It's a transformer that operates with AC current in and out. It's an ordinary transformer, with the term "static" used to differentiate it from rotating Transformers, such as motor-generator sets.

transformer is a static device hence it needs form factor.


Why trasformer is static device?

b'coz transformer is not a moving parts so it works on the princeple of mutual induction


What is the operation of a transformer?

A transformer is a static device which is used to step up or step down the voltage in a powered circuit.


How do you explain about transformer?

A Transformer is a static device which is used to step up(or)step down the voltage in a transforming conductor


What is the principle of transformer working Explain the working principle of transformer on no load?

Transformer is a static electrical device used to step up or step down the voltage with the help of primary and secondary windings.


Is transformer is a device?

Can we use transformer as a generator?

No. Transformer essentially can step up or step down voltage or provide same voltage across the secondary side. It can not generate voltage on its own. Generator is essentially a rotating device. Transformer is a static device.


What is a transformer and what principle is used in transformer?

A transformer is a static device which converts electrical energy from one circuit to another circuit without changing frequency, power, power factor. It works on the principle of faradays laws of electro magnetic induction.


What is the transformer and starter?

A transformer is a static device which is used to step up or step down voltage without changing frequency. A starter is a device used to start the motors.It is used to limit the starting current to a safe value.


Why transformer is called static device?

A transformer has two coils wound over a core. Depending on use, the two coils are named primary and secondary coils. The primary and secondary coils are linked magnetically (not electrically except in case of auto transformers) called mutual coupling. When the primary coil is excited with alternating voltage(A.C), varying magnetic flux is produced which links with the secondary coil and thus a voltage is induced in the secondary coil. Since there is no rotating or moving part utilized for the above process hence transformer is called a static device. The word static used here should not be confused for static charges. It only signifies "not moving"


What kind of a filter do you need to stop static in a FM radio in a shop that has neon lights?

You probably need an RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filter either between the neon lighting transformer and the wall plug, or a transformer with a built-in RFI filter.


How is an alternator different from transformer?

An 'alternator' is simply another term for an a.c. generator, that is a rotating machine that generates electrical energy. A 'transformer', on the other hand, is a static machine that changes the levels of voltage -they either step up a voltage or step down a voltage.
