basically a matter of the magnetizing inductive reactance which is inversely proportional to frequency. You want to keep the magnetizing current low to minimize power loss and avoid saturating the core. The higher the frequency, the lower the required inductance for a given inductive reactance and magnetizing current, thus the smaller the required core and/or number of turns on the windings.
Magnetizing current is a normal parasitic byproduct of the transformer inductance and the applied voltage level and frequency. The amount of power that can be transferred through a transformer is usually limited by the transformer winding resistances and is unrelated to the magnetizing current. Thus core size goes up at higher power levels due to larger required wire size, not due to any core limitations.

What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?
Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.
Does a transformer changes the frequency of incoming supply?
Yes the transformer effects the incoming frequency supply. This frequency is dependent on the core lamination of the transformer the weightier the core lamination the lesser will be the frequency we get and vice verse..
Why frequency is constant in a single phase transformer?
a transformer or inductor or capacitor does not change frequency frequency is controlled at the generating station with the speed of the motor or turbine the number of phases will not make a difference an inductor or capacitor can shift phase up to 90 degrees you can make 3 phase power from single phase power with inductors capacitors and transformers
How do you reduce a 230v ac transformer to produce 140v ac?
By using step-down transformer
What are three requirement for connecting the transformer in paralle?
Transformer capacity (kvA) shall be identical, Both transformer impedance, secondary voltage and frequency shall be identical.
Why transformer frequency is constant?
In transformer there is no rotating part.so frequency constant.
What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?
Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.
Why frequency remains constant in transformer?
First we know that transformer is a statical electrical device that transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another circuit with out change its frequency .....it may be voltage or current is change simultaneosuly or separately .... and point is why does not change the frequency in the transformer because the there is no moving part in transformer....As we know that frequency is depends upon the rotation....
How input frequency to the transformer influences its physical dimension when using a step down transformer is used using as as a step-up transformer?
In general, the lower the frequency of operation, the more weight must be added to the core laminations to avoid magnetic field saturation. This increases the size and weight of the transformer as the frequency decreases.
The basic function of a transformer is to change?
The basic function of a transformer is to change voltage levels.
Does a transformer changes the frequency of incoming supply?
Yes the transformer effects the incoming frequency supply. This frequency is dependent on the core lamination of the transformer the weightier the core lamination the lesser will be the frequency we get and vice verse..
What happen if you give square wave instead of sine wave to the transformer?
If a square wave is used instead of a sine wave in a transformer, the output power will operate at a different frequency. This will produces varying levels of voltage and amperage based on the wave.
What is the function of intermediate frequency transformer?
intermediate frequency transformer (ift) acts as a band selective n/w. the ift which is 455 khz is then given to IF amplifiers which is then given to detector.
Can you use a transformer to convert modified sine wave to pure sine wave?
we cannot use transformer because transformer cannot change frequency . . .
What happen if 440V is connected to 220V transformer?
If the frequency is kept the same, you will overexcite the transformer, and it will draw excessive current (similar to inrush currents). Insulation tests are performed on transformers above nominal voltage, but they are performed at higher than rated frequency to keep the volts per hertz roughly equal to prevent overexciting the core.
What will happen if you pass AC current through a transformer?
If the transformer was designed for the specific frequency in use, it will step up or down voltage and current as it was designed to do. Transformers transform how power "looks" by increasing and decreasing voltage and current, while keeping power output equivalent to input (if you ignore the transformer losses).
Why frequency is constant in a single phase transformer?
a transformer or inductor or capacitor does not change frequency frequency is controlled at the generating station with the speed of the motor or turbine the number of phases will not make a difference an inductor or capacitor can shift phase up to 90 degrees you can make 3 phase power from single phase power with inductors capacitors and transformers
