Normally current Transformers are used for two things . For measuring and protection. Whenever the CT is a protection CT it will be connected with the protection relays and there will be setting in the relays based on our requirement.

when the current pass through the relays are more than the setting range then relay will send the tripping signal to the breaker available in the system to isolate the fault section. Finally the CT is not protecting the system. it will transfer the high primary current from the system to relay as small secondary current.

Fuse to protect 110 volt from 220 volt?

Using a fuse will not protect a 110-volt appliance from 220 volts. You will need a voltage converter or transformer to step down the voltage from 220 volts to 110 volts to protect the appliance. It is important to use the correct equipment to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the appliance.


Can you use a 1000watts transformer with a 700 watts appliance?

Yes, you can use a 1000 watts transformer with a 700 watts appliance. The transformer's capacity should be equal to or greater than the appliance's wattage to prevent overloading or damage. In this case, the 1000 watts transformer has enough capacity to safely power the 700 watts appliance.


Is it dangerous to run an appliance with more watts than the transformer?

A transformer has a rating that is usually expressed in KVA. This is approximately a wattage rating. It is not dangerous but it can be the cause of some concern. An appliance has a set current that is draws. This current times the voltage is the appliance's wattage. The same goes for the transformer. It only has a certain capacity to supply a specific current that is governed by its KVA (watts). Driving the transformer beyond its rated capacity tends to heat the transformer beyond its working temperature. If left in this over current draw the transformer's windings insulation will break down and the windings will short circuit. This is usually the end of a working transformer. So short answer, more watts (amps) from appliance equals burned out transformer.


Can you plug a 115V small American appliance into 240V outlet in Australia?

No, you cannot plug a 115V American appliance directly into a 240V Australian outlet without a voltage converter or transformer. The voltage difference could damage the appliance or cause a safety hazard. It's recommended to use a voltage converter or transformer suitable for the appliance's power requirements.


Can you use transformer with your 110 aircon?

A transformer can be used to change the voltage to an appliance. The voltage rating of the transformer should be right for the voltages used, and the current rating of the transformer should not be less than the current drawn by the equipment.


Can 120V appliance work with 220V?

120V appliance will not work on 220V. Use an instrument transformer or voltage regulator to adjust the high voltage to the desired level.


Can you use an appliance on a 110 volts when it requires 120 volts?

Some appliances, like air conditioners and clothes dryers require about twice as much electricity as most other devices, and require their own 220V supply of electricity. Your appliance will not work with only half the amount of electricity it needs. I recommend calling an electrician and having him install the appropriate plug.


What position in the circuit is a fuse placed to protect a transformer?

In series to every phase winding of transformer.


What happens when an ac transformer attached to ac appliance is plugged into dc power source?

it depends on the transformer size and the period of time involved if continuous it should just blow the breaker and itself.


What is a Current Reversing Transformer?

This is a transformer built into electrical appliance to make electricity meter to stop reading or made to read in reverse order. This reduces the consumption reading and cheats the system. That is bad.


Will REF protect the outgoing cables when the Ct's are fitted at the transformer?

REF protection, when installed and set correctly, will protect everything within the CT's. If the CTs are on breakers, then yes, the cables from the transformer to the breakers will be in the zone of protection. If the CTs used are in the bushings of the transformer, then no.


Does the fuse on the primary side of a transformer protect the secondary side?

Yes, but it's usual to have fuses on both sides of the transformer.
