2. IntroductionIn electrical power system the range of current and voltage is very high and so it is not possible to measure these values directly by any meter of reasonable size and construction.So there is a need to step down these voltages or currents to such a value so that it can be easily measured.Such transformers which are used with the measuring instruments are called instrument transformers.
3. IntroductionTransformer used for the measurement of current is called the current transformer or C.T.Transformer used for measurement of voltage is called potential transformer or P.T.
4. Advantages of Instrument TransformerTheir readings do not depend upon circuit constants such as R, L and C.It is possible to standardize the instrument around their ratings.The measuring circuit is isolated from the power circuitThere is low power consumption in the metering circuitSeveral instruments can be operated from a single instrument transformer.
5. Terms Related to Instrument TransformerTransformation ratio (R): For a current transformer or C.T., it is defined as the ratio of primary winding current to secondary winding current. That is,
6. Terms Related to Instrument TransformerTransformation ratio (R): For a potential transformer or P.T., it is defined as the ratio of primary winding voltage to secondary winding voltage. That is,
7. Terms Related to Instrument TransformerNominal Ratio (Kn):For a current transformer or C.T., it is defined as the ratio of rated primary winding current to rated secondary winding current. That is,
8. Terms Related to Instrument TransformerNominal Ratio (Kn):For a potential transformer or P.T., it is defined as the ratio of rated primary winding voltage to rated secondary winding voltage. That is,
9. Terms Related to Instrument TransformerTurns Ratio (n):For a current transformer or C.T., it is defined as the ratio of number of secondary winding turns to number of primary winding turns. That is,

11. Instrument TransformerBurden of an Instrument TransformerThe secondary load of a C.T. is generally called the burden to distinguish it from the load of the current whose current is being measured.The burden in a C.T. metering circuit is the impedance presented to its secondary winding.
12. Instrument TransformerBurden of an Instrument TransformerThe typical burden ratings for IEC C.T.s are, 1.5 VA, 3 VA, 5 VA, 10 VA, 15 VA, 20 VA, 30 VA, 45 VA, 60 VA. For ANSI/IEEE burden ratings are B-0.1, B-0.2, B-0.5, B-1.0, B-2.0 and B-4.0. This means a C.T. with a aburden rating of B-0.2 can tolerate upto 0.2Ω of impedance in the metering circuit before its secondary accuracy falls outside the accuracy specification.

14. Instrument TransformerClassification of Current Transformers Bar Type: They are usually bolted to the current caring device and is insulated for the operating voltage of the system. They have a permanent bar installed as a primary conductor.
15. Instrument TransformerClassification of Current Transformers Wound C.T.: Wound C.T. has a primary and secondary winding like a normal transformer. They are designed to measure currents from 1 amp to 100 amps. Wound primary C.T. are available in ratios from 2.5:5 to 100:5. The wound type provides excellent performance under a wide operating range.
16. Instrument TransformerClassification of Current Transformers Window: They don’t have any primary winding and so is installed around the primary conductor. The electric field created by current flowing through the primary conductor interacts with the C.T. core to transform the current to the appropriate secondary output. Window C.T. are the most commonly used.
17. Instrument TransformerClassification of Current Transformers Split Core C.T.: Split core C.T. have one end removable so that the load conductor or bus bar does not have to be disconnected to install the C.T.. There are used for measuring currents
18. Instrument TransformerClassification of Potential Transformers Electromagnetic Potential Transformer: hese Transformers have similarities to the Primary Transformers where both the winding, Primary and Secondary are wound to the magnetic core. These Transformers are usually used in relay, meter and high voltage circuits. In this type of Transformer, the Primary Winding is connected to the Phase and Secondary Winding is in contact with the ground.
19. Instrument TransformerClassification of Potential Transformers Capacitive Potential Transformer: These Transformers are also known as Coupling type or Potential Dividers or the Bushing types. The Capacitors are wound to either the Primary or Secondary Winding with the voltage measured across the Secondary Winding. This Transformer is expensive and used for the Power line carrier communication.
20. Instrument TransformerDifference Between C.T. and P.T.CURRENT TRANSFORMERPOTENTIAL TRANSFORMERSecondary must be kept under short circuit condition always.Secondary is open circuited.Windings carry full line current.Windings have full line voltage.Primary current is independent of secondary.Primary is dependent on secondary.It can be considered as series transformer under short circuit condition.It can be considered as parallel transformer under open circuit condition.Small voltage exists across its terminals.Full line voltage appears across its terminals.
21. CURRENT TRANSFORMER The primary winding of a C.T. is connected in series with the line whose current needs to be measured. The primary winding has less number of turns and so the voltage drop across it is also less. The secondary winding on the other hand has large number of turns. The meters (ammeter or the current coil of the wattmeter) are connected directly across the secondary winding.
22. CURRENT TRANSFORMER Thus we can say that the secondary side of the C.T. is operated nearly under short circuit condition. Since the secondary is nearly short circuited one of the terminals of the secondary winding is earthed to protect the equipment and also the personnel in the case of an insulation breakdown in C.T.
