A transformer has 150 turns on the primary coil and is connected to a 120 volt power source?

600 volts is five times the 120 volt primary, so the secondary winding must have 750 turns, which is five times as many turns as the 150 turns of the primary winding.

When the transformer is connected to the power source the secondary current is 0 what is the possible fault in the transformer?
A secondary current of 0 would suggest to me that the secondary circuit is open. A normally operating circuit with zero current flow would be very unusual. No load in secondary circuit. No secondary current can also be attributed to the primary power source open or an open primary winding.
What are the limitations of power supply?
Power limitation transformer circuit structure of power supply, including: an electromagnetic interference filter unit, a rectifying unit, a power factor correction section, a transformer having a primary input terminal and secondary input terminal, a pulse controlling unit connected with the secondary input terminal of the transformer, a primary power limitation circuit and at least one secondary power limitation circuit, an output current controlling unit and an output voltage controlling unit. The input terminal of the output current controlling unit is connected with the secondary output terminal of the transformer. The primary output terminal and secondary output terminal of the output current controlling unit are respectively serially connected with the primary and secondary power limitation circuits. The input terminal of the output voltage controlling unit is connected with the secondary output terminal of the transformer. The output terminal of the output voltage controlling unit is connected with the secondary power limitation circuit for controlling the magnitude of the voltage and current of the primary and secondary power limitation circuits so as to control the output power.
How could you convert step up transformer into step down transformer?
Injecting power into the higher voltage winding of a transformer will make it act as a step down transformer; injecting power into the lower voltage winding will make it act as a step up transformer. A transformer can be used both ways.
Why does transformer draws current when secondary is kept open?
A: If the transformer is connected to a power input of course it will draw current. The primary is a long wire it has own resistance wrap around an iron core. Of course there will be primary current whether there is a load on the secondary or not.
Magnetic inrush current in power transformer?
When a transformer is initially connected to a source of AC voltage, there may be a substantial surge of current through the primary winding called inrush current. Inrush current can be up to ten times higher than the continuously needed current because there is low initial resistance.

Why power at the secondary winding is less than the power at the primary winding?
If power were greater at secondary you would have an unlimited source of power. It is less because there are always losses in a transformer.
How could you convert step up transformer into step down transformer?
Injecting power into the higher voltage winding of a transformer will make it act as a step down transformer; injecting power into the lower voltage winding will make it act as a step up transformer. A transformer can be used both ways.

Why does the television need to be connected to the isolation transformer before it is connected to the power source?
Television sets do not need to be connected to isolation transformers for normal operation. However, most modern sets do not have power transformers, which means they run directly off of the line. In that case, you do need an isolation transformer to protect yourself from electrocution during repair.
Why on load or off load tap changer is always connected in the primary side of a power or distribution transformer. And why distribution and power transformer are rated MVA?
The size of any switch depends on current it carries. Your statement is true for step down transformers. The primary is HV hence less current, so the tap changer is on primary side.

When secondary coil is open there is no current in the primary coil WHY?
I am assuming the question is about the power / distribution transformer and not the current transformer. The primary current is a function of load connected on secondary. With the open secondary, there is no load, no current, it is open circuit. Hence no primary current. However there is always some small amount of no load current in the primary winding.
Why can auto transformer be dangerous?
(An auto-transformer can be dangerous because the primary is not electrically isolated from the secondary. If the auto-transformer is connected to mains power, this is the equivalent of sticking your fingers directly in the wall plug; not a good idea!) aka deceptacons like megatron will kill you.
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..
What happens when load is given to primary side of a transformer?
The Load will consume part of the power and therefore reduce the current (voltage ) available for the secondary part of the transformerAnswerYou cannot apply a load to the primary of a transformer which, by definition, is the winding connected to the supply voltage. Your question makes no sense.
