These are used with low range ammeters to measure current in HVAC 's where direct connection of instruments is impratical.
They not only insulate the instruments from HV lines but also step down current in a known ratio. ( i .e . )
Iline =(I1 \I2) * Ammeter Reading
where
Iline = Line Current
I1 \I2 = Current Ratio

How is current controlled in welding transformer?
in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
What is principle of Current transformer?
why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current transformer ?
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 is zero current transformer?
It is a transformer with No load attach to it.
What is the reason for using a neutral current transformer on a transformer?
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the transformer.

A transformer can only the voltage of an alternating current?
A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
Eddy current in transformer?
Yes, a transformer has eddy currents.
What is the name of the device that changes the ratio of a current in voltage?
A transformer. it steps up / down voltage, and steps down / up current.
What is the function of the primary current when the secondary winding of the transformer is open?
When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.
Magnetic inrush current in power transformer with waveforms?
The mgnetic inrush current is the current drawn by the transformer when power is applied to the primary winding
Can a constant dc current can induce a steady state voltage in a transformer?
No, the current has to change for a voltage to be induced in the transformer.
What is mean by magnetizing current of transformer?
A: As current flow in the primary it will magnetize the core of the iron in the transformer that is called magnetizing.
