To measure high voltage use suitable instrument transformer (potential transformer)

Very carefully. It can kill you. The higher the voltage the more the danger or arcing over even when two conductors are not touching. Voltage meters are rated and the rating should not be exceeded. Depending on the voltage you will need the proper meter and a high voltage probe rated for the voltage you are measuring. If you don't know what you are doing, don't mess with high voltage. Leave to the pros.

What is the high tension line?

High Tension transformer means (HT) high voltage transformer.


An ammeter and voltage range are measure the current and voltage electric lamp if mistake meter interchange what will happen?

1. Voltmeter has high impedance and hence will restrict the current severely.a) Electric Bulb will not glowb) The Ammeter will just measure the current that Voltmeter allows and since this current is much smaller than actual current nothing will happen to ammeter.c) The Voltmeter will measure the Voltage that is being applied.d) This will allow you to measure the resistance of the Voltmeter.VR=V/I


What is the relationship between voltage and current in electrical systems, specifically, does high voltage necessarily mean high current?

In electrical systems, voltage and current are related by Ohm's Law, which states that voltage equals current multiplied by resistance. Therefore, high voltage does not necessarily mean high current, as the current also depends on the resistance in the circuit.


What is the difference between HT and LT line?

ht cable that means voltage level is high , it is obvious that power is going to remain same ,so if voltage rises ,current has to be lowered .since current level is less in ht cable therefore size (dia) is less compared to l.t cable , (p=v.i),lt cable current rating is more and voltage rating is less


What is high voltage motors and low voltage motors?

None: "high tension" is just another way of saying "high voltage".


How do you measure Input high voltage?

You can measure high voltage by using Potential Transformer (PT). or by using utility meter or power manager. ANSWER: Adding a hi resistance in series with a low resistance and measuring that voltage drop. If the resistance is known then current is determined and the source can be calculated. transformers do not work well with DC,


How many voltage will pass through the high tension line?

It depends on the line, but AC high tension lines are typically between 100kV to 750kV while some DC high tension lines are as high a 1MV.Another AnswerVoltage doesn't 'pass through' a line. It appears between, or across, adjacent conductors. It's CURRENT that 'passes through' a line.


What is the main difference between HT and LT Lines?

It's the voltage: HT high voltage LT low voltage Tension = voltage (French?)


A high voltage combined with a low current will deliver less power than a moderate voltage combined with a moderate current.?

Correct. Power is determined by the product of voltage and current (P = V x I). A high voltage with low current has less overall power output compared to a moderate voltage with a moderate current due to the relationship between voltage, current, and power.


What is the spark plug voltage?

Spark plug voltage is high tension voltage, needed to jump a spark between the plus and minus poles. Needed tension is about a minimum of 10.000 Volt between the poles.


What is The operation of Current Transformer?

CT together with a ammeter is used to measure the current in high current or high voltage circuit, where a normal ammeter can not be connected in series in such high voltage or high current circuits. It is a secondary winding (like in transformer) wound on a single core primary wire and relative secondary current reperesnets the primary current. CT are also used protection purposes. Basic principle of CT i same either for metring or protection.
