A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current Transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.
The output of a solar panel is direct current. Transformers need alternating current to operate.
The transmission of electrical energy requires very high voltages (for a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the load current). To increase/reduce these voltages, you need transformers. Transformers are AC machines; they do not work with DC.
There's Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, and Transformers: Dark of The moon.
PTs are high voltage, low current transformers and so need a relatively high impedance (or burden) load to function accurately. CTs are high current, low voltage (if not open circuited!) transformers and so need a very low impedance load to function accurately.
The need for more and more power. In a fixed voltage system like DC, power is proportional to current, and current is related to conductor size. In order to have more power, you had to have larger conductors, and it was becoming unwieldy. With AC, we could use transformers to step up the voltage. Power is now proportional to both current and voltage, but current is still only related to conductor size, which means that with higher voltage, you could transfer more power with smaller conductors. Transformers would step up the voltage at the substation for transmission and distribution, while transformers on the poles would step it back down for small groups of services.
The current is automatically stepped up or down when the voltge is stepped down or up by a transformer.Most transformers are designed for a constant voltage, and the current varies depending on the load. Current transformers are also made to detect the current in a power cable so that it can be measured.Another AnswerIt's a misconception that transformers step current up or down (with the exception of current transformers, that is!). Transformers step voltages up or down. The secondary current is determined by the load. If there is no load, then there is no secondary current; if there is a heavy load, then there will be a heavy secondary current.The secondary current then determines the primary current, because the primary power must match the secondary power (ignoring losses), so if the secondary current increases, so must the primary current. The current itself isn't stepped up or down. Normal transformers work with constant-voltage supplies and are designed to step the voltage up or down, and the current is incidentally stepped down or up in the same ratio as the voltage.Current transformers are designed to step current up or down (usually down), and are used most commonly to sample the current in power conductors.
No but if you do you get the story
You sheer sheep in order to utilise their wool for clothing and other commodities that we need/want.
For higher current applications you would need a power transformer, for lower current applications you would need an adapter transformer.
An ammeter either directly, or via a current transformer, is used to measure current in a circuit.Current Transformers (CTs) are necessary when either (1) you need to measure the large currents flowing in high-voltagesystems (a CT will isolate the HV system from the ammeter to which it is connected, as well as reduce the value of the HV current) or (2) you need to reduce the very large currents to be measured in medium-voltage systems.

Not usually. The primary current for neon tube transformers are not that high and can be added to existing circuits. Many of these types of neon transformers just plug into a normal wall receptacle. If it is a large neon sign it is a good idea to use a dedicated circuit for isolation purposed when servicing the sign.
