If a transformer is continuously operated the maximum temperature rise will occur in_______________?
Correct answer: B. windings
- A. core
- B. windings
- C. tank
- D. any of the above
Explanation
The windings generally have the highest temperature rise because they produce I²R copper loss and are surrounded by insulation that restricts heat transfer. The winding hot spot is therefore the critical temperature location.
