When the transformer is connected to the power source the secondary current is 0 what is the possible fault in the transformer?

A secondary current of 0 would suggest to me that the secondary circuit is open. A normally operating circuit with zero current flow would be very unusual.
No load in secondary circuit.
No secondary current can also be attributed to the primary power source open or an open primary winding.

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.
In a transformer what induces a current in the secondary coil?
The current flowing in the primary generates a magnetic field which induces a current in the secondary winding.AnswerNo current is induced into the secondary winding of a transformer. What is induced is voltage. Current will only flow in the secondary winding if it is connected to the load, and it is the load that determines the current, not the primary current.
Why does transformer draws current when secondary is kept open?
A: If the transformer is connected to a power input of course it will draw current. The primary is a long wire it has own resistance wrap around an iron core. Of course there will be primary current whether there is a load on the secondary or not.
What is the output current of a 480 Volt primary 208 volt secondary - 3 phase transformer?
You need to mention the Load connected to find the current.
What is the function of the primary current when the secondary winding of the transformer is open?
When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.
How you can check load connected of transformer?
Measure the current and voltage on the secondary side.

What is the standard output current of a transformer when connected to an ac?
There is no 'standard' output current from a transformer. The secondary (output) current depends on the load, and should not exceed the rated secondary current. To find the rated secondary current, you divide the transformer's rated volt amperes by the rated secondary voltage. The above cited answer need more descriptive ; a) V/Z = I, b) V/Z = I + Magnetizing current of the transformer taken from Primary side of the transformer.
Would you expect to find an alternating or direct current in the secondary coil of a transformer?
An Alternating Voltage is induced in the secondary winding. When connected to an external load, you will have an alternating current.
Why does transformer draws current when secondary is kept open?
A: If the transformer is connected to a power input of course it will draw current. The primary is a long wire it has own resistance wrap around an iron core. Of course there will be primary current whether there is a load on the secondary or not.
When secondary coil is open there is no current in the primary coil WHY?
I am assuming the question is about the power / distribution transformer and not the current transformer. The primary current is a function of load connected on secondary. With the open secondary, there is no load, no current, it is open circuit. Hence no primary current. However there is always some small amount of no load current in the primary winding.
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.
What is the secondary rating of a 50KVA transformer?
The secondary current is determined by the load, not by the transformer. For example, if the secondary voltage is 50 V and the load is 100 ohms, then the secondary current will be 0.5 A. If the load is 25 ohms, then the secondary current will be 2 A. It is important that a continuous secondary current doesn't exceed the rated secondary current of the transformer.
What is principle of Current transformer?
why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current transformer ?
What is the output current of a 480 Volt primary 208 volt secondary - 3 phase transformer?
You need to mention the Load connected to find the current.
How current transformer measure current?
A current transformer doesn't 'measure current'. It merely reduces a large current flowing through its primary to a smaller current which can be read by an ammeter connected to its secondary. At the same time, it electrically isolates the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, which is essential if the primary circuit is part of a high-voltage system.
