True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

Magnetic control systems generally operate on 240 volts.
 

 2. 

Most control transformers are made with one primary winding and two secondary windings.
 

 3. 

Control transformers generally have screw terminals connected to the primary and secondary leads.
 

 4. 

Many industries prefer to ground the control system and it is a very common practice.
 

 5. 

Protection can be placed on the primary or secondary side of the control transformer.
 

Completion
Complete each statement.
 

 6. 

There is a turns ratio of ____________________ between each primary winding and the secondary winding.
 

 

 7. 

When one side of the secondary winding of a control transformer is grounded, the control system is referred to as a(n) ____________________ system.
 

 

 8. 

When one side of the control transformer is not grounded, it is generally referred to as a(n) ____________________ system.
 

 

 9. 

High impedance voltmeters can indicate some amount of voltage caused by the capacitance of the ground and induced voltage produced by surrounding magnetic fields. These are generally referred to as ____________________ voltages.
 

 

 10. 

Control transformers are generally protected by fuses or ____________________.
