Power Transformer definition & use
A power transformer is a static machine used for transforming power from one circuit to another without changing the frequency. As there is no rotating or moving parts, a transformer is classified as a static device. Transformer operates on an AC supply. Transformers operate based on the principle of mutual induction.
Potential transformer or PT can have the same construction as any normal transformer. It has primary & secondary winding. The number of turns in primary windings is greater than the number of turns in the secondary winding because it is a step-down transformer.
Usage of current transformers
A transformer is a device that converts voltage or current proportionally. The function of the transformer is to convert high voltage or high current into standard low voltage (100V) or standard low current (5A or 1A, both referring to the rated value), so as to achieve the standardization and miniaturization of measuring instruments, protection equipment and automatic control equipment.
Voltage transformer and CT polarity
In the power system, the role of the current transformer is to change the large current into the small current, isolate the secondary loop connected to the relay and measuring instrument from the high voltage system of the primary current, and convert the primary current to the secondary current value of 5A or 1A standards.
In order to ensure the safe and economical operation of the power system, the operation of the power equipment must be monitored and measured.
Three basic types of current transformer
Wound Current Transformer – The transformers primary winding is physically connected in series with the conductor that carries the measured current flowing in the circuit. The magnitude of the secondary current is dependent on the turns ratio of the transformer.

Also known as CTs, current transformers are devices that measure alternating current. They are widely used to measure high magnitude currents. A current transformer essentially lowers (steps down) a high current to a lower, safer level that you can manage properly. It steps down the current to be measured so that you can measure it with an average range ammeter.
