in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current transformer ?
The difference between current transformer and potential transformer is that the secondary of a current transformer can not be open circuited while under service whereas that of the potential transformer an be open circuited without any damage to the transformer.
It is a transformer with No load attach to it.
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the transformer.
CL of a CT is its accuracy class.. it is an approximate measure of the CT's accuracy. e.g. The ratio (primary to secondary current) error of a Class 1 (CL:1.0) CT is 1% at rated current

A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
Yes, a transformer has eddy currents.
A transformer. it steps up / down voltage, and steps down / up current.
A negative current only signifies direction.
When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.
The mgnetic inrush current is the current drawn by the transformer when power is applied to the primary winding
