Potential Transformers are instrument transformers. They have a large number of primary turns and a few number of secondary turns. It is used to control the large value of voltage.
WORKING:
The potential transformer works along the same principle of other transformers. It converts voltages from high to low. It will take the thousands of volts behind power transmission systems and step the voltage down to something that meters can handle. These transformers work for single and three phase systems, and are attached at a point where it is convenient to measure the voltage.
No actually not, there are many differences in so many things
(1)Size:- Potential transformer has very smaller size then Power Transformer.
(2)Capacity:- Power transformer is designed to work on kilo amperes where potential transformer has almost negligible current during operation.
(3)Utility:- Potential Transformer is used to convert very high voltage to very low voltage and output is connected to a voltmeter which is calibrated accordingly to measure high voltage,where Power Transformer is used in transmissions of power supply.
A potential transformer (US terminology) or voltage transformer (UK terminology) is an instrument transformer, whose output voltage is a small percentage of its primary voltage. It is used (a) to allow voltage measurements to be made, while electrically-isolating the high-voltage primary from the voltmeter, and (b) to provide the input to certain types of high-voltage protection relays.
A 'potential transformer' is the North-American term for what, elsewhere, is called a 'voltage transformer'. This, together with a current transformer, is classified as an 'instrument transformer', and is used to (a) reduce high-voltages to safe levels for metering or protective-relay applications, while (b) electrically-isolating the secondary circuit from the high-voltage primary circuit for reasons of safety.
The term, 'potential device', is too vague to mean anything specific, but could be used to describe any device that operates at some potential with respect to earth (ground).
Potential Transformers are used to operate instruments or relays or pilot lights and in conjunction with standard low range volt meters, etc...
This depends on the burden rating of the PT. If it's a 15VA PT, made for a secondary voltage of 120v, then the maximum secondary current should not exceed 0.125A.
It's a PT (potential transformer) that's attached to the bus.
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.
Yes, both to provide a new neutral-bond connection and to equalize potential between various bonds.
Electrical voltage can be changed by a transformer.
Transformer
A three phase watt meter's potential transformer and current transformer are located remotely from the metering cabinet. On large size bus installations it would be impossible to take the bus bars to the meter so it is done the other way around. Leave the Ct's and Pt's on the bus bars and use smaller wire to feed the meter in a remote accessible location. The utility company requires a metering cabinet over certain voltages and amperage be accessible to the meter reader. In some installations the metering cabinet is installed remotely on the outside of the building away from the electrical room.

potential transformer is to maser and protection purpose the ivt is used for synchronicing purpose
A generator bus is the bus that connects the generator to it's generating transformer.

Control transformer used only for control supply 110,220, 24,12V AC. But Potential transformer used voltage measurement purpose.
The electrical device is a transformer.

A transformer is an electrical device that takes electricity of one voltage and changes it into another voltage. You'll see transformers at the top of utility poles and even changing the voltage in a toy train set.
Yes, both to provide a new neutral-bond connection and to equalize potential between various bonds.
A 'voltage transformer' (called a 'potential transformer' in North America) is classified as an 'instrument transformer', and is used to reduce the voltage of an electrical system to a lower, safe, level for the purposes of either operating a voltmeter or supplying a protection relay. At the same time, it electrically-isolates the meter or relay from the high-voltage system.
