Primary winding of a transformer _______

A)
Cannot be determined
B)
Is always a low voltage winding
C)
Is always a high voltage winding
D)
Could either be a low voltage or high voltage winding

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Is always a high voltage winding


Explanation : Primary winding used in a transformer, can be at higher or lower voltage potential, depending on the number of turns with secondary winding. For step up and step-down transformers primary winding will be at lower and higher potential respectively.
