What are the uses of CT and PT?

Question

Accepted Answer

CT/PT stands for Current Transformer/Potential Transformer. They are used in electrical systems to measure current and voltage.

CTs are used to step down high currents to a safe level for measurement or protection purposes.
PTs are used to step down high voltages to a safe level for measurement or protection purposes.
CTs and PTs are commonly used in power systems, substations, and electrical equipment.
CTs and PTs provide accurate and isolated measurements of current and voltage.
CTs and PTs are essential for various applications such as metering, relaying, and protection schemes.
For example, CTs are used in energy meters to measure the current flowing through a circuit, while PTs are used in voltage meters to measure the voltage across a circuit.
