TL;DR
When the voltage rises on the primary what happens to the secondary?
Hello,

If we have a pole top mounted distribution step down transformer for residential use what happens to the voltage on the secondary side if the primary side voltage increase?

Thank you

It increases proportionally.

I guess it depends on how much that primary side voltage increases... :wink:
