By connecting a voltmeter across the secondary terminals of the voltage/potential transformer. The transformer acts to reduce the voltage applied to its primary winding, while electrically-isolating the primary (usually high-voltage) circuit from the voltmeter.

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

What is a curect transformer?

A 'current transformer' is a type of transformer which, together with a 'voltage transformer' (or 'potential transformer' in N America), is classified as being an 'instrument transformer'. It is used to reduce large currents to smaller currents which can be measured safely, and to isolate the primary circuit from the secondary circuit for the purposes of safety. Current transformers are also used to drive protective relays used in high-voltage protection systems.

Why is the peak amplitude of voltage load lower than the amplitude of voltage transformer?

Unless otherwise stated, the value of an a.c. current or voltage is expressed in r.m.s. (root mean square) values which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 times their peak value. The output of a voltage (or potential) transformer is no different, its measured voltage will be its r.m.s value which is lower than its peak value.

What is the difference between capactive voltage transformer and potential transformer?

A capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) uses a (usually two) stacks of capacitors to reduce the votlage to a smaller internal potential transformer (PT). This makes them less expensive than an equivalent PT, but there can be a loss of accuracy.


What is the capacitive voltage transformer in sub station?

A coupling capacitor voltage transformer (CCVT) is composed of two stacks of capacitors which step the primary voltage down to a lower voltage potential transformer. These are typically used on 100kV and above, and the potential transformer is often around 15kV on the primary side. There are two reasons to use CCVTs over PTs (potential transformers) - at the above voltage levels, they are cheaper, and they can be used for power line carrier signal injection. Under transient conditions, CCVTs typically won't perform as well as PTs, and also may have worse accuracy ratings, so are often not acceptable for metering purposes.


What are the differences between voltage and potential difference?

Voltage is the potential difference to the ground. By convention, ground potential is zero volt.The above answer is incorrect. 'Voltage', by definition, is potential difference. It has nothing to do with being measured with respect to ground -in fact potential difference (voltage) cannot be measured with respect to anything.


What type of voltage is passed trough a transformer?

Voltage doesn't 'pass through' anything! Voltage is another word for 'potential difference', and is measured between two points in a circuit. For a transformer to work, it's necessary to apply an a.c. voltage across the transformer's primary terminals.
