Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #407 (Set 14)

An open primary coil in a simple potential transformer will be indicated by which of the listed conditions?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — No voltage on the output of the secondary coil.

Potential transformers step down high voltages for instrumentation. An open primary winding breaks the electromagnetic flux linkage entirely, resulting in zero induced voltage and no output on the secondary coil circuit.
