.

What are the uses of instrument?
The term, 'instrument transformer', is applied to current transformers and voltage transformers (known, in North America, as 'potential Transformers'). The primary windings of instrument transformers are connected to high-voltage systems, and their secondary windings provide outputs to measuring instruments or protective relays. They also provide isolation from the high-voltage system for the purpose of safety.
Parallel operation of transformers?
Transformers can be connected in parallel, if they have the same primary and secondary voltages and equal operating frequency.
Can a current transformer be used for current amplify?
transformers cannot amplify!
