D Decrease in power consumption.

Question 3

To which winding is voltage applied from an external source in the case of field flashing (initial excitation) of a brushless generator?

A To the exciter field winding.

B To the generator field winding.

C To the exciter stator winding.

D To the generator stator winding.

Question 4

Can a transformer be connected in reverse (primary and secondary windings swapped)?

A Yes, but only if it is rated for such load and voltage.

B No, because the direction of current will change.

C Yes, but only for transformers with a power rating of less than 1 kW.

D No, this will lead to core saturation.
