3.  Current Transformer (CT)  A current transformer (CT) is a type of transformer that is used to measure AC Current. It produce an alternating current (AC) in its secondary which is proportional to the AC current in its primary. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers (VTs) or potential transformers (PTs), which are designed for measurement, are known as an Instrument transformer.  The main tasks of instrument transformers are:  To transform currents or voltages from a usually high value to a value easy to handle for relays and instruments.  To insulate the metering circuit from the primary high voltage system.  To provide possibilities of standardizing the instruments and relays to a few rated currents and voltages. 3

8.  Potential Transformers (PTs) or Voltage Transformers (VTs)  PTs or VTs are the most common device used. These devices use standard transformer theory with 2-3 windings (one primary with one or two secondary windings) with a magnetic connection via an iron core. The high side winding is constructed with more copper turns than the secondary(ies) and any voltage impressed on the primary winding is reflected on the secondary windings in direct proportion to the turns ratio or PT ratio. The secondary windings often have 2 taps with a nominal voltage of 115/67V, 120/69V, or 120/208V. This style of PT is the most accurate style in use. A typical PT is shown in Figure 1. 8
