If current Transformers are connected in parallel, they will superpose and supply a high current.

EDIT:

I suppose you drive the transformer with a voltage source.

By the way, it depends how you connect the transformers:

A - primary side in parallel and two independent loads at the output

B - primary sides in parallel and secondary sides in parallel

Say turns ratio is Np:Ns, then for each transformer you have

Vp/Np=Vs/Ns, Np*Ip=Ns*Is.

IE If Np=N, Ns=1, you have a voltage step down transformer

(Vs=Vp/n, Is=N*Ip)

A: You will impose the same secondary voltage to each load, that is Vs=Vp/N.

Input current is the sum of each output load multiplied by transformer turns ratio. If the two transformers have M and N turns ratio, you have Iin = M Is1 + N Is2 (Is1=Is2 only if loads are identical)

This architecture is used in modular / redundant systems.

B: Theoretically, it's like having a single transformer. In practice, I have never seen it. What you do is to split the current in two different cores, so that your losses will be lower for each core. That *could be handy if you wanna use ferrites which are undersized for your application and you don't want to buy a new one.

What will happen if the transformers working in parallel are not connected with regard to polarity?

when two transformer are connected in parallel condition,and the polarity of transformer are opposite to each other then a large circulating current flow through out the winding,therefore a very small current flow thro, the load .therefore lifespan of transformer will be reduced.


What will happen if transformer are connected to dc supply?

It will get core saturation


What will happen if two dc sources are connected in parallel?

IF two dc sources are connected in parallel, the one with the highest potential dominates the circuit.


What will happen to lights connected in parallel when of the lights is busted?

Nothing will happen to the rest of the lights if they are connected in paralell. If they are connected in series when one light is broken all of the lights go out.


What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?

the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.


What usually happens at consumer end when the current carrying capacity of transformer is exceeded?

What should happen is that the circuit-breaker should trip to cut off the current before the transformer becomes damaged by overheating.


What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?

Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.


What happen when power transformer design for 50 Hz were connected to a 5 Hz source of the same voltage?

as frequency is reduced current gets increased winding gets heated.current goes up.voltage gets dropped.power also gets dropped.


What will happen if you pass AC current through a transformer?

If the transformer was designed for the specific frequency in use, it will step up or down voltage and current as it was designed to do. Transformers transform how power "looks" by increasing and decreasing voltage and current, while keeping power output equivalent to input (if you ignore the transformer losses).


What happen if 4 resistor is connected in parallel and resistor 1 is connected as short circuit?

I'd have to see a diagram, as your description in words is unclear.


What happen when 220v dc is applied to a 220v ac single phase transformer?

The current would rise until it blows the fuse or breaker and that would produce an arc as the transformer's inductance tries to maintain the current.


What will happen to the two lights in a parallel circuit when one of the wires is disconnected?

If one of the wires in a parallel circuit is disconnected, the two lights will remain lit because each light has its own separate path for current flow. This is because in a parallel circuit, the components are connected across the same voltage source but have individual branches for current to flow.
