1) voltage level up-down

2) voltage level down-up

3) isolation

Answer

Because transmission would be impossible except at high voltages/low load currents due to enormous voltage drops that would otherwise occur, and these are achieved using Transformers..

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.


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.

Can a current transformer be used for current amplify?

transformers cannot amplify!


Application of instrument transformer in power system?

Instrument transformers are used in power systems for measurement and protection purposes. Current transformers (CTs) are used to step down high currents to a measurable level for instruments and relays, while potential transformers (PTs) are used to step down high voltages. By providing accurate and isolated measurements of current and voltage, instrument transformers ensure the safety and reliability of the power system operations.


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 current transfomer is step up voltage transformer n step down current transformer?

Current transformers are not voltage transformers. Current transformer are used for metering or protection purposes, with single turn primary. Generally the secondary current is either 1Amps or 5Amps.


Can we drive relays by current transformers?

Yes, certain types of relays can be activated by current transformers.


Why ac current is used in a transformer?

AC current or DC current can be used in transformers. A transformer is made of two coils of wire, the input coil induces a current into the output coil. Transformers change the voltage either up (step up transformer) or down (step down transformer). The amount of change in voltage is dependent solely on the number of windings in both coils in the transformer. DC transformers work exactly the same way AC transformers do.
