The discussion revolves around understanding the differences between live type and dead type current transformers, including their advantages and applications. It touches on concepts related to electrical engineering and safety considerations.
The discussion does not reach a consensus on the advantages of live type over dead type current transformers, and multiple viewpoints are presented without resolution.
Some assumptions about the safety implications of live and dead tanks are mentioned, but specific details about the advantages of each type of current transformer remain unresolved.

jegues said:I'm not 100% sure about current transformers, but I know the difference between live and dead tank circuit breakers is that the enclosure that houses the windings (i.e. the "tank") is at line potential (i.e. live tank) and the other is at Earth potential. (i.e. dead tank)
I'm sure you could apply the same concept to the housing of CT's.
They say if you touch a live tank you'll be dead and vice versa, if you touch a dead tank you'll live.

How are you not capable of doing this yourself?
