Electricity can be dangerous. You could get a fatal shock. The shock could fry skin as well as damage nerves. The shock might paralyze you. You could end up in the hospital for days.

Which type of transformer is used in sonometer?

A sonometer is used to determine the frequency of alternating current. A step down transformer is used for the determination of frequency of A.C. because the voltage of the A.C. mains is 220V, which is dangerous. The step down transformer reduces this voltage to 6 volts.


Why do voltage have very high resistance?

Voltage and resistance are distinctly different quantities. I can say some voltages have very low resistances (and high currents), such as when you drop a hair dryer into the tub. You're question as it is written does not make sense.

Why secondary windings of current transformers are shorted?

Current transformers (CTs) -together with voltage (or potential) transformers- are 'instrument transformers'. CTs are used to enable large currents flowing in high-voltage systems to be measured, while electrically-isolating the ammeter (termed a 'burden') from the h.v. system. They are also used to monitor h.v. currents for high-voltage protection systems. Before disconnecting its burden, the secondary of a CT must be short-circuited, and remain short-circuited until after the burden has been replaced. This is because a dangerously-high voltage will appear across the open terminals of any energised CT.


Advantages of current transformer?

A CT allows:heavy currents to be measured using conventional ammeters, andelectrically-isolates the ammeters from high-voltage primary circuits.


What are dangers of low voltage electricity?

please provide more detail, what do you mean low voltage? Also its not necessarily the voltage your worried about but the amount of current that can be supplied.
