A secondary instrument is a instrument whose sound is in comparison to the main instrument. It also can be a back up instrument.

What is mean by burden of the current transformers?

The burden on a CT is the sum total impedance connected to the secondary - including the CT secondary winding coil resistance, lead resistance, and any loads attached (relays, meters, etc.).If this is for power calculations and CT saturation in three phase systems, remember you must multiply the lead resistance by two to get the total path resistance.Another AnswerWe use the word, 'burden', to describe the load supplied by the instrument transformer's secondary. This is normally a measuring instrument or protection relay. We use the word 'burden' to distinguish it from the 'load' supplied by the circuit to which the primary winding is connected.


What is VA burden in electrical engineering?

The term 'burden' is used to describe the secondary load applied to an instrument transformer; the reason for this is so that it is not confused with the 'load' supplied by the high-voltage circuit to which the transformer's primary is connected. A burden is either a measuring instruments (ammeter,voltmeter, wattmeter, etc.) or protective relay, depending on the function of the instrument transformer. 'V.A' is the symbol for 'volt ampere', which defines the 'power' rating of the instrument transformer.


What are the two coils in a transformer?

primary and secondary coilsAnswerPrimary and secondary windings.


When can be current in a primary coil induce a current in a secondary coil?

Secondary current = Primary current *(Number of secondary turns /Number of primary) turnsAnswerA current isn't 'induced' into the secondary winding of a transformer. It's a voltage that is induced into the secondary winding.Provided the secondary winding is connected to a load, the secondary voltage then supplies a secondary current which is determined from (Is = Vs/Rload). The primary current then depends upon the value of the secondary current and the turns ratio.


What is the secondary rating of a 50KVA transformer?

The secondary current is determined by the load, not by the transformer. For example, if the secondary voltage is 50 V and the load is 100 ohms, then the secondary current will be 0.5 A. If the load is 25 ohms, then the secondary current will be 2 A. It is important that a continuous secondary current doesn't exceed the rated secondary current of the transformer.

A counter melody is a secondary or supplemental melody that is played simultaneously with the main melody.


What is a good secondary instrument for a flute player?

If you are looking for a second instrument to learnt to play and you started on flute, it really depends on what you want. If you feel like confusing yourself, try an instrument in bass clef. If you are looking for something relatively easy to learn, try and instrument on treble clef, like clarinet or saxaphone.

Why should current transformers be shunted before opening the secondary winding?

A current transformer's secondary must never be open-circuited. If the instrument fed by a CT needs to be removed, then the secondary terminals must be short-circuited first. This is because a large, and potentially-dangerous, secondary voltage will appear across an open-circuited CT. Normally, a set of links is provided at those terminals for this purpose.


What are the uses of instrument?

The term, 'instrument transformer', is applied to current transformers and voltage transformers (known, in North America, as 'potential Transformers'). The primary windings of instrument transformers are connected to high-voltage systems, and their secondary windings provide outputs to measuring instruments or protective relays. They also provide isolation from the high-voltage system for the purpose of safety.
