A constant-current regulator must never be operated with an open-circuit secondary. However, a short circuit, even a bolted short, on a secondary will have no immediate adverse effects if a reasonable percentage of the load remains energized.
b.Insulating transformers. Insulating transformers isolate the medium-voltage of a series circuit from the wiring and fixtures. In addition, they are sometimes used to obtain higher or lower current for lamps having a different ampere rating, or constant voltage for multiple lamps connected to a series circuit. They are sometimes referred to as isolating transformers. Unless the case and one secondary conductor are grounded, the secondary must be treated as a medium-voltage circuit:
