Current is just a measurement of how many electrons are flowing through a wire in a certain amount of time. The electrons continue to exist, and will continue to flow at their current rate as long as whatever is energizing them continues to have power. So no, current is not used up, but you could describe it as power is being used up, dissipating as heat through the wires and resistors.

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.


Why is a transformer used?

To step up or step down a particular voltage using the principle of electromagnetic induction. This is a potential transformer. Transformers are also used to step up or step down current. Current transformers are used extensively in instrumentation applications. Current and voltage are inversely proportional.


What type of device is used to increase or decrease the voltage of an electric current-?

In an alternating current circuit the voltage can be stepped up ordown efficiently with a transformer.


Explain differancnce between instrument current transformer and measuring current transformer?

Current transformer is a device used to measure the flow of current through a power system and the measured current is inputted to a protective relay system. It is used to detect system malfunction. Current transducer is a device used to measure AC and DC current based on the halt-effect technology.


Does the current rating of a diode change when it is used in a bridge rectifier EG A bridge made up from four 10 amp diodes would it have a different total current rating. DD?

A : A diode is an dumb animal he does not care how it is used all it cares is that its limitations are not exceeded
