Guest Johnsteave7 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 "If the current transformer and potential transformer are connected with wattmeter, how the primary winding and secondary winding work togeter and what is the advantage of CT and PT with long transmission line? has it minimize the total loss of generating period?Thanks!!!!!

Guest rajeshr Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Transmission efficiency is greatly improved by devices that increase the voltage, (and thereby proportionately reduce the current) in the line conductors, thus allowing power to be transmitted with acceptable losses. The reduced current flowing through the line reduces the heating losses in the conductors. A current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers (VT) (potential transformers (PT)), are known as instrument transformers. When current in a circuit is too high to apply directly to measuring instruments, a current transformer produces a reduced current accurately proportional to the current in the circuit, which can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments. A current transformer isolates the measuring instruments from what may be very high voltage in the monitored circuit. Current transformers are commonly used in metering and protective relays in the electrical power industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
