AC current or DC current can be used in Transformers. A transformer is made of two coils of wire, the input coil induces a current into the output coil. Transformers change the voltage either up (step up transformer) or down (step down transformer). The amount of change in voltage is dependent solely on the number of windings in both coils in the transformer. DC transformers work exactly the same way AC transformers do.

What type of current must be used with a transformer?
DC current cannot be used in a transformer only AC will work. A transformer needs the continual build and collapse of the magnetic field to keep the iron core from reaching saturation. Only alternating current will transfer power through a transformer.
What is a static transformer?
It's a transformer that operates with AC current in and out. It's an ordinary transformer, with the term "static" used to differentiate it from rotating transformers, such as motor-generator sets.
What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifer?
A transformer is used to change the value of a voltage applied to the transformer's primary winding to a different voltage value taken from the transformers secondary winding. A rectifier is used to change an alternating current value to a direct current value.
Why the output voltage from a transformer is zero if a direct current flows through the primary coil?
A transformer relies on AC current flowing through the primary to set up changing magnetic fields in the core. The field flows through the core and in to the secondary of the transformer, generating an AC current. The current must be AC, otherwise the magnetic field in the core of the transformer will saturate. In the same way, the armature of a dynamo or alternator must be moving in order to create a changing magnetic field to create current through the windings.
What is the difference between control transformer and Potential transformer?
Control transformer used only for control supply 110,220, 24,12V AC. But Potential transformer used voltage measurement purpose.
Explain differancnce between instrument current transformer and measuring current transformer?
Current transformer is a device used to measure the flow of current through a power system and the measured current is inputted to a protective relay system. It is used to detect system malfunction. Current transducer is a device used to measure AC and DC current based on the halt-effect technology.
How are is a transformer and a rectifier different?
A transformer changes the VOLTAGE of AC current (AC to AC). A rectifier changes AC to DC.
Which type of current does a transformer work with?
A transformer works with alternating current (AC). The primary coil of the transformer is connected to an AC power source, which creates a changing magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary coil.
What type of current must be used with a transformer?
DC current cannot be used in a transformer only AC will work. A transformer needs the continual build and collapse of the magnetic field to keep the iron core from reaching saturation. Only alternating current will transfer power through a transformer.
What does a step-down transformer do to the electrical current?
A step-down transformer lowers the voltage of an AC current. The higher AC current is put through one side and the other side the lower AC current is delivered.
What is a static transformer?
It's a transformer that operates with AC current in and out. It's an ordinary transformer, with the term "static" used to differentiate it from rotating transformers, such as motor-generator sets.
Why diodes are used after center tapped transformer in dc to ac inverter?
Diodes are used after a center-tapped transformer in a DC to AC inverter to rectify the alternating current (AC) output of the transformer into pulsating direct current (DC). This rectified voltage is then smoothed using filters to produce a more stable DC waveform. The diodes act as one-way valves, allowing current to flow in only one direction, thus converting the AC voltage into a pulsating DC voltage.
Can you amplify the AC in your data center using an AC transformer and how?
Yes, the AC current can be amplified by using Step-down transformers, but one problem is the AC voltage will decrease with Step-down transformer.
If DC is applied to the primary of a transformer is there any current in the secondary and if there is then whether ac or DC?
first, understand that a transformer is an AC DEVICE. it wont work on dc...
Does a transformer rectify the alternating current?
No, a transformer changes the ac to a voltage that the user requires. After that a rectifier can be connected to it to provide dc.
Is transformer work without freqency?
No. A transformer has to have AC, alternating current, to work. And since it's alternating, it'll have a frequency.
Does a transformer convert AC to DC?
No, a transformer does not change AC to DC. For this purpose there is a device known as a rectifier, and to transform it back to AC from DC you'll need an inverter. Transformers are only useful with AC due to the alternating waveform which induces a voltage in the secondary winding (when it is connected to a load).
