a) The Primary conductor is short than (in live tank CT) than the

Dead tank CT which gives better Rigidity and gives high short

circuit current withstanding capability and reliability.

b) Primary winding is uniformly distributed around Core, Hence CT

is truly low reactance type, which has inherent better transient

performance.

c) Due to shorter length and the tank being live the major

insulation is not over the high current carrying primary, which is

the main source of heat (as in the case of Dead tank type design.)

the insulation does not get heated up while dissipating the heat

generated. This facilitates much superior thermal stability of

insulation and longer life.
