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.

What is the purpose of insulation tape?
Insulation tape is used to protect exposed electrical conductors or wires. Another term for it would be electrical tape. It is wrapped around wires and other electrical conductors to protect them.
What will be the output if you apply a single phase on all three wires of supply side of a transformer?
Your question is confusing because you give absolutely no information on the transformer, such as its turns ratio, or any information about the supply voltage. Presumably, though, you are describing a three-phase transformer, as you refer to three wires? Again this is confusing, because you do not describe how you would supply single phase to 'all three wires'!
Can a neon light be plugged into the wall?
(im the one asking ^That^ Question BTW) the kind of lights these are, are the kind you would install under your car... i have 3 tubes with wires at the end of each, a switch but no transformer do i need it? And also can i just stick the wires into the outlet or would that kill me? Ahaha Thank You Everyone!
How a simple transformer can be made?
The absolute simplest transformer would be two pieces of wire laid next to each other. Changing current in one wire would induce a magnetic field that in turn induced a current in the other wire. This would not be efficient though. Coiling the wires concentrically would increase their interaction and efficiency, but for a functional, simple transformer, wrapping the wires around a soft ferromagnetic materiel with a high magnetic permeability and high field saturation makes for a much more efficient transformer.
How do you get 240 volts out of a 110 outlet?
You would have to run new wires to obtain 240 volts or use a step-up transformer.
Why do circuits needs wires?
How else would you get electricity from one point to another? The wires or conductors conduct power from where it is generated to where it is used to power the many things you use in your day to day life.
Why are polymers used o cover electrails wires?
Most polymers are not very good conductors, so using them to cover the bare wires provides some degree of insulation, making it safer to touch the coated wires than it would be to touch the bare wires. It also helps prevent the wires from "shorting out" to each other or to ground.
Why transformer action takes place in a DC circuit?
A: A transformer is a PASSIVE ac component applying dc to it the wires resistance would be the only limiter for current flow. Usually a common transformer will burn up fast or slowly depends on power applied
How you differentiate between single phase and three phase transformer?
A single-phase transformer works with a single-phase supply, while a 3-phase transformer is used with a 3-phase supply. A single-phase transformer has 2 wires on the primary and secondary (ignoring taps) while a 3-phase tansformer has 3 or 4 wires on the primary and secondary.
Why is the secondary of a transformer a short circuit?
If you are saying that the secondary (output) winding on a transformer seems to be a short circuit, it is very likely to be low resistance and may only be a few ohms if you measure the resistance with an ohmeter. The only way it would actually be a short circuit is if something has been inserted which has shorted the wires or it has overheated and burnt through. In which case there should be an acrid smell. Or if you can see the wires you would see they were burnt. A short in the circuit it is powering could cause the transformer to overheat, burn out and short.
12v transformer which of the two wires from it do you use as live?
The transformer should have identification on it. The H1 and H2 terminals are for the primary side of the transformer that connect to the supply voltage. The secondary terminals will be identified as X1 and X2 and these connect to supply the load with a voltage that it needs. This identification is regardless of whether the transformer is a step up or step down type of configuration.The primary wires would attach to the outlet, while the secondary wires would attach to your device. If there are 3 secondary wires, that means they are center tapped, most likely at half voltage, and when you use the wire that's a different color from the rest with either of the other wires, you'd have 6 volt or whatever.It is common practice in DC appliances that attach to the outlet to use two half-wave rectifier circuits to produce full-wave DC at half voltage. So a 6 volt clock radio may contain a 12-volt, center-tapped transformer, and a large stereo might contain a 24-volt, center-tapped 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.
