What is the difference between Ohms and Ohms CT in impedance of an audio transformer?

The difference in between Ohms and Ohms CT is that in Ohms CT it has CT at the end.


Is ct step up or step down?

'CT' is used to designate current transformers, and 'PT' is used to designate potential transformers. A current transformer provides a ratio of primary current to the secondary. A potential transformer provides a ratio of primary voltage to the secondary. A power transformer (step up or step down) resembles a PT more than a CT.


What is the name of the device that changes the ratio of a current in voltage?

A transformer. it steps up / down voltage, and steps down / up current.


What is the advantage of 1 amps current transformer than that of the old type 5 amps current transformer?

If the protection relay and CT installed for away, then it is advised to install 1A CT rather than 5A CT. Because of lower amps it will reduce the losses on the cable. p = i^2.R


How does a transformer protect an appliance?

Normally current transformers are used for two things . For measuring and protection. Whenever the CT is a protection CT it will be connected with the protection relays and there will be setting in the relays based on our requirement. when the current pass through the relays are more than the setting range then relay will send the tripping signal to the breaker available in the system to isolate the fault section. Finally the CT is not protecting the system. it will transfer the high primary current from the system to relay as small secondary current.

What is the difference between CT and PT?

A ct is a step up transformer where as a pt is a step down transformer because both are used for measurement and protection purpose . current is stepped down if the secondary windings are more so we can obviously say thar ct is step up transformer

Will REF protect the outgoing cables when the Ct's are fitted at the transformer?

REF protection, when installed and set correctly, will protect everything within the CT's. If the CTs are on breakers, then yes, the cables from the transformer to the breakers will be in the zone of protection. If the CTs used are in the bushings of the transformer, then no.
