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.

Why transformer action can take place in DC circuit?

Not clear what your question is. First of all, circuits are not classified as DC and AC. Circuits are what they are, and you can apply either AC or DC to any circuit. However, considering a circuit that was designed only for use with DC applied. Still your question is unclear. What is transformer action? "Transformer Action" happens in a transformer.


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.


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.


What device can be used to increase current in a DC circuit?

Transformer or instrument transformer. It can increase and decrease current output.


Can a step down transformer increase current in a DC circuit?

Transformers only work with alternating currents. So the answer is Yes, BUT it would have to be a DC Pulsing circuit. using flip flop circuit or a 555 circuit or chop circuit.


In D.C supply the transformer is not connected why?

In a DC power supply a transformer is connected. The only time there would be no transformer used would be if the DC voltage wanted was 120 VDC. The transformer in the power supply is connected to 120 VAC on the primary side and the secondary side of the transformer is connected to either a half wave or a full wave diode bridge. The voltage out of the diode bridge will be the same output voltage potential as the transformer's secondary voltage but it will be a DC (Direct Current) potential.Reading the question in another way, transformers are not connected in a DC circuit. The reason being is that the transformer operates on a collapsing magnetic field. This field induces a voltage into the secondary side of the transformer. Since the DC circuit does not operate on the principle of a collapsing field except when the circuit is opened, the transformer would not operate as a transformer should..


WHAT STOPS a transformer windings FROM BEING A short circuit?

The transformer winding is a short circuit to DC. But for AC, the impedance of thecoiled winding and the magnetic coupling to another winding have the same effecton AC as resistance has in a DC circuit. That's why transformers don't work withDC, and are always operated with AC.AnswerIf you are querying why there are no short circuits between individual turns, it is because the windings are insulated not bare.


Why transformer action takes place in a DC circuit?

A: A transformer is a PASSIVE ac component applying dc to it the wires resistance would be the only limiter for current flow. Usually a common transformer will burn up fast or slowly depends on power applied


What is the maximum DC voltage you could expect to obtain from a transformer with an 18V rms secondary using a full rectifier circuit with a filter capacitor?

25.46V assuming output of transformer is pure sinewave.


Why transformer always use in ac not in dc?

the dc current would hit an open circuit because of the nature of a transformer, however ac circuits are different because the electrons go back and forth not just one way, and thus charge can still be transfered


How to removed a dc offset from the output of a frequency generator connected to a test circuit?

Run the test signal through a small isolation transformer.
