Because of fire
current decreases and resistance increases
You will end up with no current output on the secondary side of the CT.
What should happen is that the circuit-breaker should trip to cut off the current before the transformer becomes damaged by overheating.
in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current transformer ?
The difference between current transformer and potential transformer is that the secondary of a current transformer can not be open circuited while under service whereas that of the potential transformer an be open circuited without any damage to the transformer.
It is a transformer with No load attach to it.
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the transformer.
A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
The voltage is stepped down to 240VAC from 7200VAC
The wattmeter will read downscale (backwards).
