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).
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 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.
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.
What is winding transformer?
A winding is the name given each of the coils wound around the transformer's core. A basic transformer has two windings, termed the primary winding (connected to the supply) and the secondary winding (connected to the load).
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 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.

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).
What is the conditon to connect a DC supply in primary of transformer?
Dc voltage level should not exceed the current carrying capacity of the winding. since winding resistance is very small. We need to be careful in giving the dc voltage to transformer winding.

What are the conditions for operate the three phase transformer?
The BDV value of the transformer oil should be above 50kv winding resistance value should me minimum depends upon the KVA Of trans earthing should be provide for the trans air should be release inside of the tranformer insulation level should be check to operate the transformer these are all the initial condition to operate the trans
What happens when a transformer is fed with dc voltage?
a transformer require AC to function as desired it transform the AC to different levels. DC on a transformer can only see the actual primary or secondary resistance if the source is not limited in current it will burn the transformer by excessive heating since it will see only wire resistance. Answer 2 the application of an AC voltage, V on one winding of the transformer produces alternating flux that links the entire core of the transformer. The changing flux induces an emf, E that opposes the main voltage. the current through the winding in this case is {(V-E)/R}; R= winding resistance in case of application of DC, since there is no changing flux, there is no induced emf and hence the current will be V/R since the resistance of the winding is very small, the current is very high and this can burn away the windings. hence DC is not used.
