Potential Transformer

A Potential Transformer (PT), also known as a Voltage Transformer, is an instrument transformer used to step down high voltage to a lower, measurable value for metering and protection in power systems.

PTs work on the same principle as a regular transformer but are designed for precision and safety, not power delivery.

Option 3 is NOT correct because:

  • Voltage measurement accuracy in a PT depends primarily on the Ratio Error, not just the power angle (phase angle) error.
  • Power angle error (or phase error) affects power and energy measurements (since they involve phase relationships), but not voltage measurement alone.
  • Voltage measurement is mostly impacted by ratio error, which is the deviation from the ideal voltage transformation ratio.
