Dirt, moisture and overheat
'Potential transformers' (US terminology) or 'voltage transformers' (UK terminology) are, together with 'current transformers', collectively called 'instrument transformers', and are used to safely measure/monitor voltages and currents in high-voltage systems.Potential transformers are used to reduce the voltage-level of a high-voltage circuit to a lower voltage which can then be read using an ordinary voltmeter; at the same time, it electrically-isolates the high-voltage system for the purpose of safety. Potential transformers, together with current transformers, can also be used to operate wattmeters, or to supply protective relays.
They are usually measured using potential transformers that lower the voltages so that normal metering equipment can be used. Potential transformers PT's are almost no different that regular transformers except they are designed to be extremely accurate since they are used for metering purposes.
magnetising current test, magnetising balance test, s.c test, vector group test, winding resistance test, ratio test
Voltage transformer or potential Transformers are used in conjunction with Current transformers for metering and protection purpose in HT and LT power system.
Beacause CT is shorted so it is kept opened
potential transformer is that which transforms one range of voltage (potential difference ) to another range without changing frequency.AnswerA 'potential transformer' is the North American term for what, elsewhere, is called a 'voltage transformer'. It, together with a current transformer, belongs to a class of transformers known as 'instrument transformers'.Potential transformers are used to (1) reduce the value of a high-voltage supply to a lower value (often 120 V) so that it may be read by ordinary voltmeters, and (2) to electrically-isolate the voltmeter from the high-voltage source for the purpose of safety.In electricity substations, potential transformers are also used to provide an input to certain types of protective relay.
The temperature rise is not considered in OC & SC tests of transformers.. But in Sumpner's test, temp. rise is considered.. Hence is called "Heat-run test".. Also, the transformers draw only the power req. to supply core & Cu. losses of transformer..

Instrument transformers are used in power systems for measurement and protection purposes. Current transformers (CTs) are used to step down high currents to a measurable level for instruments and relays, while potential transformers (PTs) are used to step down high voltages. By providing accurate and isolated measurements of current and voltage, instrument transformers ensure the safety and reliability of the power system operations.
The test used for detecting chemicals with carcinogenic potential is the Ames test. This test uses bacteria to detect mutations induced by the chemical being tested, which can indicate its carcinogenic potential.
