Does a red warning light on a CSP transformer indicate an existing overcurrent?

A red warning light on a CSP (Capacitor Start-Run) transformer typically does not indicate that an overcurrent exists at that moment. Instead, it may signal other issues or conditions, such as a fault in the circuit or potential safety hazards. The presence of the red light can indicate that the transformer requires attention due to abnormal conditions, but it does not confirm that an overcurrent is currently present in the system.

Understanding the operation of electrical systems, especially transformers, requires knowledge of how indicators function. Red warning lights are generally alarms for operators to take corrective action or investigate further, rather than direct measurements of current conditions. Therefore, correctly interpreting what the red light means is crucial in ensuring the safe operation of electrical equipment.
