what is the differenc between A.C. and D.C, which is more
dangerious?

Answer Posted / ankit

ac is alternate current.
Dc is direct current.
In our house 230 V ac is used. If u get
shock.. There is a chance to escape as
voltage is low and ac current crosses zero
at every half cycle...
But dc current can do much damage to u
as it does not crosses zero...constant full
dc voltage is applied to u.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.
