DANGER: Current transformers must be connected to a device, or short-circuited before power is applied in the circuit to be measured. Current transformers are constant current devices, not constant voltage like ordinary transformers.

  • A C.T. with loose leads can have lethal voltage on the terminal, possibly over 1000V.
  • Do not disconnect a C.T. when power is present in the measured circuit!
