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.
