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.


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...


How does a transformer work in an AC unit?

A transformer in an AC unit works by converting the voltage of the electricity from the power source to a level that is suitable for the unit to operate. This allows the AC unit to function properly and efficiently.


Why transformer do not operate with DC?

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


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.


Would a step-up transformer or a step-down transformer be used to convert 260 volt AC from a household input into a 13 volt AC output in a portable electric fan?

A step-down transformer would be used to convert 260 volt AC from a household input into a 13 volt AC output for a portable electric fan. This type of transformer decreases the voltage, allowing the fan to operate safely and efficiently at the lower voltage required. Using a step-up transformer would increase the voltage instead, which is not suitable for this application.


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.


How do you reduce a 230v ac transformer to produce 140v ac?

By using step-down transformer


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.


Who will not operate on DC?

Transformer


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.


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
