I should know this but can't seem to figure it out. If one were to look at a schematic of a transformer's primary you would see that only the windings are what lies between the ungrounded conductors. Is there that much resistance in the windings that would keep the current down in order to keep the ocp from opening as soon as one is energized? Is it like in a motor where the cemf keeps the current from going through the roof during operation? That can't be though as there are no moving parts in a transformer. What's wrong with my thinking?
