This depends on the situation; often CTs are not required. They may be necessary for relaying or metering; I believe some telemetering schemes sample from a CT as well.
yes........ we can short circuit the other side of the winding wen the primary is excited.... but we shouldn't apply rated voltage to the primary.. this method is used in the short circuit test of the transformer to find the parameters of the transformer.....
The CT (Current Transformer) ratio is calculated by dividing the primary current (the current flowing through the primary circuit) by the secondary current (the current flowing through the secondary circuit). The formula is CT Ratio = Primary Current (Ip) / Secondary Current (Is). For example, if a CT is designed to handle 100 A on the primary side and outputs 5 A on the secondary side, the CT ratio would be 100 A / 5 A = 20:1. This means that for every 20 A flowing in the primary circuit, 1 A will flow in the secondary circuit.
'CT' is used to designate current transformers, and 'PT' is used to designate potential transformers. A current transformer provides a ratio of primary current to the secondary. A potential transformer provides a ratio of primary voltage to the secondary. A power transformer (step up or step down) resembles a PT more than a CT.

because current entering ct's of High Side is not equal to low side ct's output current
No. A CVT (capacitor voltage transformer), like an voltage transformer, has a high primary impedance. the connections of a CT require the high voltage current to pass through the primary winding. This would result in significant loading of the circuit in question, at least until the CVT cooked.
The CL of a current transformer signifies the accuracy class of the transformer. It indicates the maximum permissible error in percentage for a given range of primary current. The lower the CL value, the higher the accuracy of the current transformer. It is important to select a current transformer with an appropriate CL value to ensure accurate measurement and protection in electrical systems.
The side of the transformer that has the ohm CT which translates into a winding on the transformer that has a center tap . This side of the transformer was likely attached directly to the audio output transistors set up in push pull configuration. This is what the center tap is for. This side of the transformer would have a higher impedance and is directly driven by the power supply to provide amplification The transformer also isolates the amplifier voltage from the other side which is of low impedance. This may be in the range of 8 to to 16 ohms which would be directly tied to a speaker.
You will end up with no current output on the secondary side of the CT.
Current Transformer- Instrument transformer used for measure high current. it hasless and thin turns in primary and more and thick turns in secondary.Potential transformer- Instrument transformer used for measure high voltage. it has more and thin turns in primary and less and thick turns in secondary.CommentUnfortunately, the original answer has got things the wrong way around for the CT! A current transformer's primary has a thicker conductor than its secondary.
IF answer is yes . please explain how we can measure in primary side ??
CL of a CT is its accuracy class.. it is an approximate measure of the CT's accuracy. e.g. The ratio (primary to secondary current) error of a Class 1 (CL:1.0) CT is 1% at rated current
