Why does a transformer blow the circuit breaker on the primary side if it is not connected to a load on the secondary side?

A normal transformer should not blow the primary side breaker when it is not connected to a load on the secondary. If it does, something is wrong. Check for shorted or burned windings. Make sure that it is indeed disconnected from the load - it might still be connected to something that is also presenting a fault.


Is a transformer load inductive or capacitive?

A transformer is fundamentally a set of coils; therefore, a transformer is an inductive load. However, by "transformer load", you seem to mean "the load that is connected to a transformer". Whether that load is inductive or capacitive depends mostly on what is hooked up to the transformer.


The primary winding in a transformer is connected to the what?

The primary winding of a transformer is connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load.


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

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.


Difference between off load transformer and on load transformer?

Hope this helpsAn "OFF-Load tap transformer" can only have it's tap adjusted when it is De-energized,while the "On-Load tap transformer" can adjust its tap under load conditions.Kind RegardsHammad KhanUniversity of Western AustraliaAnswerAn 'off load' transformer is one whose secondary is open circuited, and not supplying a load. An 'on load' (not 'load') transformer is one that is connected to a load.

What is the load side of a transformer?

The load side of a transformer feeds the device, such as a light or motor. It is the output of the transformer. The input, or line side, provides the voltage that is to be transformed, either up or down, to supply the load side.AnswerA transformer's primary winding is connected to the supply voltage, and the secondary winding is connected to the load.


Why load is always connected to secondary of transformer?

b'coz at the secondary side large amount of current flow by recarding of active component or other ckt. which is connected to the secondary side so that ckt. is not damage or burned by flowing large amount .. load is connected at the secondary side .AnswerThe 'primary' winding of a transformer is, by definition, whichever winding is connected to the supply, whereas the 'secondary' winding is whichever winding is connected to the load. This does not mean that a load MUST be connected to a transformer, as it will work 'off load' -that is, with no load connected- without any harm.


How you can check load connected of transformer?

Measure the current and voltage on the secondary side.

Why instruments are connected on low voltage side of the transformer while performing no load test?

since we need to get desired or rated voltage, so if it is connected in high voltage side of the transformer, voltage supply will be more, and hence the current will be more than the required amount. this is the reason why the instruments re connected at the low voltage of the transformer while performing no load test.

Why in no load test transformer is connected on low voltage side?

A no-load test is done with the normal supply connected in the way the transformer is intended to be used. It is also known as an open-circuit test to distinguish it from a short-circuit test, and its purpose is to measure the power loss in the iron core of the transformer and the no-load current drawn from the supply.


How can you distinguish the primary from secondaty side on a transformer?

Whichever winding is connected to the supply is the primary winding; whichever winding is connected to the load is the secondary winding.

What is the minimum load have to go for a new transformer?

All transformers have a power rating given in kVA which determine the maximum load that can be connected to that transformer.
