What is the difference between voltage transformer and
potential transformer?

Answer Posted / anand kumar c

Both potential transformer and voltage transformers are
same. In some of the areas we will be mentioning it as a
voltage transformer(especially in measuring purpose). Both
are used for the measuring and protection purpose only(as i
mentioned same). these transformers step down the higher
voltages (primary voltages can be in kv's)to measurable
voltages(standard sec voltages are 110v, 100v, 63.5v,
57.7v ) in measuring instrument like voltmeter,
multimeter.
