What caution must be taken when working with the secondary circuit of a current transformer?

What will be an ideal response?


The secondary circuit of a transformer should never be opened when there is current in the primary winding. If the secondary circuit is opened when there is current in the primary winding, then the entire primary current is an exciting current that induces a high voltage in the secondary winding. This voltage can be high enough to endanger human life.
