Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #364 (Set 13)

When a transformer is used to step down voltage, what statement is true?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — The low voltage winding is the secondary coil.

In a step-down transformer configuration governed by IEEE 45 standards, the primary coil receives the higher input voltage, while the low-voltage winding delivers the reduced output, designating it strictly as the secondary coil.
