Transformer works with varying flux. DC won't create it. Only AC produce varying flux.

Who will not operate on DC?
Transformer
Can transformer operate on triangular wave DC?
If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.
In D.C supply the transformer is not connected why?
In a DC power supply a transformer is connected. The only time there would be no transformer used would be if the DC voltage wanted was 120 VDC. The transformer in the power supply is connected to 120 VAC on the primary side and the secondary side of the transformer is connected to either a half wave or a full wave diode bridge. The voltage out of the diode bridge will be the same output voltage potential as the transformer's secondary voltage but it will be a DC (Direct Current) potential.Reading the question in another way, transformers are not connected in a DC circuit. The reason being is that the transformer operates on a collapsing magnetic field. This field induces a voltage into the secondary side of the transformer. Since the DC circuit does not operate on the principle of a collapsing field except when the circuit is opened, the transformer would not operate as a transformer should..
Why doesn't an AC appliance operate on DC?
Anything with a transformer in it will not work on DC because the transformer will draw enough current to blow the fuse (or catch fire) because transformers must always have a changing voltage. A simple heater will work on AC or DC. Appliances with most types of motor will only work on AC.
When transformer voltage regulation will be zero it operate at?
A transformer will operate with a voltage regulation of zero when it is not supplying a load.
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 DC output if DC input is used in an ac step up transformer?
The DC output will be zero because transformers do not operate on DC there would be a slight peak when switched but then it would settle to zero. Transformers require a changing magnetic field to transfer power.
How does a DC transformer work?
transformer cannot be worked on DC because as the dc is constant there will be no change of flux & may lead to shot circuit.
Why will or won't a transformer operate on AC?
transformer will work on ac
How do you make ac into DC in a ac transformer?
You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater
Can you use transformer for DC supply?
No. Only Transformer could not be used for DC supply.If yoy need to have DC out put,then rectifier unit required .
If DC is applied to the primary of a transformer is there any current in the secondary and if there is then whether ac or DC?
first, understand that a transformer is an AC DEVICE. it wont work on dc...
