Answer

'Transformer action' describes the process by which a voltage is induced into a secondary winding, due to a changing magnetic flux, created by an alternating current flowing through the primary winding, which links the two windings.

Why you are indicating capacity of transformer in KVA?

transformer action doesn't depend on power factor that is why we indicate its rating in KVA


Does the transformer oil possess any medicinal property especially in relieving joint or rheumatic pain If so what is the solid scientific background?

Oils are frequently used in medicine but transformer oil is strictly meant only for transformers.


What is meant by rated voltage rated current and rated power of a transformer?

The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.


What is center tap transformer?

Center tap transformer is the such kind of transformer that is made to a point half way along a winding of a transformer.


What is meant by transformer charging?

Most likely this is referring to the initial inrush that occurs when a transformer is energized. The core of a transformer is designed for a specific magnetic field strength; When a transformer is switched into a circuit, it usually will not be switched at exactly a voltage peak. When the voltage is at its' peak, the induced magnetic field will be at zero. If the switching occurs at a voltage zero, the magnetic field strength will attempt to climb to double the designed value; since the transformer core is not generally oversized to this degree, it will saturate. This causes large inflows of current to the transformer, and shows up as even harmonics (mainly second harmonics) in the current waveform. This settles out within a few seconds (generally) to a small energizing current, usually less than 1% of the transformer's rated current.

Why transformer action can take place in DC circuit?

Not clear what your question is. First of all, circuits are not classified as DC and AC. Circuits are what they are, and you can apply either AC or DC to any circuit. However, considering a circuit that was designed only for use with DC applied. Still your question is unclear. What is transformer action? "Transformer Action" happens in a transformer.

What is meant by induction machine?

An induction motor is so-called because the currents circulating in the machine's rotor are due to voltages induced into the rotor conductors through 'transformer action' from the field windings located on the stator. In other words, there is no external electrical supply to the rotor which, instead, behaves in a similar manner to the secondary winding of a transformer.


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.
