potential transformer?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
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.

Answer / maharaja.a
THE VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER USED ONLY BELOW 110 KV PROTECTION
BUT THE POTENTIAL TRANSFORMER USED FOR HIGHER VOLTAGES.

Answer / vishal shirke
potential transformer is used to measure voltage difference
between any two points.voltage transformer is used to
measure line voltage.

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 |
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.

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.
