Beacause CT is shorted so it is kept opened


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.

What precaution should be taken when working with current transformer that is in service?

Its secondary must never be open circuited. If its burden is to be removed, then the secondary must be short circuited first, and removed only after the burden is replaced.


What is meant by creeping in energy meter?

Hii creep is a phenomenon that can adversely affect accuracy, that occurs when the meter disc rotates continuously with potential applied and the load terminals open circuited. A test for error due to creep is called a creep test.


Why should current transformers be shunted before opening the secondary winding?

A current transformer's secondary must never be open-circuited. If the instrument fed by a CT needs to be removed, then the secondary terminals must be short-circuited first. This is because a large, and potentially-dangerous, secondary voltage will appear across an open-circuited CT. Normally, a set of links is provided at those terminals for this purpose.


Why the CT secondary short circuited?

Current transformers produce a ratio of primary current in the secondary. If the secondary of a CT is open circuited, and primary current is flowing, the CT will try to push that same ratio of current through the secondary open circuit. This causes secondary voltage to climb until it the secondary open circuit flashes over. This can often damage the CT.
