Not usually. Transformers require a varying magnetic field, which is induced by AC voltage.
No. Only Transformer could not be used for DC supply.If yoy need to have DC out put,then rectifier unit required .
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.
The transformer cannot be used in the DC supply because it keeps on alternating its current, whereas the DC supply current should be constant.
to have transformer action there should be an alternating magnetic flux.but dc supply cannot produce alternating flux.
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.
Depends on use,supply,AC,DC .Voltage,transformer ???
hthhrhr
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...........
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.
It will get core saturation
You need alternating current for a transformer, for DC you would have to interrupt the power supply to make it effectively DC pulses.
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.
