Question
A high tension (HT) supply of, say, 6 kV must have a very large internal resistance. Why?
Solution
In order to prohibit the current from exceeding the safety limit, a high tension supply must have a very large internal resistance. If the internal resistance is not large, then the current drawn can exceed the safety limits in case of a short circuit.
