(OP)
Dear All,
Can any one tell me please the differences between the inductive and capacitive measurement transformers.
Wich is much better for use Inductive or Capacitive measurement transformers?

Best Regards.

RE: [b]MEASUREMENT TRANSFORMERS[/b]

I believe what you are calling an inductive measurement transformer is a common transformer that steps the voltage down to a useable level, such as 120 V.  It is commonly refered to as a Potential Transformer and will have a metering accuracy associated with it.
What you refer to as capacitive transformer is a coupling capacitor.  It is a series of capacitors with a tap at a location where the voltage is graded down to a useable level.  These are typically used on high voltage systems, especially power line carrier signals.
