A potential transformer (US terminology) or voltage transformer (UK terminology) operates on the same principle as any mutual transformer, but with the secondary windings connected across the terminals of a voltmeter. The secondary voltage, which is determined by the turns-ratio of the transformer, is usually standardised to match the full-scale deflection of the voltmeter.

What is the function of capacitor voltage transformer at the switch yard?
function of capacitive voltage transformer is measure high transmission voltage with low range voltmeter and oprate the relay circuit to oprate CBs.
How you can check load connected of transformer?
Measure the current and voltage on the secondary side.
What is the difference between power transformer and instrument transformer?
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
What is a transformer that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
How can measure transformer KVA?
the capacity of a transformer is defined as a product of voltage and current flowing through it.AS THE CURRENT IS MEASURED IN AMPERES AND VOLTAGE IN VOLTS, Hence transformers are measured/rated in KVA
Is line voltage or phase voltage mentioned on transformer nameplate?
It depends how they are connected. If they are connected between line conductors then they are measuring line voltages. If they are connected across phases then they are measuring phase voltages.
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 main different between the power transformer and voltage transformer?
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
How potential transformer works explain with circuit diagram?
A potential transformer steps the high voltage down to a level of 120 V to measure them safely and easily.
When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?
If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.
How can you identify which one is step up or step down transformer?
A transformer has two windings, termed the 'primary winding' and the 'secondary winding'. The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load. The secondary voltage of a 'step up' transformer is higher than the primary voltage; the secondary voltage of a 'step down' transformer is lower than the primary voltage. The simplest way to determine whether a transformer is a step up or step down, is to measure the primary and secondary voltages. If you are simply looking at a transformer, then the transformer's insulated bushings will give you a clue -the higher voltage bushings are much bigger than the lower voltage bushings. If you have access to the inside of the transformer, then the higher voltage windings are thinner and have a greater number of turns than the lower-voltage winding.
How do you measure the current and voltage in high tension line?
To measure high voltage use suitable instrument transformer (potential transformer) Very carefully. It can kill you. The higher the voltage the more the danger or arcing over even when two conductors are not touching. Voltage meters are rated and the rating should not be exceeded. Depending on the voltage you will need the proper meter and a high voltage probe rated for the voltage you are measuring. If you don't know what you are doing, don't mess with high voltage. Leave to the pros.
