Now, here is something that I wonder if you could explain somewhat in more detail so I can understand it better and learn something - When does it become a voltage transformer and not a current transformer (there are AC-current transformers) and why doesn't it work as an AC-current transformer here as the capacitor is blocking the DC-component?
