No. Only Transformer could not be used for DC supply.If yoy need to have DC out put,then rectifier unit required .

Why does a transformer only work for AC supply and not DC supply?
A transformer makes and collapses a magnetic Field inside 60 times a second for home power in North America, 50 times a second in Europe. The building and collapsing of a magnetic field "Induces" a voltage in another transformer winding. DC current only creates a stable magnetic field and this will not create or induce voltage in the other winding. Normally covered in grade 5 science where I live.
Why transformer cannot work on dc voltage?
In DC, flow of current is controlled by resistance only where as in AC it is done by Impedance which is combination of Resistance , inductive and capacitive reactances.Reasons:In transformers resistance of the transformer's core windings are very low due to which if you will connect transformer across DC supply then it will draw a heavy current which will burn out is winding and it may damage the equipment too.Transformers works of the principal of Induction (Mutual/Self) that is possible in AC only because in DC there is no induction therefore even if transformer's windings anyhow withstand with DC there will be no voltage output at output terminals of the transformer, therefore it is useless to connect transformer on DC supply.
What is a flyback inverter?
fly back inverter is such kind of DC-AC inverters which use the flyback transformer for the low dc-high dc stage of the inveter shortly it's DC to AC inverter with flyback transformer inside .
Can you use a train transformer to power a cb radio?
For any power supply application you hav eto measure the supply specifications with the load specifications. If the supply is AC the load should be designed to use AC and the same for DC to DC. The voltages should match up. The current that the load requires must be less than or equal to the current that can be provided by the supply. Lastly the wires connecting the supply to the load must be sized to carry the current required by the load.
What is the function of a grounding transformer in a dc electric locomotive and what would make it heat up?
A grounding transformer provides a place to connect the distribution system ground where a delta system provides the AC supply.
What does filter do in a transformer?
A transformer does not use a filter. You may be asking about the use of a filter in a power supply. A power supply uses a filter to change pulsating DC from the rectifier into smooth DC for the circuits that the power supply powers.
Why transformer can not be used in dc supply?
The transformer cannot be used in the DC supply because it keeps on alternating its current, whereas the DC supply current should be constant.
Why doesn't transformer work on a DC supply?
to have transformer action there should be an alternating magnetic flux.but dc supply cannot produce alternating flux.
What happens if dc supply is connected to incomer of transformer?
If a DC supply is connected to the incomer of a transformer, you effectively have a short circuit, because the DC impedance of a transformer (actually, any inductor) is quite low. You will blow something.
How many volts does a mini connector have?
Depends on use,supply,AC,DC .Voltage,transformer ???
Do pulse transformer is work on dc supply?
hthhrhr
What happens if a dc supply is given to a transformer under no load?
when dc supply is given to transformer at primary winding , the output at secondary winding will be zero.Because to induce voltage ,countnie changing flux is required ,that can not be obtained from dc 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.
What will happen if transformer are connected to dc supply?
It will get core saturation
Can you step up or step down the DC voltage by a transformer?
You need alternating current for a transformer, for DC you would have to interrupt the power supply to make it effectively DC pulses.
Is it appropriate to use dc supply in a transformer?
Not usually. Transformers require a varying magnetic field, which is induced by AC voltage.
How dc supply is given to transformer used in push pull amplifiers?
The dc is supplied via a centre-tap on the transformer. This ensures zero dc net flux in the transformer core, which enables a much smaller core to be used.
