The secondary circuit in automotive systems primarily refers to the components and wiring that support the primary functions of the vehicle's electrical system, such as lighting, infotainment, and other accessories. It typically includes fuses, relays, and connectors that distribute power from the battery and alternator to various electrical devices. This circuit ensures that the primary systems, like the ignition and engine management, operate efficiently while also providing power to additional features, enhancing overall vehicle functionality and safety.
Current transformers produce a ratio of primary current in the secondary. If the secondary of a CT is open circuited, and primary current is flowing, the CT will try to push that same ratio of current through the secondary open circuit. This causes secondary voltage to climb until it the secondary open circuit flashes over. This can often damage the CT.
I am assuming the question is about the power / distribution transformer and not the current transformer. The primary current is a function of load connected on secondary. With the open secondary, there is no load, no current, it is open circuit. Hence no primary current. However there is always some small amount of no load current in the primary winding.
Yes you can use both. They are also acutally the easiest way to find a short in an automotive circuit.

When the secondary of a transformer experiences a sudden short circuit, it causes a drastic increase in current flow through the secondary winding. This results in a significant drop in secondary voltage due to the short circuit conditions. As a consequence, the primary winding will also experience a corresponding increase in current, which can lead to overheating and potential damage to the transformer if protective measures are not in place. The transformer's ability to handle this situation depends on its design and the effectiveness of protective devices such as fuses or circuit breakers.
To electrically isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, without changing the voltage.
The coil spring provides suspension and absorbs shock.
The function of an isolation transformer is to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, without changing the voltage levels. So, its secondary voltage will be the same as the primary voltage.
Same as any fuse in an electrical system- to protect components in the electrical system from damage in an overload or short circuit.
If the primary circuit is closed, the current will flow through the primary coil, inducing a magnetic field. This magnetic field will in turn induce a current in the secondary coil, allowing for the transfer of energy from the primary to the secondary circuit.
Most automotive circuit breakers reset themselves after they cool off. Some bigger trucks use circuit breakers that are reset manually. They have a button you push in to reset the breaker after it has cooled off.
A secondary current of 0 would suggest to me that the secondary circuit is open. A normally operating circuit with zero current flow would be very unusual. No load in secondary circuit. No secondary current can also be attributed to the primary power source open or an open primary winding.
it's function is to supply energy(electric)
The three circuits of a magneto are the primary circuit, secondary circuit, and charging circuit. The primary circuit controls the generation of an electrical current, the secondary circuit amplifies the voltage output, and the charging circuit ensures the magneto stays charged for optimal performance.
