Which winding of the transformer has less cross-sectional area?
Correct answer: D. High voltage winding
- A. Primary winding
- B. Secondary winding
- C. Low voltage winding
- D. High voltage winding
Explanation
For approximately equal power, the high-voltage winding carries lower current than the low-voltage winding. Since conductor area is selected according to current, the high-voltage winding has the smaller cross-sectional area.
