Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

23. Core losses are _____ loss and _____ - _____ loss.






24. To prevent injury to personnel when servicing any equipment connected to a current transformer - the secondary winding must be ____ - _____.






25. The input side that attaches to the AC supply it recieves the electrical energy or incoming voltage






26. The total numbre of lines or force issuing from a pole. (north or south)






27. This type of transformer power loss is caused by the continually changing AC current movement which constantly magnetizes/demagnetizes/re-magnetizes






28. The shape of the core of the transformer ensures a ______________ for the magnetic flux with maximum concentration within the core and minimum leakage of the air






29. Divergence of the magnetic field causes this






30. The terminals of the low voltage winding are marked _____.
