Three-point current measurement selector

This representation identifies selection among three current-measurement points. The meter is connected to one of three documented current-measurement circuits. When CT secondaries are involved, the selected switch arrangement must be considered with their continuity and test provisions.

A distinction that matters

A current selector cannot be treated as an ordinary voltage selector because CT circuits require documented continuity arrangements.

Current transformer

A current transformer produces a secondary current related to the current in its primary conductor. A drawing uses the CT representation to show where current is measured and which metering or protection circuit receives that measurement. It does not, by itself, specify the CT ratio, accuracy class, burden or secondary connection.

A distinction that matters

A CT measures current. A VT measures voltage. Their secondary circuits and isolation/testing arrangements are different.
