What is CT's and PT's and LA's and Transformers?

Question

Accepted Answer

CTs, PTs, LAs, and Transformers are electrical devices used in power systems for measurement, protection, and voltage transformation.

CTs (Current Transformers) are used to measure and transform high currents into manageable levels for instruments and relays.
PTs (Potential Transformers) are used to measure and transform high voltages into low voltages for instruments and relays.
LAs (Lightning Arresters) are used to protect electrical equipment from lightning strikes and voltage surges.
Transformers are devices that transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
CTs and PTs are commonly used in power substations for metering, protection, and control purposes.
Examples of transformers include power transformers used in electrical grids and distribution transformers used in residential areas.
