What will happen to the primary winding when the load increases on the secondary windings of a transformer?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — There will be an increase in the primary current.
Transformer action requires amp-turn balance. When secondary load increases, secondary current rises, causing an immediate proportional increase in primary winding current drawn from the supply to maintain core magnetic flux equilibrium under IEEE 45 principles.
