Which of the following is NOT a reason for using an instrument transformer?

  • A.to isolate the instrument and the operator from the system voltage
  • B.to allow a standard instrument to be used at any system voltage or current
  • C.to reduce the power that must be taken from the circuit under measurement
  • D.to improve the accuracy of the instrument beyond its own class

Answer: D

Correct answer: to improve the accuracy of the instrument beyond its own class

An instrument transformer can only add its own errors of ratio and phase angle to those of the instrument; it cannot make a class 1 instrument better than class 1. The three genuine reasons are all present: isolation from system voltage, the use of standard 5 A and 110 V instruments at any system rating, and a small burden drawn from the circuit measured.
