why current transformer secondary side should be shorted ?

Answer Posted / joseph

if it is open circuited the whole current in the primary
becomes magnetising current and a dangerously high voltage
will appear across the secondary which will cause insulation
breakdown and even something worse.so it,s secondary always
kept shorted.
