The following figure shows the connections of Correct Answer Potential transformers
Potential transformer (PT):
- A potential transformer (PT) is an instrument transformer used to transfer the voltage from a higher value to a lower value.
- It is a step-down transformer.
- Its secondary voltage is very low compared to primary
- It is used in high voltage lines for operating the potential coils of wattmeter, voltmeter, relays, etc.
- Generally secondary of PT is rated for 110 V.
- PT always connected in parallel to the transmission line.
- The nominal ratio is defined as the ratio of rated primary voltage to the rated secondary voltage.
- In PT, if the load increases then both the ratio error and phase angle error increase.
