Why does your 24 volts transformer get hot then burn out?

A transformer gets hot if it is run at excessive voltage or excessive current. Either of those two would cause it to overheat. <<>> It sounds like the load on the secondary is greater that what the transformer can supply. A transformer is wound for a specific amperage output at a specific voltage. This is stated on the transformer as a VA or in larger transformers as KVA. If you divide the 24 volts into the VA listed on the transformer you will get the maximum amperage value of the transformer. If the device that you are connecting to the transformer is greater in amperage draw that what the transformer can supply, this will cause the heating effect and if left connected eventually burn the transformer out. A fuse should be installed in the secondary 24 volt output, rated at the maximum output of the transformer. This will limit the transformer to its manufacturer's recommended current output.


What will happen to the transformer if the rated voltage is applied to the winding during short circuit test?

the winding would burn....


How current transformer get burn when open circuit happens?

Because of fire


Why does the primary side of a step down transformer burn out and not the secondary of a 480V to 240V transformer?

Sounds like the wrong size fuse protection was used. The transformer should be protected to its kva capacity.

Can you hook up a 250 volt 2.5 amp plug to a 1500 watt transformer?

What has to be taken into account is what the primary and secondary voltages of the transformer are. The second thing to consider is whether the transformer is a step up or step down transformer. Just putting 250 volts on a transformer could burn the windings if the transformer is not the correct voltage.


What happens when a transformer is operated at no load with high voltage?

It depends on how much voltage you have applied. If you apply rated voltage nothing happens only core losses will be there on the transformer nothing will happen apart from that. If you go on increase the voltage core losses will increase and transformer will get heated up. After attaining the breakdown voltage of insulation, insulation in the primary and secondary will fail and the coils will get short circuited then the coils will burn.


How many amps does a 12 volt 600 watt transformer use at 120 volts?

A transformer does not use, it transforms voltage from one value to another. The output amperage is governed by the connected load. If the load wattage is higher than the wattage rating of the transformer then either the primary or secondary fuse will blow or the transformer will burn up if the fusing is of the wrong sizing. The maximum primary amperage can be found by using the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts, A = W/E = 600/120 = 5 amps. The same equation is used for the calculating the maximum secondary amperage, A = W/E = 600/12 = 50 amps.


What happens when an alternating potential difference is applied across a primary coil of a transformer?

burn or burst


If you have a 1000kva transformer than can you work on that transformer?

No. From what you're saying you're taking the input to the 2kV transformer in a microwave and replacing it with a 1MW input. The transformer will burn in milliseconds of power. <<>> The installation and maintenance of a 1000 KVA transformer can be worked on in a de energized state. To do so live could be extremely dangerous at any voltage.
