Why the winding resistance of transformer is not sufficent when it is used in dc supply?
It is.
AnswerA transformer is designed to operate with an AC supply voltage, not DC -in fact, it cannot operate with a DC supply voltage.
Opposition to the flow of alternating current is made up of resistance and reactance. Resistance depends upon the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the transformer winding conductor. Reactance depends upon the inductance of the transformer winding and the frequency of the supply voltage.
Because a transformer winding is highly inductive, its reactance is very much larger than its resistance, and is more than sufficient to limit the AC current to a value that will not overheat the winding conductor. However, if you supply the transformer with a DC voltage that is equivalent in value to its AC rated voltage, the low value of resistance will allow a very large DC current to flow -large enough, probably, to overheat the conductor insulation, possibly causing it to break down and cause severe damage to the transformer.

What is the conditon to connect a DC supply in primary of transformer?
Dc voltage level should not exceed the current carrying capacity of the winding. since winding resistance is very small. We need to be careful in giving the dc voltage to transformer winding.
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 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).
Does a step-up transformer have a higher primary or secondary resistance?
It is a step up transformer since the secondary windings are greater than the primary. the turns ratio is (primary to secondary) 1:5, so the primary voltages is 1/5 of the secondary (5 volts).
Why ca you not use a transformer on a DC circuit?
Transformer can not be connected to DC supply because of the reason described as below:In case of AC Supply to the transformer, Current flows through the primary winding when the primary winding is given V1 voltage. So the alternating flux is produced in the core. This flux links with the winding and the emf E1 is used in the winding, which lags V1 by 180 degree. So only magnetizing current is drawn from the supply ( at no load ), whose value is very less.Now if the primary winding is connected to the DC supply, unidirectional flux is produced in the core, which does not induce emf in the primary winding. So the current is limited by the resistance of the winding only. Now the resistance of the winding is very less so it takes large current. So the fuse blows off as soon as the DC supply is given. If the thick fuse wire is used, the primary winding burns out.
What is stepup transformer?
A step-up transformer produces a voltage across its secondary winding which is higher than its primary winding. The secondary winding is connected to the load, while the primary winding is connected to the supply.
What are the primary winding and secondary winding of a transformer?
The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary' are unrelated to voltage levels.
How can you distinguish the primary from secondaty side on a transformer?
Whichever winding is connected to the supply is the primary winding; whichever winding is connected to the load is the secondary winding.
What happens if a dc supply is given to a transformer under no load?
when dc supply is given to transformer at primary winding , the output at secondary winding will be zero.Because to induce voltage ,countnie changing flux is required ,that can not be obtained from dc supply...........
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.
Why don't we supply to DC to the transformer?
When we give d.c supply to a transformer the primary winding will burn because constent flux will be will be produced which doesnt link with secondary so max current will circulate on primary winding only
What is the term for the transformer winding to which the load is connected?
The load is connected to the transformer's secondarywinding, while the primary winding is connected to the supply. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', do NOT relate to voltage levels.
