Why CT secondary is grounded?

Answer Posted / anupam a h

CT is basically a step up transformer with primary
connected in series with the load circuit,so thet we can get
a low value of current in the secondary which is
instrumentally measurable.but consequently a high voltage
will be developed in the secondary if sec is left open.to
prevent the high voltage the sec of CT is shirted

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.
