Textbook Question
Chapter 3.3, Problem 2T
The two primary windings of a dual-primary control transformer (240 V or 480 V) are to be connected in parallel to step the line voltage of 240 V down to a control voltage of 120 V. Assuming the two primary windings are incorrectly connected in series instead of parallel what effect would this have on the control circuit?
