Best Answer

1) voltage level up-down

2) voltage level down-up

3) isolation

Answer

Because transmission would be impossible except at high voltages/low load currents due to enormous voltage drops that would otherwise occur, and these are achieved using Transformers..

CTs are used where the primary current and voltage are high and hence can not be directly taken into control circuit. By using a CT the corresponding current of primary current is made available on the secondary side, which are low and be taken in to control circuits conveniently.

Current Transformers Manufacturers?

Macroplast Transformers is a leading Current Transformers Manufacturers in India. Current transformers are devices that transform higher current value to lower current value. Current transformers provide galvanic isolation from the voltage on the primary winding while simultaneously creating a power signal that has been converted to a standard level, which in turn permits the use of standard measurement instruments and relays.

Does the battery method have any limitations on testing the transformers polarity?

yes its does the higher the current will blow out the transformers


How many times is the word transformers used in the first movie?

The first movie was silent and had no subtitles either so the word "transformers" was never used in the first movie. No words were used.

What are the functions of current transformers and the difference between current transformers and voltage transformers?

To sense the current flow across the current transformers and to monitor the current ratings. In current transformers no voltage variations occurs. but in voltage transformers it is mainly used to increase or decrease the voltage value.


Who would need to utilise current transformers?

A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.


Are Transformers used in circuits with Direct Current?

No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.


Can a current transformer be used for current amplify?

transformers cannot amplify!

Type of transformers used in gas insulated substation?

Current transformer and voltage transformer . This transformers are actually measuring instruments which measures the quantity of current and voltage coming out of the substation.


How current transfomer is step up voltage transformer n step down current transformer?

Current transformers are not voltage transformers. Current transformer are used for metering or protection purposes, with single turn primary. Generally the secondary current is either 1Amps or 5Amps.


Why ac current is used in a transformer?

AC current or DC current can be used in transformers. A transformer is made of two coils of wire, the input coil induces a current into the output coil. Transformers change the voltage either up (step up transformer) or down (step down transformer). The amount of change in voltage is dependent solely on the number of windings in both coils in the transformer. DC transformers work exactly the same way AC transformers do.


Can we drive relays by current transformers?

Yes, certain types of relays can be activated by current transformers.
