The load side of a transformer feeds the device, such as a light or motor. It is the output of the transformer. The input, or line side, provides the voltage that is to be transformed, either up or down, to supply the load side.
AnswerA transformer's primary winding is connected to the supply voltage, and the secondary winding is connected to the load.

No-load and full load transformer?
A: a transformer will follow the rule of input output ratio with no load. As soon as a load is applied there will be changes in the ratio
The current load of a transformer is the current drawn by the?
load
How do you calculate current on the primary side of a transformer only knowing the turns ratio and the voltage ratio?
The primary current on a loaded transformer depends on the secondary current, which is determined by the load. So, if you know the secondary load current, then you can use the turns ratio of the transformer to determine the primary current:Ip/Is = Ns/Np
How a transformer can be used as impedance matching?
If the line impedance is Z0 and the load is ZL then connect the load using a transformer with N turns ration. N=sqrt(Z0/ZL)
What is the function of an electrical load of a circuit?
its the alternatingg currentAnswerA load is any device, or group of devices, that draws energy from an electrical supply.For examplethe filament of a flashlight is the load supplied by that flashlight's battery.a loudspeaker is the load supplied by an amplifier.your residence represents a load to your electricity supplier's distribution transformer. a whole geographical area represents the load supplied by the electricity grid.In another use of the term, we say that a generator or transformer is 'loaded' when it connected to a load, but is 'off-load' when it is operating but not connected to a load.
Which side of a transformer is the load connected to?
It is connected to the secondary side.
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.
Is a transformer load inductive or capacitive?
A transformer is fundamentally a set of coils; therefore, a transformer is an inductive load. However, by "transformer load", you seem to mean "the load that is connected to a transformer". Whether that load is inductive or capacitive depends mostly on what is hooked up to the transformer.
How you can check load connected of transformer?
Measure the current and voltage on the secondary side.
Difference between off load transformer and on load transformer?
Hope this helpsAn "OFF-Load tap transformer" can only have it's tap adjusted when it is De-energized,while the "On-Load tap transformer" can adjust its tap under load conditions.Kind RegardsHammad KhanUniversity of Western AustraliaAnswerAn 'off load' transformer is one whose secondary is open circuited, and not supplying a load. An 'on load' (not 'load') transformer is one that is connected to a load.
How do you calculate the current of the secondary side of the transformer without a load are impedance known?
Without a load the secondary current is zero, by definition.
How do you load a transformer?
Anything that draws energy from a supply is a load. So you 'load' a transformer by attaching a lamp, a motor, etc., to the transformer's secondary windings.
What is on load tap chenger?
A tap changer is used to vary the turns ration between the windings of a transformer to make minor changes to the secondary voltage. An on-load tap changer enables the turns ratio to be altered without disconnecting the transformer. An off-load tap changer requires the transformer to be temporarily diconnected. On-load tap changers are installed on the high-voltage side of the transformer, where the current is lower.
Why load is always connected to secondary of transformer?
b'coz at the secondary side large amount of current flow by recarding of active component or other ckt. which is connected to the secondary side so that ckt. is not damage or burned by flowing large amount .. load is connected at the secondary side .AnswerThe 'primary' winding of a transformer is, by definition, whichever winding is connected to the supply, whereas the 'secondary' winding is whichever winding is connected to the load. This does not mean that a load MUST be connected to a transformer, as it will work 'off load' -that is, with no load connected- without any harm.
Why does a transformer blow the circuit breaker on the primary side if it is not connected to a load on the secondary side?
A normal transformer should not blow the primary side breaker when it is not connected to a load on the secondary. If it does, something is wrong. Check for shorted or burned windings. Make sure that it is indeed disconnected from the load - it might still be connected to something that is also presenting a fault.
What wires conductors would go under x lug in a transformer?
The primary side of a transformer is identified as the H side, eg. H1,H2,H3,H4. The secondary side of a transformer is identified as the X side. Eg. X1, X2. Usually X1 goes to a fuse and then to the load, X2 is usually the neutral side and is grounded to the body of the transformer.
Can i Over load an oil filled transformer?
Any transformer can be overloaded by applying a load above the capacity rating of the transformer.
