PT's are typically used for metering and relaying purposes to sample the power system voltage and phase angles. The primary is at line voltage, and the secondary is typically between 66 - 120 volts (depending on primary connection, Line to Line or Line to Neutral). So yes, PT's are step down Transformers.

Is ct step up or step down?

'CT' is used to designate current transformers, and 'PT' is used to designate potential transformers. A current transformer provides a ratio of primary current to the secondary. A potential transformer provides a ratio of primary voltage to the secondary. A power transformer (step up or step down) resembles a PT more than a CT.
