What is the difference between voltage transformer and potential transformer?..

Answer / a.ragavendran

current transformer is a step up transformer,the primary of
this transformer consists of a large no.of thick wire
connected in series with line. In case of P.T is a step
down transformer,the primary of this transformer consists
of a large no.of fine wire connected across the line.
