Why might the unloaded output voltage of a transformer be higher than its rms of 12.6v?

Because the windings of Transformers have resistance, the primary and secondary currents will cause voltage drops. To compensate for the drops, the transformer may have been designed to have a higher than specified output voltage when there is little or no output current.
The no load output voltage typically is only slightly greater than the specified voltage.
Before measuring the output voltage, measure the input (line) voltage. If it is not as specified for the transformer, calculate its effect on the output.

What is the difference between variable transformer and ordinary transformer?
Variable transformer may also refer as auto transformer. We can vary the output voltage of the transformer. But in the ordinary transformers output voltage is already designed.
Can a high voltage transformer be megged with a megger meter?
No. A megger's output voltage is not high enough to test the insulation of a high-voltage transformer if, by 'high-voltage transformer ', you mean a distribution transformer or power transformer. Instead, a high-voltage test set or 'pressure tester' (e.g. a 'HiPot' tester) must be used, as these produce far higher voltages.
Why the transformer connected on inverter output?
A transformer is connected to the output of inverter in order to step up the AC voltage output.
What determines the output voltage and the current of a transformer?
The ratio of output windings to input windings determines the ratio of output voltage to input voltage. The ratio of current is the inverse.
Why during loading the voltage get decreased at output?
Output voltage (...of a transformer, for example...) will decrease as it is loaded because of the transformer's internal resistance. As output current increases/load resistance decreases, a larger voltage will be dropped across the internal transformer resistance. This same phenomenon is present in AC and DC systems (such as batteries).
What is the minimum resistance when megohming 13.2kv transformer?
A megger would not be suitable for testing insulation resistance of a 13.2-kV transformer, as the transformer's voltage rating is significantly higher than the output voltage from a megger.
What is the difference between variable transformer and ordinary transformer?
Variable transformer may also refer as auto transformer. We can vary the output voltage of the transformer. But in the ordinary transformers output voltage is already designed.
What is voltage regulation of Transformer?
The change in output voltage from no load to full load defines the voltage regulation of that transformer.
How much output voltage is there if input voltage from a transformer is 32v?
It depends on the turns ratio of the transformer.
What is the point of a step up transformer?
A 'step-up' transformer is a transformer with more turns on its secondary winding than on its primary winding. It's secondary (output) voltage is, therefore, higher than its primary (input) voltage.
What are the output voltage and current of a transformer determined by?
The secondary (output) voltage is determined by the primary voltage and the turns ratio of the transformer. The secondary current is determined by the secondary voltage and the load resistance.
Can a high voltage transformer be megged with a megger meter?
No. A megger's output voltage is not high enough to test the insulation of a high-voltage transformer if, by 'high-voltage transformer ', you mean a distribution transformer or power transformer. Instead, a high-voltage test set or 'pressure tester' (e.g. a 'HiPot' tester) must be used, as these produce far higher voltages.
Why the transformer connected on inverter output?
A transformer is connected to the output of inverter in order to step up the AC voltage output.
Why is output dc higher than input ac?
Output power can never be more than input power. With a transformer, it is possible to increase the output current (while decreasing the output voltage), or to decrease the output current (while increasing the output voltage).
What is meant by high and low voltage sides of transformers?
Transformers are use to step up and step down the voltage of electricity. In a step up transformer, the voltage coming out is higher than the voltage going in so the output is the high side and the input the low side. In a step down transformer, the output is the low side.
What is the Name of the transformer in which the output AC voltage is less than the input AC voltage?
It is a step-down transformer.
Does a transformer boost electric energy?
The transformer doesn't "boost" energy. If the voltage on the output side is higher than the voltage on the input side, then the current is lower. The power (energy every second) on either side is the product of (voltage) times (current), and that product is the same on both sides of the transformer.
