The voltage ratio of a potential, or voltage, transformer (PT or VT) depends upon the primary voltage to which it is connected. Accordingly, its voltage ratio varies considerably, as there is huge variety of system voltages throughout the world.

Typically a VT's secondary voltage is standardised at 110 V which will match the full-scale deflection of a voltmeter connected to it (although it can also supply protective relays), while its primary voltage is then matched to the voltage of the system to which it is connected: in the UK, for example:

  • 11-kV:110 V
  • 33-kV:110 V
  • etc.

What is the purpose of a high voltage transformer?

if the transformer is distributing transformer then we shoud have to give more prefer to the high volatage to reduce losses if we distibute power at low volage there is more current which causes more losses and in hv system there is high volage and low is current so the losses are also low


Why the iron losses in a transformer is constant at all load prove that?

since the iron loss depends only on the volage and frequency,the supply volage is 230v ac.Hence iron loss is always constant


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.


How do you calculate the transformer turns ratio?

For an ideal transformer, the voltage ratio is the same as its turns ratio.


Can a distribution transformer be used as a potential transformer?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a "potential transformer", but I look at it this way: The transformer isn't aware of the purpose to which you're putting it, so no matter what you call the function, the transformer continues to perform it ... transforming voltages and impedances in proportion to the turns ratio, and currents in proportion to its inverse.

because the copper is saved in the auto transformer that is the ratio of weights of copper in auto transformer to normal transformer is (1-(1/a)) where a is transformer ratio


What is transformation ratio of step-up transformer?

The ratio depends on the ratio of the length of the windings and depends on the specific transformer. There is no single answer to this question.


How do you determine transformer turns ratio if the supply source and load is given?

Transformer turns ratio is the ratio of voltages between two windings. For instance, a 24VAC control transformer that runs on 120VAC will have a turns ratio about 5 to 1.

Difference between potential transformer and current trasnformer?

The difference between current transformer and potential transformer is that the secondary of a current transformer can not be open circuited while under service whereas that of the potential transformer an be open circuited without any damage to the transformer.
