Voltage transformers (potential transformers) are connected between the lines whose potential difference is to be determined and are used to step the voltage down (usually to 115V) and to supply the voltage circuits of the connected instrument burden. Their basic construction is similar to that of a power transformer operating at the same input voltage except that they are designed for optimum performance with the high-impedance secondary loads of the connected instruments. The core is operated at high flux density, and the insulation must be appropriate to the line-to-ground voltage. 5, record 1, English, - voltage%20transformer
