The secondary winding of a C.T. ____________(a) can be shorted(b) can’t be shorted(c) can be opened(d) can’t be openedThis question was addressed to me in an interview.This interesting question is from Open Circuiting the Secondary Circuit of a Current Transformer topic in division Extension of Instrument Ranges of Electrical Measurements

Answer»

Right choice is (a) can be shorted

Easy explanation: When a C.T. is used in measurements, it ACTS as a SHORT circuit. This is because the impedance of the load is negligible DUE to the ammeter or the wattmeter COIL. Thus the secondary winding of a C.T. can be shorted.
