Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #695 (Set 24)

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 induction path, completely interrupting magnetic flux linkage and resulting in zero induced voltage on the secondary output terminals per basic transformer theory.
