Wires carrying high voltages in a transmitter should be well insulated to avoid

Correct Answer
A.
short circuits
B.
overheating
C.
over modulation
D.
SWR effects

ZLB1003

Never work on any Mains appliance unless you are competent to do so. Before working on an appliance that uses mains supply, always turn the power off and remove the plug from the outlet. In a high power transmitter, high voltages are present. The wires are well insulated to avoid short circuits within the amplifier or transmitter.

reduces electrical interference from the circuit
Correct Answer
B.
removes power to the circuit when the phase and neutral currents are not equal
C.
removes power to the circuit when the current in the phase wire equals the current in the earth wire
D.
limits the power provided to the circuit
