What is the term for the transformer winding to which the load is connected?

∙ 9y ago
The load is connected to the transformer's secondarywinding, while the primary winding is connected to the supply. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', do NOT relate to voltage levels.

What are the primary winding and secondary winding of a transformer?
The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary' are unrelated to voltage levels.
What is shunt current and a armature current?
The terms 'shunt' and 'armature' apply to a particular type of d.c. motor, in which the field windings are connected in parallel with the armature windings. 'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel', so the term 'shunt', in this context, means that the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding. The terms 'shunt current' and 'armature current', then describe the currents flowing in the shunt winding and armature winding, respectively.
What is DC shunt motor?
A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC motor
What is the impedance of a transformer?
Impedance (Z) voltage is the amount of voltage applied to the primary side to produce full load current in the secondary side. It is usually listed on the transformer nameplate, expressed as a percent, and measured by conducting a short circuit test.
What is non isolation transformer?
I also have the same question. After some research, I understand that you cant just jump in and calculate this. You have to have alot of information about that spesific generator.I have found out that you can use some formulas from losses in transfomers.AnswerAll mutual transformers are isolation transformers in the sense that the secondary winding is electrically-isolated from the primary winding. However, this is not the case for an autotransformer where part of the winding is common to both primary and secondary circuits.So, to answer your question, an autotransformer is a 'non-isolation' transformer, although the term 'non-isolation' is not normally used.Read more: How_do_we_calculate_Power_generator_losses
What are the primary winding and secondary winding of a transformer?
The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary' are unrelated to voltage levels.
What is mean by burden of the current transformers?
The burden on a CT is the sum total impedance connected to the secondary - including the CT secondary winding coil resistance, lead resistance, and any loads attached (relays, meters, etc.).If this is for power calculations and CT saturation in three phase systems, remember you must multiply the lead resistance by two to get the total path resistance.Another AnswerWe use the word, 'burden', to describe the load supplied by the instrument transformer's secondary. This is normally a measuring instrument or protection relay. We use the word 'burden' to distinguish it from the 'load' supplied by the circuit to which the primary winding is connected.
What is the function of an electrical load of a circuit?
its the alternatingg currentAnswerA load is any device, or group of devices, that draws energy from an electrical supply.For examplethe filament of a flashlight is the load supplied by that flashlight's battery.a loudspeaker is the load supplied by an amplifier.your residence represents a load to your electricity supplier's distribution transformer. a whole geographical area represents the load supplied by the electricity grid.In another use of the term, we say that a generator or transformer is 'loaded' when it connected to a load, but is 'off-load' when it is operating but not connected to a load.
What is the different of induction transformer and automatic transformer?
Neither of these terms is normally applied to a transformer. You may be thinking of a 'mutual tranformer' and an 'autotransformer'. If so, then a 'mutual transformer' is a transformer which has electrically-isolated primary and secondary windings, whereas an 'autotranformer' (the term, 'auto', is misleading and has nothing to do with the transformer being 'automatic'!) has a common and series winding, meaning that the primary and secondary sides are electrically connected to each other.
What is VA burden in electrical engineering?
The term 'burden' is used to describe the secondary load applied to an instrument transformer; the reason for this is so that it is not confused with the 'load' supplied by the high-voltage circuit to which the transformer's primary is connected. A burden is either a measuring instruments (ammeter,voltmeter, wattmeter, etc.) or protective relay, depending on the function of the instrument transformer. 'V.A' is the symbol for 'volt ampere', which defines the 'power' rating of the instrument transformer.
What is shunt current and a armature current?
The terms 'shunt' and 'armature' apply to a particular type of d.c. motor, in which the field windings are connected in parallel with the armature windings. 'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel', so the term 'shunt', in this context, means that the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding. The terms 'shunt current' and 'armature current', then describe the currents flowing in the shunt winding and armature winding, respectively.
What does the term VA mean when applied to a control transformer?
VA refers to the effective load that is placed upon the Control Transformer (also known as Selection Inrush VA).
HOW TO CALCULATE THE IMPEDANCE FOR THE TRANSFORMER?
The term, 'percentage impedance', is a little misleading, as it is defined as 'the value of primary voltage that will cause rated current to flow in the secondary winding, expressed as a percentage of the rated primary voltage'. So, the test is carried out as follows: the secondary winding is short-circuited through an ammeter capable of reading the rated secondary current. A variable voltage is applied to the primary winding. The primary voltage is gradually increased until the ammeter indicates rated secondary current. That primary voltage is then expressed as a percentage of the rated primary voltage -and that value is the transformer's 'percentage impedance'.
What does the term primary side refer to?
The line side of a transformer that is connected to your source or incoming voltage that you are stepping up or down.
How the current and pressure coils of the wattmeer are connected in circuit to measure the power drawn by load?
The current coil is connected in series with the load. The voltage coil (the term, 'pressure coil' is rather archaic!) is connected in parallel with the load. The wattmeter's polarity markings must be taken into account, or the meter will read downscale (backwards).
What is DC shunt motor?
A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC motor
