Question
In which of the transformer is the secondary nearly short circuited under normal operating conditions?
Options
A. CT
B. PT
C. Distribution transformer
D. Power transformer

Correct Answer

CT

Explanation

CT is operated with secondary short-circuited otherwise a high emf would be induced across secondary.
