Discussion
True or false: the secondary of a current transformer may be safely short circuited but not opened, while for a potential transformer the reverse is true.
Answer: D
A current transformer is fed from a current source, so a short is its natural condition and an open circuit drives the core into saturation. A potential transformer is fed from a voltage source, so an open secondary is harmless and a short destroys the winding.
