Application of instrument transformer in power system?

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.
