It depends on the rated voltage of the transformer winding -are you talking about a 12-V transformer winding or a 400-kV transformer winding? Obviously, there is no one answer to your question!

What is resistance between primary and secondary winding of transformer?

The primary and secondary windings of a mutual transformer are electrically isolated, and should have 'infinite' resistance between them when measured appropriately (which depends on voltage ratings of the windings).


Load test on single phase transformer?

The dc tests that can be done on a transformer are to measure the resistance of each windings and to measure the insulation resistance between the windings and between each winding and the transformer case.


Why you do insulation resistance test?

in order to avoid unwanted short circuit break downs.... short circuit can burn the transformer and motor winding.... Megger is the device used to check the insulation .


What is the resistance of a 230 volt transformer?

The resistance of a 230-volt transformer cannot be determined solely from its voltage rating; it depends on the specific design, materials, and winding configurations of the transformer. Typically, the resistance is measured in ohms and can vary widely based on factors such as the number of turns in the winding and the wire gauge used. To find the actual resistance, you would need to perform a direct measurement on the transformer's primary and secondary windings using an ohmmeter.


Why the winding resistance of transformer is not sufficent when it is used in dc supply?

It is.AnswerA transformer is designed to operate with an AC supply voltage, not DC -in fact, it cannot operate with a DC supply voltage.Opposition to the flow of alternating current is made up of resistance and reactance. Resistance depends upon the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the transformer winding conductor. Reactance depends upon the inductance of the transformer winding and the frequency of the supply voltage.Because a transformer winding is highly inductive, its reactance is very much larger than its resistance, and is more than sufficient to limit the AC current to a value that will not overheat the winding conductor. However, if you supply the transformer with a DC voltage that is equivalent in value to its AC rated voltage, the low value of resistance will allow a very large DC current to flow -large enough, probably, to overheat the conductor insulation, possibly causing it to break down and cause severe damage to the transformer.


What is difference between breakdown voltage and dielectric strength of transformer?

The dielectric strenght of a transformer represents the maximum voltage permissible to apply across the transformer insulation i.e. between the transformer winding to another part of the transformer, normally the chassis or another winding and without break-down of the insulation ocurring (e.g. arcing). The breakdown voltage of a transformer represents a voltage that exceeds its dielectric strenght and that causes breakdown e.g. arcing across the insulation.

How do you measure polarization index on motors?

The polarization index (PI) of a motor is measured by applying a DC voltage to the motor's winding and observing the insulation resistance over time. Typically, the insulation resistance is measured at intervals of 1 minute and 10 minutes using a megohmmeter. The PI is calculated by dividing the resistance at the 10-minute mark by the resistance at the 1-minute mark. A higher PI indicates better insulation quality and lower moisture or contamination levels.


What is the resistance of the secondary of a 24 volt transformer?

The resistance of the secondary of a transformer depends on the wire gauge and length of wire used in the winding. Typically, the resistance of the secondary winding of a 24 volt transformer can range from a few ohms to tens of ohms. It is best to measure the resistance using a multimeter for an accurate value.


What tests you carry out on transformer to prepare for first energising?

Before the first energizing of a transformer, several critical tests should be conducted to ensure its integrity and functionality. These tests typically include insulation resistance testing to assess the condition of the insulation, power factor testing to evaluate the dielectric properties, and winding resistance measurements to check for proper connections and balance. Additionally, a megger test may be performed to measure the insulation resistance against ground, and a transformer turns ratio (TTR) test is conducted to verify the correct turns ratios of the windings.


What is LV winding of a transformer?

For a step-down transformer, its secondary winding will be the LV winding. For a step-up transformer, its primary winding will be its LV winding.


Does a step-up transformer have a higher primary or secondary resistance?

It is a step up transformer since the secondary windings are greater than the primary. the turns ratio is (primary to secondary) 1:5, so the primary voltages is 1/5 of the secondary (5 volts).
