What is the difference between voltage transformer and
potential transformer?

Answer Posted / ajay kumar rathore

Potential transformer is a type of transformer basically
used for measurement of voltage in substation type area. It
is a step down transformer. In order to receive lesser
voltage on secondary side the turn ratio is generally kept
like 1000:1. Hence by measuring the secondary voltage we
can proportionally get the value of primary voltage.
