Question 12Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhen a transformer is used to step down voltage, what statement is true?
AThe low voltage winding is part of the core.
BThe low voltage winding is not insulated.
CThe low voltage winding is the primary coil.
DThe low voltage winding is the secondary coil.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) The low voltage winding is the secondary coil. In a transformer used to step down voltage, the low voltage winding is the secondary coil. The primary coil receives the higher input voltage, and the secondary coil produces the lower output voltage. This is achieved by having fewer turns in the secondary coil compared to the primary coil, which reduces the voltage according to the transformer turns ratio. The other options are incorrect because: A) the low voltage winding is not part of the core, B) the low voltage winding is insulated, and C) the low voltage winding is not the primary coil, which receives the higher input voltage.
