How do you connect current transfomer and voltage transformer in switch gear?

Current and voltage Transformers are not 'connected in' switch gear. These instrument transformers are used to monitor the currents and voltages in a high-voltage system, in order to operate protective relays. In the event of electrical faults, it is these protective relays that act to trip the appropriate switchgear to disconnect the fault. This is done by applying a d.c. voltage to switchgear's trip coil, which disengages the trip mechanism. Having said that, CTs are sometimes fitted around the bushings of circuit breakers to monitor the current flowing through the circuit breakers, so that the load currents can be measured.

How current transfomer is step up voltage transformer n step down current transformer?
Current transformers are not voltage transformers. Current transformer are used for metering or protection purposes, with single turn primary. Generally the secondary current is either 1Amps or 5Amps.
What is a transformer called that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
What type of transfomer increases the voltage produced by the source?
step- up transformer
How many amps does a 600 watt low voltage transformer box pull?
The transformer itself does not pull current. Whatever you connect to the transformer pulls current. Whatever the output voltage of the transformer is, divide that into 600 and you get maximum current possible without burning up the transformer. At 24V that's 25 amps.
Does a basic transfomer in its normal operation use step up voltage step down voltage step up current or all?
A transformer has a primary and a secondary side. There is a ratio of windings from one side to the other that dictates whether it is a step up or step down transformer. The transformer is usually marked as to the input and output specifications. The current is directly proportional to voltage. If you had a transformer that was a step up from primary to secondary, it would be step down from secondary to primary.
What happens to current in a step-up transformer?
Actually current transfomer is step up voltage transformer n step down current transformer as current transfomer is having single primary turn of thick conductor but having more number of secondary turn of thin wires..so wkt tansformer ratio k= n2/n1=v2/v1=i1/i2. so it steps up volatge n steps down current...so we use current transformer as a step up transformer almost in all generating stations. Current transformers typically have terminals for a voltmeter on their case and a hole through that case. If you run your current carrying lead through the hole and connect an appropriate voltmeter (the voltmeter's design and resistance may affect the results) to the voltage terminals, the voltmeter will indicate the current in the lead times some factor which should be marked on the current transformer. If you thread the current lead through the hole N times then the voltmeter will indicate N times what it would read with the lead going through once (assuming that the ampere turns resulting do not cause saturation of the transformer's core.
Can a constant dc current can induce a steady state voltage in a transformer?
No, the current has to change for a voltage to be induced in the transformer.
A transformer can only the voltage of an alternating current?
A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
The incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called what?
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
What is the purpose of constant voltage transformer?
The term 'constant voltage transformer' is used to differentiate the operation of transformers that are intended to change voltage levels, from those intended to change current levels -a current transformer (CT), for example, is termed a 'constant current transformer'.
What is the incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer called?
the incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called primary voltage.....
What is the main different between the power transformer and voltage transformer?
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
