[Boatanchors] PTs and CTs

[RBethman]

Both potential transformers, (PTs) AND current transformers, (CTs) are 
used for providing metering, operational displays, AND safety relay 
systems on Power Systems.

Since we are looking at a 15:1 CT for metering, AND there MUST be a 
potential for current to flow - THEN -there MUST be a 15:1 Voltage 
present in this proposed system.

if the Voltage involved is 120VAC - THEN the potential available at ONE 
end of the CT system is FIFTEEN times the voltage used at the meter end.

That is PRECISELY - why - I am promoting the use of a shunt!

No voltage increases are POSSIBLE!
