What is the difference between voltage transformer and potential transformer?..

Answer / the pm

voltage transformer is generally used to step down the
voltage but potential transformer is used for both step
down the voltage as well as for protection basis.

What is the difference between voltage transformer and potential transformer?..

Answer / sareer ahmad lone

Basically,both these transformers perform the same
function.That is for metering and protection.

Is This Answer Correct ?    32 Yes 50 No

What is the difference between voltage transformer and potential transformer?..

Answer / nilesh shinde

as per construction both are same but potential transformer
is always step down type transformer where as power
transformer may be step up or step down type.

Is This Answer Correct ?    26 Yes 63 No

What is the difference between voltage transformer and potential transformer?..

Answer / a.ragavendran

current transformer is a step up transformer,the primary of
this transformer consists of a large no.of thick wire
connected in series with line. In case of P.T is a step
down transformer,the primary of this transformer consists
of a large no.of fine wire connected across the line.

I do wonder why current is present in neutral wire?i check single phase lead current feeding air conditioner...on its phase its current was 10A while same was 10A in neutral...as we know in neutral voltage is zero so if voltage is zero then how current appears on amp meter? my second observation is (just imagination)when I touch phase wire it give me shock but when i touch neutral nothing happens although as above its carrying current(amps) third but with same logic...as in simple Alternate current sine curve there is + and there is negative peak.means every time phase changing so how come every time same phase and same neutral stand (pardon for english mistakes)
