Series Transformers
2. Q: If we do not replace a burnt out bulb for a few weeks, will the open circuited secondary hurt the transformer?
A: No. Series transformers are designed to accept any load, from open circuit to short circuit, without damage. If you wish to prevent the distortion of primary waveform caused by an open circuit transformer, a shorting plug is available.
