What is C.T, why it is used and what care should be taken
for that while connecting?

Answer Posted / vishvesh

normally in high voltage line is it not possible to measure
current directly by any instrument for measuring of
protection purpose. CT (current transformer) as the name
suggest step down the value of current to very nominal
stage so that normal instrument can get reading from it.
and with progressive ratio calibration. we can get actual
value of current flowing through the line. also the relays
for the protection are connected with secondary of CT.

how does the terminal voltage of transmission lines increase when a capacitor is connected???? This happens not only in transmission lines but also in all circuits. How??? When a capacitor is connected in a transmission line, capacitor also takes energy from the same supply. But how is it able to increase the terminal voltage??? Practically What sequence of events happen during increase in voltage???

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
