A ct is a step up transformer where as a pt is a step down transformer because both are used for measurement and protection purpose . current is stepped down if the secondary windings are more so we can obviously say thar ct is step up transformer

Why can a CT be shorted and a Pt cannot?

A current transformer pushes a ratio of primary current in the secondary. A potential transformer pushes a ratio of primary voltage in the secondary. Shorting a CT allows the full current the CT wants to push to flow. Shorting a PT makes it very difficult for the PT to produce rated voltage. To keep the voltage at rated value, the PT would have to push ~infinite secondary current.
