Best Answer

trf cannot work on dc. the primary flux must vary for induction to occur in the

secondary winding.

How a transformer is very useful in ac supply?

Transformer is the only device which is capable to stepup or stepdown an ac signal. That's why its used widely in ac supply.


Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?

A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.

Why do transformers work only work on an AC supply?

Transformers only work on ac supply because it principle is mutual induction. DC supply has constant magnitude whereas AC has alternating magnitude. so we can step up or step down current/voltage in transformer in ac only.

Why do you obtain more dc voltage than ac voltage in power supply design by using transformer?

You don't. Transformers only work with AC voltage. Their input will be an AC waveform, and their output will be an AC waveform. Other electronics are used to convert the stepped down AC waveform from the transformer to DC.


What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifierwhich are found in a PC power supply?

The rectifier is what changes your AC into DC that the computer can use. Transformer raises or lowers the voltage. So you have 110 volts AC coming into your computers power supply. The Rectifier circuit in there changes the AC voltage to DC voltage but it is still to high for the computer use. The transformer lowers that voltage down to the various voltages that your computer needs
