What is the low side rating for a transformer with secondary internal connections?

The low side rating of a transformer refers to the secondary voltage output that is typically utilized in residential or light commercial applications. In the scenario described, the association of a low side rating with 120/240 indicates a configuration where the transformer is capable of providing two different voltage levels—120 volts and 240 volts.

This setup is standard for many common transformer applications, where 120 volts is used for standard household appliances and lighting, and 240 volts is utilized for larger devices such as dryers and ovens. The 120/240 rating clearly communicates the available voltages and allows users to make informed decisions regarding electrical connections and load management within their facilities.

The other choices present varying configurations or voltages that do not align with common low voltage ratings for transformers typically encountered in residential settings. Understanding the significance of the low side rating helps align the appropriate transformer functionality with electrical needs in both installation and operational contexts.
