Reference Answer
### (a) Shipboard Applications of Current Transformers (CT) and Potential Transformers (PT)
Both Current Transformers (CTs) and Potential Transformers (PTs) or Voltage Transformers (VTs) are crucial measuring devices on board vessels, primarily used to safely step down high currents and voltages to levels suitable for measurement, protection, and control circuits. Their shipboard applications are as follows:
