What happened if you connect 230V to secondary of transformer whose voltage rating is 230V to 18V?

if you drove the 18V winding with 230V the transformer would burn out, if it didn't catch fire first

What type of voltage is passed trough a transformer?
Voltage doesn't 'pass through' anything! Voltage is another word for 'potential difference', and is measured between two points in a circuit. For a transformer to work, it's necessary to apply an a.c. voltage across the transformer's primary terminals.
What is the voltage output if the transformer is connected backwards?
It doesn't really matter which way around you use a transformer, the primary winding is ALWAYS whichever winding you connect to the supply, and the secondary winding is ALWAYS whichever winding you connect to the load. For either connection, the turns ratio will ALWAYS equal the voltage ratio for an ideal transformer (or close enough for a real transformer).
How does a buck-boost transformer work?
A Buck Boost transformer is an auto transformer with a small primary to secondary voltage difference. It effectively adds or subtracts a few windings to the secondary to increase or decrease voltage. Here is an example: Say I have a 110 v and want 120 v; I have an auto transformer with 120 windings, tapped at 110 and 120. If I connect the 110 connection to my incoming 110v line, the voltage at the 120 tap will be 120v.
Is it necessary to connect a fuse at the secondary side of a current transformer?
Definitely NOT! An open circuit (across a melted fuse for example) on the secondary side of a current transformer is subject to a dangerously-high voltage, so a fuse must not be fitted. The secondary side of a CT must never be open circuited.
What is the current of a 45 kva transformer?
Presumably, you are asking what is the rated secondary current for a 45 kV.A (not 'kva') transformer? The answer depends on its rated secondary voltage. To obtain the rated secondary current, you divide the (apparent) power rating by its secondary rated voltage.
What are the output voltage and current of a transformer determined by?
The secondary (output) voltage is determined by the primary voltage and the turns ratio of the transformer. The secondary current is determined by the secondary voltage and the load resistance.
How to differentiate 110v or 220 transformers?
The way to identify any transformer is to look at the the transformers nameplate. The primary side will be designated H1 to H4. This is the primary side and the voltage will be stated as to the voltage to connect to. The secondary side will be designated X1 to X4. This is the secondary side and the voltage will be stated as to the voltage it will be transformer to.
What is the voltage that is provided by the transformer is called the?
Secondary voltage.
What type of voltage is passed trough a transformer?

How do you calculate transformer voltage ratio test?
Secondary voltage / primary voltage
Can infinite voltage be given at transformer primary?
no, infinite voltage can't be given to the primary of the transformer....if the secondary is connected to the load, then over voltage will damage the load, if secondary is open circuited, then the infinite voltage can breakdown the transformer internal insulation,
If a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings and the secondary voltage is 25 what is the primary voltage?
Transformer step-up/step-down voltage is turns-ratio, so if a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings (a turns-ratio of 1 to 5) and the secondary voltage is 25, then is the primary voltage is 5.
What do we call the voltage that is provided by a transformer?
This is the transformed voltage, but it might also be identified as the secondary voltage as it is taken from the secondary winding.
What is the voltage output if the transformer is connected backwards?
It doesn't really matter which way around you use a transformer, the primary winding is ALWAYS whichever winding you connect to the supply, and the secondary winding is ALWAYS whichever winding you connect to the load. For either connection, the turns ratio will ALWAYS equal the voltage ratio for an ideal transformer (or close enough for a real transformer).
Is there more current in the primary or secondary winding of a transformer?
The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', describe how a transformer is connected and his nothing to do with which is the lower- and higher-voltage winding.The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. So, for astep-up transformer, the secondary winding is the higher voltage winding, whereas for a step-down transformer, the secondary winding is the lower voltage winding.For a loaded transformer, i.e. a transformer whose secondary is supplying a load, the higher-voltage winding carries the smaller current, while the lower-voltage winding carries the higher current.
What happens to the current as the voltage is increased by the step up transformer?
Compare a transformer to a balancing act. Both side need to remain equal.The primary side of the transformer is the supply side and the load is connected to the secondary side of the transformer.The load governs the current of the secondary side of the transformer and the voltage of the secondary side must match the voltage that the load required to operate.The ratio of the transformer will determine what the voltage of the secondary side is as compared to the voltage that has to be applied to the primary.The current of a step up transformer will be higher on the primary side that that of the secondary.Apply voltage and current to this concept and you will see that the transformer will remain balanced.The size of the transformer is always calculated from the secondary side of the transformer and the value is written in VA or KVA where V = voltage and A = amperage. Power factor is also taken into consideration when calculating the size of the transformer to be used.
What are the voaltg in isolation transformer?
The function of an isolation transformer is to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, without changing the voltage levels. So, its secondary voltage will be the same as the primary voltage.
