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.
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.
Can a transformer work using dc?
no. because if we use dc source for transformer there will be no production of energy for the secondary side since they are mutually conducted, as the transformer is a static device which can transmite the energy from one circuit to other with out changing the frequency and also there is no movement of the conductors. in order to produce the emf there should be either conductor movement or moving flux so the dc source will produce constant field flux hence there is no production of energy in the secondary side.
Can you step up or step down the DC voltage by a transformer?
You need alternating current for a transformer, for DC you would have to interrupt the power supply to make it effectively DC pulses.
How dc supply is given to transformer used in push pull amplifiers?
The dc is supplied via a centre-tap on the transformer. This ensures zero dc net flux in the transformer core, which enables a much smaller core to be used.
Do pulse transformer is work on dc supply?
hthhrhr
Why doesn't transformer work on a DC supply?
to have transformer action there should be an alternating magnetic flux.but dc supply cannot produce alternating flux.
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 does a transformer only work for AC supply and not DC supply?
A transformer makes and collapses a magnetic Field inside 60 times a second for home power in North America, 50 times a second in Europe. The building and collapsing of a magnetic field "Induces" a voltage in another transformer winding. DC current only creates a stable magnetic field and this will not create or induce voltage in the other winding. Normally covered in grade 5 science where I live.
What happens if a dc supply is given to a transformer under no load?
when dc supply is given to transformer at primary winding , the output at secondary winding will be zero.Because to induce voltage ,countnie changing flux is required ,that can not be obtained from dc supply...........
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 Transformer on a DC circuit?
Trsansformers work on mutual induction principle caused by the changing magnetic field. Since there is no changing magnetic field i.e there is no "+" and "-" cycle in DC source supply so transformer cant work on a DC source. Its core will become permanent magnet.
What will happen if transformer are connected to dc supply?
It will get core saturation
What does filter do in a transformer?
A transformer does not use a filter. You may be asking about the use of a filter in a power supply. A power supply uses a filter to change pulsating DC from the rectifier into smooth DC for the circuits that the power supply powers.
