Current Transformers (CTs) are used to monitor the current (or lack of) in high-voltage systems, and their secondary outputs controls the behaviour of protection-system relays. The CTs (1) reduce the current to values that match the current ratings of the protective relays, and (2) electrically-isolate the relays from the high-voltage system.

What are the advantages of instrument transformer?
'Instrument transformer' is the collective name for current transformers (CTs) and voltage (or 'potential') transformers (VTs/PTs). These transformers have two functions:to reduce the current or voltage in a high-voltage primary circuit to values that may be measured using regular ammeters or voltmeters ('burdens'), or to provide the current or voltage inputs to protection relays.to electrically-isolate their secondary burdens from the high-voltage primary circuit for the purpose of safety.
What are the limitations of current transformers?
low accuracy
Why current transformers are used after circuit breakers?
Current transformers are used to supply a ratio of the current flowing through the breaker to equipment such as protective relays and meters. If the CTs are used for protection, they are placed around a breaker to provide different, ideally overlapping, zones of protection.
Type of transformers used in gas insulated substation?
Current transformer and voltage transformer . This transformers are actually measuring instruments which measures the quantity of current and voltage coming out of the substation.
How do you reduces ac no lode current in transformers?
Disconnect the primary source.
What is the advantage of current transformer?
CTs, as well as potential transformers, are called instrument transformers. If the current in the circuit is high then CT will reduce the current and produce a accurately proportional current required in the circuit.It is commonly used in metering systems,protective relays.AnswerA CT also has the important function of electrically-isolating the secondary circuit from the primary circuit -veryimportant in high-voltage applications.
What are the functions of current transformers and the difference between current transformers and voltage transformers?
To sense the current flow across the current transformers and to monitor the current ratings. In current transformers no voltage variations occurs. but in voltage transformers it is mainly used to increase or decrease the voltage value.
Who would need to utilise current transformers?
A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.
Is there across the line 3 phase meter mains?
Yes up to a certain amperage. In my area you can go 3 phase up to 200 amps. Any services larger that that, the power authority requires current transformers. For higher voltages and current, current transformers and potential transformers are required. These are installed in what is called a metering cabinet.
What is the working principal of transformers?
to provide required current one ckt to another without change in frequency
Can we drive relays by current transformers?
Yes, certain types of relays can be activated by current transformers.
Are Transformers used in circuits with Direct Current?
No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.
Acids conduct electric current by forming what?
By direct from the manufacturer! Current & Potential Transformers
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.
Direct electric current cannot be used to operate A. Electric motors B. Electric heaters C. Electromagnets D. Transformers?
Direct electric current cannot be used to operate D. Transformers.
Current Transformers Manufacturers?
Macroplast Transformers is a leading Current Transformers Manufacturers in India. Current transformers are devices that transform higher current value to lower current value. Current transformers provide galvanic isolation from the voltage on the primary winding while simultaneously creating a power signal that has been converted to a standard level, which in turn permits the use of standard measurement instruments and relays.

Which phase of a three phase system should current transformer be installed?
current transformers used for relaying and metering purposes should ideally be installed on all three phases. For specific purposes, you may only use CT's on two phases, such as when implementing certain types of ground relaying, but even in this instance three phase CT's are necessary for phase to phase fault protection. I know it is sometimes a utility practice to only meter off of two phases, as long as system voltages and currents are well balanced.
