❓Why doesn’t a current transformer boost voltage—even when the turns ratio says it should?
In this video, you’ll learn:
🔹Why CT voltage ratio ≠ real output voltage
🔹Why the primary conductor is almost at the same potential
🔹Why the secondary voltage stays near 0V
🔹And why a CT secondary must NEVER be left open
⚡Open the secondary circuit, and a CT can generate hundreds or even thousands of volts—extremely dangerous.⚠
