Does a transformer contains capacitor?

A transformer does not normally contain a capacitor. However, you might be thinking of a 'd.c. power supply', which consists of a transformer, rectifier, and smoothing circuits. The smoothing circuits will contain capacitors.


Advantages of current transformer?

A CT allows:heavy currents to be measured using conventional ammeters, andelectrically-isolates the ammeters from high-voltage primary circuits.


When would you use current transformer?

A 'current transformer' (CT) is classified as an instrument transformer, which means it is used to provide a small secondary current that is in proportion to its large primary current, for purposes of metering or protection. At the same time, it electrically-isolates the secondary (metering) circuits from the primary circuits (which are often high-voltage circuits) for the purpose of safety.


What is current trandformers?

I believe you meant transformer. If so it is a transformer used in high voltage circuits to reduce the current to a safer measurable value. It can be used as a direct input to a metering or protective relay to covert high currents to a lower value. It is used in AC circuits and typically encircles the conductor(s) it is monitoring, then works by using the expanding/ collapsing field which is the theory of induction used in transformer operation. It is the primary side of a "transformer" which only works when there is current flowing through it.


Why transformer action can take place in DC circuit?

Not clear what your question is. First of all, circuits are not classified as DC and AC. Circuits are what they are, and you can apply either AC or DC to any circuit. However, considering a circuit that was designed only for use with DC applied. Still your question is unclear. What is transformer action? "Transformer Action" happens in a transformer.


What is Transformer in Hindi?

Transformer in Hindi is called "ट्रांसफ़ॉर्मर" (pronounced as "transformer"). It is a device used to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.


Which is basic function of transformer?

It uses electromagnetic induction to transfer energy between separate circuits.


Transformer are used in circuits containing both dc and ac?

No transformers only work with AC.


Why DC cannot be stepped down?

DC cannot be easily stepped down using a transformer like AC because transformers work on the principle of electromagnetic induction, which requires a changing magnetic field to induce a current in the secondary coil. Since DC has a constant magnetic field, it cannot induce a current in the secondary coil of a transformer. However, DC can be stepped down using other methods such as voltage divider circuits or chopper circuits.


What is the purpose of a small step down transformer in electrical circuits?

A small step-down transformer in electrical circuits is used to reduce the voltage from a higher level to a lower level. This helps to safely power devices that require lower voltage levels, protecting them from potential damage.


How are the two circuits of an induction motor similar to the circuit of a transformer?

They are magnetically coupled--a current in one circuit induces a current in the other one in both a transformer and an induction motor.
