Abstract

Abstract A potential transformer having a low voltage metering winding and an auxiliary low voltage power winding on a single core with a common primary winding is provided with a current transformer in the auxiliary low voltage power winding that, in turn, develops a voltage across a compensating impedance located in the circuit associated with the low voltage metering winding that is proportional to the current in the auxiliary low voltage power winding for the purpose of compensating the metering winding for load current drop in the primary winding.
