Best Answer

because its a good conducter of electricity and has high melting point so even if the volts are high it cnt melt

What are copper losses in a transformer?

Copper losses are purely voltage-drop losses (I squared R) caused by the resistance of the windings, as opposed to hysteresis losses and eddy current losses (so-called iron losses), which are magnetic in nature. They are called copper losses whether the winding conductors are made of copper or not, by the way.


Why is the pipe carrying the hot gases made of copper coil?

Because copper is a good conductor of heat


Why auto transformer is lighter than conventional type?

because the copper is saved in the auto transformer that is the ratio of weights of copper in auto transformer to normal transformer is (1-(1/a)) where a is transformer ratio


What is uses of tapped coil?

If question is about a transformer's tapped coil then the taps are a way of getting different voltages from one transformer. The end of the transformer's coil is the common point and the taps to this common point will give different voltages depending on where in the coil the taps are taken from.


How do you connect a diode across a ac coil?

You mean ac coil, the secondary coil, of a transformer? Then for the purpose of rectification, that is , for changing ac into dc, a diode is connected in series with the secondary coil of the transformer.


Does the primary winding VA equal the secondary winding VA when a transformer is loaded?

no becouse transformer function depends on no of coil in primary and secondry coil


When did Nikola Tesla create the Tesla coil transformer?

In 1891, Tesla invented the Tesla coil, which was widely used in radios and television sets. A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit.


Which device tranfers electrial energy from a primary coil to a secondary coil induction?

transformer


Can you use a step down transformer as a step up transformer by reversing the secondary voltage as a primary voltage?

Yes a Tesla coil or ignition coil is an example.


What is transformative use?

the Transformer depends up on the Voltage transformer input Voltage 230 V . out put volt depend upon the secondary winding of the coil with swg coil ( copper Thickness) Ex 230 V input = step-up Transformer = above 230 v ( like 440 v, 1000v but same current) 230 V input = step-down Transformer = below 230 v ( like 3 ,6,9,12,24,110v, but same current)


What were the most important trends in coil and transformer production?

The most important trends in coil and transformer production were continued miniaturization and weight reduction, as well as surface mounting


How is copper losses reduced in transformers?

how to reduce copper losses in a transformer Copper losses are due to the resistance of the copper (or aluminum) windings. To reduce copper losses the transformer would have to be rewound with heavier gage wire.
