I can only answer this from an actual problem I had in relation to the question.

20-60VA 12V transformer supplying 2x20W lamps,both lamps had blown,so I bought 2x10W replacement lamps.

On replacing the lamps,when I fitted the first and tried to power up,the lamp glowed briefly,then went out.

It was only when I fitted the second lamp that both fittings lit up continuously,so in brief,the answer to the question is................the load won't operate.

Answer

The power rating of a load should never exceed the volt ampere rating of the transformer, otherwise the resulting load current may overheat the transformer. So the situation you describe is perfectly normal.

The reason for the problem encountered by the writer of the original answer is not clear. A 60-V.A transformer should supply two 20-W lamps without any difficulty whatsoever. I suspect that the problem had nothing to do with the power rating of the lamps vs that of the transformer, and more to do with the voltage. For example, was the secondary voltage of the transformer higherthan the rated voltages of the lamps? If so, then the lamps would have burnt out.

The starter of the transformer will not engage with the fuse.there is no chance for the transformer to be alive if there is not enough power to wake up.its quite complicating to write these answers as you now I'm a robot.my name is nanobot.im a humanoid robot

What will happen to the transformer if double the rated voltage is applied to the winding during the open circuit test?

no voltage will be induced on the secondary side of the motor as the windings will become saturated.


What happen if you apply triangular input to transformer?

there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils


What happens when a transformer is operated at no load with high voltage?

It depends on how much voltage you have applied. If you apply rated voltage nothing happens only core losses will be there on the transformer nothing will happen apart from that. If you go on increase the voltage core losses will increase and transformer will get heated up. After attaining the breakdown voltage of insulation, insulation in the primary and secondary will fail and the coils will get short circuited then the coils will burn.


When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?

Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.


How does the voltage applied to a circuit affect the current flowing through the wire?

Voltage is equal to the Current multiplied by the Resistance.Without changing the resistance, increasing the applied voltage in a circuit will increase current flow. There is a simple, direct relationship between voltage and current. Double the voltage, twice the current will flow. Triple the voltage, and the current will triple. As voltage (E) equals current (I) times resistance (R), when resistance is fixed, what happens to voltage will happen to current.

What happen if the secondary side of step down transformer supply a bigger voltage?

it would be called a step up transformer


What happen to voltage when a transformer is stepped up and stepped down?

A step up transformer increases the applied voltage. A step down transformer decreases or lowers the applied voltage. An example of step up transformers are the transformers (known as fly-backs) in old CRTs that stepped up voltage from 110 Volts to 25,000 volts. An example of step down transformers are the power bricks for laptops or any power adapter that step down the voltage from 110 volts to 12 volts, 9 volts or whatever is needed for your device. I must add that most (not all) power adapters also convert AC to DC.

What will happen in a circuit if the voltage does not change but the resistance in the circuit increases?

If the resistance increases, while the voltage stays the same, current will decrease. Current = voltage divided by resistance


What will happen if a piece of string is being used to complete a close circuit?

The piece of string will act as an insulator. Insulators will not carry circuit current when a voltage source is applied across it. Therefore nothing will happen if a piece of string is used to complete an electrical circuit.
