In electrical power systems, Current Transformers (CTs) and Voltage Transformers (VTs) — collectively known as instrument transformers — play a vital role in both metering and protection. They form the bridge between high-voltage power circuits and low-voltage measuring and protection devices, enabling safe, accurate, and reliable system operation.
Voltage transformers (VTs), also known as potential transformers (PTs), are essential components in electrical power systems, particularly in protective relay systems. They play a crucial role in safeguarding critical infrastructure by providing accurate voltage measurements necessary for the operation of relays and other protective devices.
