The limiting feature of a transformer is the thermal breakdown of the insulating varnish on the wire. Once this breaks down, some of the windings will short circuit, which will lead to rapid breakdown of the transformer.
For small high voltage Transformers, the windings are carefully laid down with insulating foils between adjacent windings so as to limit dielectric breakdown.

What is a set-up transformer?
it is type of transformer which is used to step up the voltage from low to high value in order to make it applicable for high rated appliances. asha not only for high rated appliances but also for transmission...ashu
What will happen you f the rated power of transformer is changed?
You cannot 'change' the 'rated power' of a transformer except by changing the transformer for another one. You can, though, operate the transformer below its rated power or, for short periods of time, operate the transformer aboveits rated power.
Why transformer rated kva?
The correct symbol for kilovolt amperes is 'kV.A, not kva. A volt ampere is the product of the transformer's secondary rated voltage and its rated current. It is not rated in watts, because the transformer designer has no idea what sort of load is to be applied to the transformer, and it is the load that determines the amount of watts, not the transformer.
Can i use 12v -0-12v to 230v step up transformer to get more voltages let say 2000v?
If you exceed the rated voltage of your transformer, there is a high possibility that its insulation will break down and you will ruin that transformer.
How do you calculate MVA rating of power transformer?
The product of the secondary rated current and the secondary rated voltage will give you the rated V.A of the transformer.
What is current carrying for 2200kVA transformer?
Presumably you are asking about the rated secondary current of a transformer rated at 2200 kV.A?This depends on the rated secondary voltage. You divide the rated apparent power of the transformer by the rated secondary voltage.Of course, the actual current depends on the load.
What is meant by rated voltage rated current and rated power of a transformer?
The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.
What is kva rating of single phase transformer?
This is the rated output of the transformer, obtained by multiplying the rated secondary voltage by the rated secondary current. And it's 'kV.A', not 'kva'.
Why open circuit test is done on the transformer with low voltage side shorted?
The supply is given on the high voltage side of transformer because the supply voltage required to circulate rated current through the transformer is usually very small So energy is saved.
What is the standard output current of a transformer when connected to an ac?
There is no 'standard' output current from a transformer. The secondary (output) current depends on the load, and should not exceed the rated secondary current. To find the rated secondary current, you divide the transformer's rated volt amperes by the rated secondary voltage. The above cited answer need more descriptive ; a) V/Z = I, b) V/Z = I + Magnetizing current of the transformer taken from Primary side of the transformer.
Why transformer is rated inkva?
Because it's the product of the transformer's rated secondary voltage and its rated secondary current. The product of voltage and current, in a.c., is the volt ampere.Incidentally, it's 'kV.A', not 'kva'.
If a centre tap transformer rated as 12V-0-12V 1Athen what will be the secondary current of that perticular transformer?
The output voltage of a transformer is not connected to the maximum rated current. You state that the transformer is rated at 12-0-12 at a current of 1A, therefore the maximum (rated) current on the secondary would be 1A. Normally, transformers are rated in VA (volt amps) which is simply voltage x current, the voltage across the two 12v terminals would be 12+12 volts, making the rating of the transformer 24VA.
