There is no positive and negative on a transformer.

Transformers will only pass AC (alternating current), due to the fact that induction will only occur with a moving field. The current has to be changing polarity and intensity continuosly, for the current to be induced in the windings.

Both terminals on the output vary, with relation to each other.

Put DC into a transformer and the coils will saturate, overheat and probably burn out.

You are wiring a LED lamp through a transformer you have a polarized plug and you know positive and negative The transformer is marked live and neutral Does live correspond with positive or negative?

LED's are DC voltage. Transformers are AC voltage. There is no positive or negative on AC voltage. You would need a diode to change the AC to DC, then there would be positive and negative voltages.

How do you derive negative sequence impedance of an earthing transformer for 11 KV delta connected 10 MVA source transformer?

Negative sequence and positive sequence are the same for a transformer. You would derive using the same connections as done to calculate the positive sequence impedance. Usually the test report will give positive, and often zero sequence impedances (sometimes left off, depending on the type of transformer as the zero sequence sometimes is the same as the positive sequence). The negative sequence is never given to my knowledge, because it is redundant and unnecessary test.

What is a negative times a positive times a positive?

A negative. If you have a string of positive and negative numbers multiplied together, all you need to find the sign of the answer is to find the parity of the negative numbers. If there are an odd number of negatives then the answer is negative and if there are an even number of negatives then the answer is positive. Remember, positive numbers make no difference to the sign of the answer.


What number goes into 750?

The following are factors of 750, meaning they go into 750 a certain number of times. To find out how many times the number goes into 750, find the corresponding number on the other side of the array. For instance to see how many times 5 goes into 750, find the 4th-last number in the array (150):1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 125, 150, 250, 375, 750

What is the meaning of the DC electrical terms Positive Neutral and Negative?

DC means "direct current." Normally this is provided by a battery or transformer. Positive - The positive contact where current flows into a circuit. Neutral - The ground wire in case something happens like a surge. Negative - The negative contact where current leaves.
