So, Can someone break this down for me.
Situation:
You have a single phase 480V to ??? transformer. This transformer is for a resistance welder. You remove one leg on the primary side of the transformer, but the other leg is still attached and is hot. On the secondary side. There is 66V to Ground. There is no ground involved on the transformer but the rest of the machine is grounded. The hot leg is straight from the incoming to the transformer. The SCR for the other leg is off when checked.
Question:
Is this 66V to ground hazardous?
Thoughts:
My initial thoughts were yes. Thought was if you have a difference in voltage and continuity then you get current flow. But after thinking about it. If you don't have any current flow in the primary side of the transformer. Would you be able to move current in the secondary side?
