It means a signal has no direct (galvanic) connection to the next circuit, rather, the signal is sent (coupled) only through the magnetic field in the transformer. This is used where unwanted DC current would flow, or where a ground loop would result if a direct connection was used.

Advantage of a transformer over a transformer coupled circuit?

Sounds more like a "homework" or "test" question, rather than a real-world question, and vague, at that! Could you re-phrase your question in a better, more-precise context, or check it for typos? Right now, your question seems to ask "What's the advantage of using a transformer, instead of using a transformer-coupled circuit?"...which makes no sense, since a "transformer-coupled circuit" USES a transformer.


What is a transformer-coupled class A amplifier?

A transformer-coupled class A amplifier is just what it says it is. You'll recall that a class A amp is one that has an output that varies through all 360 degrees of an input signal. As regards the manner in which the signal is coupled to or from the stage, a transformer is used, complete with the non-linearity that it will introduce because of the characteristics of the (untuned) inductive component.


Why a transformer is known as electrical isolator?

because its primary and secondary are electrically isolated and magnetically coupled


What is circuit coupling?

A coupling circuit connects the output of one stage of a system to the input of another stage. There are many different types of coupling circuits (e.g. direct coupled, resistor coupled, capacitor coupled, transformer coupled) each with its own advantages and disadvantages.


What is intercell transformer?

A Conventional fly back converter is revamped using an intercell transformer,unlike a normal transformer Construction of inter cell transformer varies by usage of coupled inductors where compactness , overall efficiency and cost effectiveness are dramatically improved


How are the two circuits of an induction motor similar to the circuit of a transformer?

They are magnetically coupled--a current in one circuit induces a current in the other one in both a transformer and an induction motor.


Why transformer coupled amplifier is more efficient than RC coupled amplifier?

an RC coupled amplifier is basically used for voltage amplification , where the circuit currents are quite low. higher currents & voltages would mean more dissipation in the load resistors , which is essentially very lossy . The coupling amplitude to the next stage is ideally the same as the previous stage signal excursion. However if a transformer is used for coupling , both large voltages & current can be handled without incurring the dissipation of a resistive load. Moreover a coupling gain of the transformer primary to secondary ratio is also a bonus. also because of the possiblity of correct impedance matching on the primary & secondary side maximum power coupling is obtained. hence transformer coupling is more efficient in such applications. in high frequency applications transformer coupling , along with tuned circuits as applicable is the choice circuit.


What is a electric transformer?

A combination of inductors coupled together by high mutual inductances. Or more simply several coils wound together on the same armature.


How dc supply is applied to field coil in a brush less alternator?

Through a coupled inductor, similar to a transformer, but working on DC instead of AC.

What is a signal transformer?

Transformers are devices that use the principle of coupled magnetic fields to step voltage up or down, or provide DC isolation in circuits. A signal transformer is a special application of a transformer that is used to couple a signal from one circuit into another circuit. The signal might be stepped up (or amplified), or it might be stepped down, or it might be coupled without an increase or decrease simply to provide isolation, impedance matching, or phase shifting from stage to stage in an electronic device.


Why differential relay is not used for 11kv transformers?

It depends what you mean by an '11-kV transformer'; do you mean a primary transformer (33/11-kV transformer) or a distribution transformer (11-kV/400-230-V transformer). Differential protection IS offered on primary transformers.
