Why transformer do not operate with DC?

Transformer works with varying flux. DC won't create it. Only AC produce varying flux.


Why transformer works on ac not dc give two reasons?

A transformer requires a changing input to generate an output.


Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?

A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.


How does a DC transformer work?

transformer cannot be worked on DC because as the dc is constant there will be no change of flux & may lead to shot circuit.


Who will not operate on DC?

Transformer


How do you make ac into DC in a ac transformer?

You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater


Can you use transformer for DC supply?

No. Only Transformer could not be used for DC supply.If yoy need to have DC out put,then rectifier unit required .


If DC is applied to the primary of a transformer is there any current in the secondary and if there is then whether ac or DC?

first, understand that a transformer is an AC DEVICE. it wont work on dc...


Why transformer cannot work on dc voltage?

In DC, flow of current is controlled by resistance only where as in AC it is done by Impedance which is combination of Resistance , inductive and capacitive reactances.Reasons:In transformers resistance of the transformer's core windings are very low due to which if you will connect transformer across DC supply then it will draw a heavy current which will burn out is winding and it may damage the equipment too.Transformers works of the principal of Induction (Mutual/Self) that is possible in AC only because in DC there is no induction therefore even if transformer's windings anyhow withstand with DC there will be no voltage output at output terminals of the transformer, therefore it is useless to connect transformer on DC supply.


What happens if dc supply is connected to incomer of transformer?

If a DC supply is connected to the incomer of a transformer, you effectively have a short circuit, because the DC impedance of a transformer (actually, any inductor) is quite low. You will blow something.


Why transformer can not be used in dc supply?

The transformer cannot be used in the DC supply because it keeps on alternating its current, whereas the DC supply current should be constant.


Why the windings burn when transformer is operated in DC?

Transformers are not intended to be operated in DC. DC does not provide the continuously fluctuating current that a transformer requires in order to function. On DC, a transformer will act as a transient mode inductor, and settle out to a high current state, destroying itself.
