Why Can't VT Be Shorted & CT Be Opened? Explained

We all know that a voltage transformer (VT) must never operate short-circuited, while a current transformer (CT) must never operate open-circuited. Short-circuiting a VT or opening the circuit of a CT will damage the transformer or create hazardous conditions. From a theoretical standpoint, both VTs
