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...
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.
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.
How do you reduce a 230v ac transformer to produce 140v ac?
By using step-down transformer
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
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.
