What is the typical distance between the primary and the secondary windings of a transformer and how is it determined?
Rundstel
The primary and secondary windings of a transformer are generally wound around tubular-shaped 'formers', and are fitted, concentrically -in other words, they are installed one around the other, and over the same limb of the transformer's laminated core, with the higher-voltage winding outermost. The primary and secondary windings are not fitted separately over different limbs, as represented in schematic diagrams of Transformers.
In larger transformers, the two windings must have sufficient separation between them to allow for the circulation of oil. This oil has two purposes. The first is to provide insulation between the primary and secondary windings, over and above the insulation around the wound conductors. The second is to enable circulation for cooling -either by natural convection or by forced circulation.
The actual separation between the primary and secondary windings depends upon the voltage differences between the two windings. Greater voltage differences require greater separation. Typically we are talking in terms of tens of centimetres.

When working on a current transformer the secondary windings must be?
When working on a current transformer the secondary windings must be shorted. <<>> Properly loaded
What are the two coils in a transformer?
primary and secondary coilsAnswerPrimary and secondary windings.
What is difference betweena step up transformer and step down transformer?
The difference between the two transformers is the coil ratios between the primary and secondary windings. A transformer that increases voltage from primary to secondary has more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns and is called a step-up transformer. Conversely, a transformer with fewer secondary windings does just the opposite and is called a step-down transformer.
If a step-up transformer is to increase voltage it needs?
A step-up transformer needs more turns on the secondary windings than on the primary windings to increase the voltage.
How do you improve the flux linkage between the primary and secondary windings in a transformer?
by using an iron core

Is it a step up or a step down a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings the secondary voltage is 25v?
If a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings, it is a step up transformer. If the secondary voltage is 25v, the primary voltage will be 5v, because the turns ratio is 20 to 100, or 1 to 5.
What is the three phase transformer?
it has three primary windings & three secondary windings.
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 are the two coils in a transformer?
primary and secondary coilsAnswerPrimary and secondary windings.
Is 3 phase star transformer has more winding than delta?
The # of windings in a transformer are based on the primary and secondary voltages the transformer is rated for not the way the windings are connected.
How potentiotial transformer measure voltage?
A potential transformer (US terminology) or voltage transformer (UK terminology) operates on the same principle as any mutual transformer, but with the secondary windings connected across the terminals of a voltmeter. The secondary voltage, which is determined by the turns-ratio of the transformer, is usually standardised to match the full-scale deflection of the voltmeter.
What is resistance between primary and secondary winding of transformer?
The primary and secondary windings of a mutual transformer are electrically isolated, and should have 'infinite' resistance between them when measured appropriately (which depends on voltage ratings of the windings).
A transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings If the secondary voltage is 25 V find the primary voltage?
Voltage on primary/Primary turns = Voltage on secondary/Secondary turns
What is difference betweena step up transformer and step down transformer?
The difference between the two transformers is the coil ratios between the primary and secondary windings. A transformer that increases voltage from primary to secondary has more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns and is called a step-up transformer. Conversely, a transformer with fewer secondary windings does just the opposite and is called a step-down transformer.
If a step-up transformer is to increase voltage it needs?
A step-up transformer needs more turns on the secondary windings than on the primary windings to increase the voltage.
How many turns in secondary coil in Transformer?
It depends on the type of transformer.If it is a step up transformer the number of turns in secondary side is higher than primary.Stepdown means it will have fewer number of windings on the secondary side turns when compared with the primary side.An isolation transformer has the same number of windings on the primary as the secondary.The ratio of the windings is proportional to the increase or decrease in the secondary voltage. For example, twice the windings doubles the voltage and 1/2 the windings halves the secondary voltage. The isolation transformer is denoted as 1:1 and has the same voltage on the secondary as the primary.The ratio of secondary turns to primary turns is the same as the ratio of secondary voltage to primary voltage.e.g. if the secondary to primary turns ratio is 1/10, then the secondary voltage will be one tenth of the primary voltage.
