I have another polarity driven question. Lets say I have a pole mounted ct on a single phase service, it is a standard outdoor primary CT. Now I have a choice of a single bushing or a double bushing pt. I choose the double bushing and now make the primary connections. I jumper down from the H1 of the CT, do I have to connect to the H1 of the double bushing PT? If I jumpered down from the H2 of the CT would I have to jumper to the H2 of the Pt? It is understood that the other bushing would be tied to neutral/ground and that if I reverse the primary connection I would reverse the secondary. Can anyone explain how these polarities stay in phase? If I used a single bushing PT and jumpered down from the H2 to the bushing would I have to reverse the secondary connection? I'm hoping someone can put a fine point on this topic. It is more of a what-if line of questioning. I just want to be able to reason any Ct Pt combinations without any guesswork if this is possible.
