Difference between power and furnace transformer?

Power transformer is used step up or down the voltage for the electricity transmission while furnace transformer is used to melt the metals and ores in the electric furnace.


What is linear transformer?

The Linear Variable Differential Transformer is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement. A counterpart to this device that is used for measuring rotary displacement is called a Rotary Variable Differential Transformer.


What does a buck boost transformer do?

A buck boost transformer is a type of transformer that is used to make adjustments to the voltage applied to alternating current equipment. These transformers are typically used in back up supplies or in tanning beds.


What is a curect transformer?

A 'current transformer' is a type of transformer which, together with a 'voltage transformer' (or 'potential transformer' in N America), is classified as being an 'instrument transformer'. It is used to reduce large currents to smaller currents which can be measured safely, and to isolate the primary circuit from the secondary circuit for the purposes of safety. Current transformers are also used to drive protective relays used in high-voltage protection systems.


What type of current must be used with a transformer?

DC current cannot be used in a transformer only AC will work. A transformer needs the continual build and collapse of the magnetic field to keep the iron core from reaching saturation. Only alternating current will transfer power through a transformer.

Where is a step up transformer used in the home?

An example would be if you had a oil furnace, the ignition system would be a step up transformer. The step up 120 volt to 15000 volt transformer is used to ignite the fuel that comes out of the nozzle under high pressure to make the fuel burn.

Which type of tranformer in widely used?

There are basically two types of transformers:- a) step down transformer b) step up transformer a) step down transformer is mostly used in order to decrease the voltage of the line. As such we all know that - v= i/r , where v= voltage, i= current and r= resistance b) step up transformer. It is used to increase the voltage in the circuit. As such 'v' is directly proportional to 'i' and inversely proportional to 'r'. so loss of energy occurs here.


What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?

The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.
