Questions and Answers

What is the implication of an open secondary winding in a current transformer?

  • No current flows through the secondary circuit. (correct)
  • Overloading of the primary circuit.
  • Increased current flow in the secondary circuit.
  • Decreased primary current readings.

How does an open secondary winding affect current measurement by a CT?

  • Does not impact current measurement.
  • Results in incorrect or no current readings. (correct)
  • Improves the accuracy of current measurements.
  • Causes an increase in primary current readings.

What danger can arise due to voltage accumulation in an open secondary winding?

  • Enhanced protective relay operation.
  • Increased risk of arcing and safety hazards. (correct)
  • Improved meter readings.
