A current transformer is used in high voltage circuits where it is not possible to measure current directly. A CT is a step up transformer with only one turn in primary. There will be as many cores based on the purposes like metering, protection etc. The secondary of a CT should never be kept open circuited bcoz very high flux will be developed in the secondary and hence it may be damaged.

What type of current must be used with a transformer?
DC current cannot be used in a transformer only AC will work. A transformer needs the continual build and collapse of the magnetic field to keep the iron core from reaching saturation. Only alternating current will transfer power through a transformer.
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.
Eddy current in transformer?
Yes, a transformer has eddy currents.
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.
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.
Is transformer work without freqency?
No. A transformer has to have AC, alternating current, to work. And since it's alternating, it'll have a frequency.
Is power transformer is constant current device?
No, it has to be an alternating current in order to work
Which type of current does a transformer work with?
A transformer works with alternating current (AC). The primary coil of the transformer is connected to an AC power source, which creates a changing magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary coil.
What type of current must be used with a transformer?
DC current cannot be used in a transformer only AC will work. A transformer needs the continual build and collapse of the magnetic field to keep the iron core from reaching saturation. Only alternating current will transfer power through a transformer.
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.
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.
What is zero current transformer?
It is a transformer with No load attach to it.
Why you have to do current transformer knee point test?
we are not having anyother work, so only we are testing that.
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.
If DC is applied to the primary of a transformer is there any current in the secondary and if there is then whether ac or DC?
first, understand that a transformer is an AC DEVICE. it wont work on dc...
