| + | **DANGER:** Current transformers must be connected to a device, or short-circuited before power is applied in the circuit to be measured. Current transformers are //constant current// devices, not //constant voltage// like ordinary transformers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **A C.T. with loose leads can have lethal voltage on the terminal, possibly over 1000V.** | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Do not disconnect a C.T. when power is present in the measured circuit!** | ||
