When testing a power transformer with an ohmmeter which winding should have the largest ohmic value?

The higher-voltage winding has more turns (therefore its conductor will be longer) than the lower-voltage winding and, because it will carry less current, its conductors will have a lower cross-sectional area. Consequently, the higher-voltage winding will have a higher resistance than the lower-voltage winding.

Load test on single phase transformer?
The dc tests that can be done on a transformer are to measure the resistance of each windings and to measure the insulation resistance between the windings and between each winding and the transformer case.
What type of transformer has only a single winding?
the auto transformer is the one winding transformer. it ismaily used in practical purpose.
How can you identify the Primary and secondary winding of a transformer through input and output connected wires without using multimeter?
Usualy the largest current is at the lowest voltage side ; so the largest conductor section determine the lowest voltage side ; if the transformer is a set up one , the primary will be the lowest voltage winding ; in the other hand , it 'll be the highest voltage winding
What is the voltage output if the transformer is connected backwards?
It doesn't really matter which way around you use a transformer, the primary winding is ALWAYS whichever winding you connect to the supply, and the secondary winding is ALWAYS whichever winding you connect to the load. For either connection, the turns ratio will ALWAYS equal the voltage ratio for an ideal transformer (or close enough for a real transformer).
What is the present excise duty of transformer oil?
to cool a winding of transformer and it is a insulating material and transformer oil is a purifing oil
What is LV winding of a transformer?
For a step-down transformer, its secondary winding will be the LV winding. For a step-up transformer, its primary winding will be its LV winding.
The insulation resistance of a transformer winding can be easily measured with?
It depends on the rated voltage of the transformer winding -are you talking about a 12-V transformer winding or a 400-kV transformer winding? Obviously, there is no one answer to your question!

What is winding transformer?
A winding is the name given each of the coils wound around the transformer's core. A basic transformer has two windings, termed the primary winding (connected to the supply) and the secondary winding (connected to the load).
The primary winding in a transformer is connected to the what?
The primary winding of a transformer is connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load.
What type of transformer has only a single winding?
the auto transformer is the one winding transformer. it ismaily used in practical purpose.
How could you convert step up transformer into step down transformer?
Injecting power into the higher voltage winding of a transformer will make it act as a step down transformer; injecting power into the lower voltage winding will make it act as a step up transformer. A transformer can be used both ways.
Is there more current in the primary or secondary winding of a transformer?
The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', describe how a transformer is connected and his nothing to do with which is the lower- and higher-voltage winding.The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. So, for astep-up transformer, the secondary winding is the higher voltage winding, whereas for a step-down transformer, the secondary winding is the lower voltage winding.For a loaded transformer, i.e. a transformer whose secondary is supplying a load, the higher-voltage winding carries the smaller current, while the lower-voltage winding carries the higher current.

What type of transformer is used to prevent electrical noise from passing from the primary winding to the secondary winding?
Shielded transformer
Why a two winding transformer is used instead of single winding transformer?
You need two windings because that is the purpose of the transformer - to convert one voltage into another. If there were only one winding, it would be an inductor, or a special case called an autotransformer, but that is still "sort of" two windings.AnswerThe major advantage of a two-winding transformer (a 'mutual transformer') over a single-winding transformer (an 'autotransformer') is that a two-winding transformer provides electrical isolation between the secondary and primary circuits. This is very important for safety reasons and there are many circumstances in which the use of an autotransformer is not permitted.
