Hi everyone,
I am looking at safety issues concerning transformers.
Basic question, I know, but other than an open circuit due to a
winding burnout, or maybe a shorted turn, how else can a transformer
fail?
Is it likely/possible that the primary voltage of a mains step-down
transformer can appear on the secondary due to some fault?
I have a transformer that has an oval core encapsulated in plasic with
the primary on one side of the core and the secondary on the opposite
side. Other than a simple open or shorted turn, the possibility of
mains voltage getting to the secondary must be impossible due to the
physical separation, right?
Comments gratefully received with thanks.
