Because of how a transformer works. Basically a transformer have a primary and a secondary winding sitting close to each other, with the primary connected to the ac source. Pushing ac through the primary wionding creates a pulsating magnetic field. Pushing a pulsating magnetic field through the secondary winding creates an electric current in it. That current will also be ac, but dependent on the number of turns in the windings it will have another voltage.
DC don't give a pulsating magnetic field from the primary winding, and a stationary magnetic field won't generate any electricity in the secondary winding.

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.
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 a transformer rectify the alternating current?
No, a transformer changes the ac to a voltage that the user requires. After that a rectifier can be connected to it to provide dc.
What type of voltage must be passed across a transformer?
A transformer must be connected to an alternating current (AC) supply of the correct voltage.
What will happen when a single diode is connected to a transformer with ac signal?
it convert ac signal into dc signal But it will give only half-wave rectification.
Why will or won't a transformer operate on AC?
transformer will work on ac
How are is a transformer and a rectifier different?
A transformer changes the VOLTAGE of AC current (AC to AC). A rectifier changes AC to DC.
How do i know what wires to connect together on an ac transformer?
All transformers are AC. Your question also does not contain enough information. If it is a multi-tap transformer, the wiring will be unique to the manufacturer but is very often indicated on a label or printed onto the former or case of the transformer. If it isn't a muti-tap transformer, no wires should be connected together, or you have worded the question very badly.
How do you reduce a 230v ac transformer to produce 140v ac?
By using step-down transformer
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..
Does a transformer convert AC to DC?
No, a transformer does not change AC to DC. For this purpose there is a device known as a rectifier, and to transform it back to AC from DC you'll need an inverter. Transformers are only useful with AC due to the alternating waveform which induces a voltage in the secondary winding (when it is connected to a load).
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.
