current transformer : transformation of high current into
required current rating of measuring instruments and
protection relays.
Potential transformer: step down the high voltage into low
voltage for the purpose of measuring instruments and
protection relays.

Answer / pragati kumar
Current Transformer(ct) is used to measure current in high
voltage ac circuit because it is not possible to measure
high voltage ac current with ammeter alone.Potential
Transformer(pt) is used to measure high ac voltage.

Answer / wasif arshad
Basically both CT and PT steps down the voltage but the difference is that in CT primary is not winded on the core and both the terminals of secondary are connected to ampere meter of appropriate transformation ratio while in pt both primary and secondary are wounded on the core like a simple step down transformer and both terminals of primary are connected to the high voltage and secondary to the voltmeter to give deflection according to scale of voltmeter having the same transformation ratio shown on PT.

Answer / sanjay kumar
current transformer(ct)works to reduce the current for
measuring equipment or protection relay bcoz ct works as a
step up transformer.
potential transformer(pt)works to the voltage for measuring
equipment or protection relay bcoz pt works as astep down
transformer.

When testing an earthing connection, we use a 60 or 100 candle bulb with a phase connected direct from supply and the other wire to the new earthing provided.If the bulb glows then the earth is ok.Else earth connection is not Ok. So, why dont we can use all the home appliances taking a single wire from the phase and the return connection to Earth instead of return connection to neutral?
