Why The Excitation current is non-sinusoidal when applied voltage is sinusoidal?
excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.
The incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called what?
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
What are the output voltage and current of a transformer determined by?
The secondary (output) voltage is determined by the primary voltage and the turns ratio of the transformer. The secondary current is determined by the secondary voltage and the load resistance.
What is the difference between a current transformer and a voltage transformer?
A current transformer step downs the current in a power circuit to a lower amperage. A voltage transformer steps down the voltage in a power circuit, typically to 110 volts AC for residential and business use.
Does a step-down transformer increase its voltage and and decrease it's current?
No. A step-down transformer's secondary voltage is lower than its primary voltage. The secondary current is determined by the load, and this causes a higher current in the primary winding.
Why The Excitation current is non-sinusoidal when applied voltage is sinusoidal?
excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.
Why we use delta-star transformer instead of star-star transformer in a consumer plant.?
There is a problem called "neutral phase shift" in star-star transformer, if we connect unbalance load(single phase load at secondary), then the phase point is shifted towards neutral. we require sinusoidal secondary voltage at secondary, for this flux must be sinusoidal. Flux will be sinusoidal, if it contains the third harmonic component of exciting current. so third harmonic current can not flow in star-star transformer. so we use delta-star transformer,in delta , third harmonic component can flow & get sinusoidal output.
What is the voltage that is provided by the transformer is called the?
Secondary voltage.
Can a constant dc current can induce a steady state voltage in a transformer?
No, the current has to change for a voltage to be induced in the transformer.
Why is the peak amplitude of voltage load lower than the amplitude of voltage transformer?
Unless otherwise stated, the value of an a.c. current or voltage is expressed in r.m.s. (root mean square) values which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 times their peak value. The output of a voltage (or potential) transformer is no different, its measured voltage will be its r.m.s value which is lower than its peak value.
Will a 4.74 amp transformer fry a computer designed for a 3.42 amp transformer?
No because the current rating of the transformer is a maximum allowable current. If the computer still takes 3.42 amps it will be OK provided the new transformer supplies the correct voltage.
What is nonsinusoidal currents?
"nonsinusoidal current" is any current that is not sinusoidal - it could be a wave such as a square wave, triangle wave, etc. DC (direct current) is non sinusoidal. This term is often used in reference to currents that you "would expect" to be sinusoidal (such as the current to your house is sinusoidal at 50 or 60 hz) but aren't - such as transformer inrush current, magnetizing currents,...any current with large amounts of harmonics. AC current is also (generally) not sinusoidal due to the way power supplies only conduct from the input when the rectifier filter capacitor needs to be recharged during each line cycle. That results in a pulsing current, even though the voltage is mostly sinusoidal.
A transformer can only the voltage of an alternating current?
A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
The incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called what?
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
What is the purpose of constant voltage transformer?
The term 'constant voltage transformer' is used to differentiate the operation of transformers that are intended to change voltage levels, from those intended to change current levels -a current transformer (CT), for example, is termed a 'constant current transformer'.
What is the incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer called?
the incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called primary voltage.....
What is the main different between the power transformer and voltage transformer?
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
