VTs, CTs Explanation: PT (potential transformer) or VT (voltage transformer) is a special type of transformer that allows meters to take readings from electrical service connections with higher voltage (potential) than the meter is normally capable of handling without at potential transformer. CT (current transformer) is an electronic device that produces an alternating current (AC) in its secondary which is proportional to the AC in its primary. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers (VTs) or potential transformers (PTs), which are designed for measurement, are known as instrument transformers.
