CT together with a ammeter is used to measure the current in high current or high voltage circuit, where a normal ammeter can not be connected in series in such high voltage or high current circuits. It is a secondary winding (like in transformer) wound on a single core primary wire and relative secondary current reperesnets the primary current. CT are also used protection purposes. Basic principle of CT i same either for metring or protection.

What is the purpose of constant voltage transformer?

The term 'constant voltage transformer' is used to differentiate the operation of transformers that are intended to change voltage levels, from those intended to change current levels -a current transformer (CT), for example, is termed a 'constant current transformer'.


Why are stripes of iron plates joined instead of using a single block of iron core in a transformer?

To reduce heat generated and eddy current losses in transformer's core during operation.


How do you jump out a neutral current transformer?

To jump out a neutral current transformer, you typically connect a jumper wire across the secondary terminals of the transformer. This effectively bypasses the transformer, allowing the circuit to function without it. Ensure that the power is turned off before performing this operation for safety. Always follow safety protocols and consult the equipment's manual for specific instructions.

Difference between potential transformer and current trasnformer?

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.


Which device would be located between the secondary coil of high-voltage transformer and X-Ray tube?

The device located between the secondary coil of a high-voltage transformer and the X-ray tube is typically a rectifier. The rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) output from the transformer into direct current (DC), which is necessary for the operation of the X-ray tube. This ensures stable and efficient operation, allowing for consistent X-ray production.

What is the reason for using a neutral current transformer on a transformer?

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 the voltage of an alternating current?

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.
