Are the primary and secondary of a transformer having same thickness.why?

Unless the transformer is an isolation transformer, whose primary and secondary voltages are the same, the cross-sectional area of the primary and secondary winding conductors are normally different.
The higher-voltage winding has a smaller current flowing through it than the lower-voltage winding when the transformer is loaded. So the higher-voltage winding is manufactured using a conductor with a smaller cross-sectional area, therefore a smaller diameter.

What is the application of transformers having both primary and secondary voltage same?
When the primary and secondary voltages are the same the transformer is being used for isolation. The secondary side will have galvanic isolation from the primary side. The purpose of the is to protect secondary load if a fault occurs on the primary side. The impedance of the transformer will limit the fault current on the secondary which should save equipment.
What are the primary winding and secondary winding of a transformer?
The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary' are unrelated to voltage levels.
How the secondary voltage in transformer is stepped up?
The secondary voltage in a transformer is stepped up by having more turns in the secondary coil compared to the primary coil. This creates a higher electromagnetic induction which leads to a higher output voltage. The ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil determines the degree of voltage stepping up.
What are the limitations of power supply?
Power limitation transformer circuit structure of power supply, including: an electromagnetic interference filter unit, a rectifying unit, a power factor correction section, a transformer having a primary input terminal and secondary input terminal, a pulse controlling unit connected with the secondary input terminal of the transformer, a primary power limitation circuit and at least one secondary power limitation circuit, an output current controlling unit and an output voltage controlling unit. The input terminal of the output current controlling unit is connected with the secondary output terminal of the transformer. The primary output terminal and secondary output terminal of the output current controlling unit are respectively serially connected with the primary and secondary power limitation circuits. The input terminal of the output voltage controlling unit is connected with the secondary output terminal of the transformer. The output terminal of the output voltage controlling unit is connected with the secondary power limitation circuit for controlling the magnitude of the voltage and current of the primary and secondary power limitation circuits so as to control the output power.
Why transformer does not rotate like induction motor Inspite both having same principle?
because transformer has primary and secondary windings only but in motor has stator has two windings and rotorAnswerIt could be something to do with the part that there are no moving parts!
What is the current in 1KVA Transformer?
Tis question is incompleet.1000 va =1 kva.This is the power capacity of transformer. A transformer having 2 currents Primary current and secondary current . for that we required both voltage. Simply we can calculate by a formula Voltage x Current x 0.8(power factor)=1000.
What is vector group Ynyn0 in transformer?
it is a star to star connected transformer. It having two neutrals. One is at Primary side and another is at secondary side to balance the loads. Y= Primary star connection N=Primary Neutral y=secondary star connection n=secondary neutral and 0=No phase shift between primary and secondary. So,finally this meaning is star to star connected with two neutrals and zero phase displacement. Please refer below i detailed some notations to calculate any other vector groups D= Primary Delta connection d=Secondary Delta connection a=Auto transformer Z=Zig zig connection 11=30 degrees phase shift b/w primary & secondary 1= 30 degrees phase shift b/w primary & secondary 1) Consider capital letters for Primary notations 2) Consider small letters for secondary notations 3) Consider Clock reference at 12.00 for calculation of degrees I think this procedure is very useful to calculate for other vector groups.
Differentiate delta to delta connection of the transformer to delta to Y connection?
In delta to delta there will be no ground on both primary and secondary sides. Leave the primary side but we take care on secondary side. If there any fault occurs on the secondary then there will be unbalanced voltages between the phases results in the flow of current through the secondary windings so only we are using star on the secondary side while having neutral to prevent such a current flow.
Isolating transformer theory?
Transformers use magnetic induction between 2 coils of wire to produce a voltage in the secondary winding. Typically the main purpose of a transformer is to step up or down the voltage by having differing number of windings between the primary and secondary coils. A secondary effect is to keep the 2 systems electrically isolated from eachother. If one of the phases becomes grounded, the ground is only seen on the portion of the system downstream of the transformer, thus increasing relibability.
How tertiary winding of power transformer acts as stabilizing winding?
in star-star neutral transformer at unbalanced load condition zerosequnce current will be flows in secondary side but this current can not be balanced by primary side because its not having neutral to circulate zerosequence current.due to this unbalance voltage will appeared in primary side but the tertiary delta winding allows circulate the zerosequence current so the primary voltage will get stabilized.
Why no load current in a transformer is high?
A transformer's 'no load' current is not 'high'. On the contrary, it is zero!'No load' means that there is nothing connected to the secondary (output) of the transformer -i.e. it is an open circuit. So a transformer's secondary 'no load' current is zero! The primary current still has to provide a magnetising current, but that current will be very small.Don't forget, a 'light load' means little current is drawn, so the load must have a high resistance; a 'heavy load' means lots of current is drawn, so the load must have a low resistance.
What is the secondry side of distibution transformer?
There's very little point in having a distribution transformer if its secondary winding isn't connected to a load! So, to answer your question, a 'secondary system' (by which you, presumably, mean 'load'), isn't 'essential' to a distribution transformer, it could just sit there doing nothing!
