Four ideal step-down transformers are being evaluated for use in a spot-welding machine that requires a high secondary current. The primary coil of each transformer is connected to a 230 V AC mains supply protected by a 13.0 A fuse.

The table below shows the number of turns on the primary and secondary coils of each transformer:
