An open primary coil in a simple potential transformer will be indicated by which of the listed conditions?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) No voltage on the output of the secondary coil.
An open primary coil in a simple potential transformer will result in no voltage being induced in the secondary coil, as the primary circuit is broken and no magnetic flux is being generated to induce a voltage in the secondary. This is the key indication of an open primary coil - the absence of any output voltage on the secondary side.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) An infinite resistance value would indicate an open circuit, not specifically an open primary coil.
B) An overloaded secondary coil would not be an indication of an open primary.
C) A low resistance value on the primary coil would not necessarily indicate an open circuit.
