For all intents and purposes, none. Transformers pass alternating current. Now, if you want to split hairs, when a direct current is initially connected to a transformer, magnetic field starts to build in the primary windings, and as this field builds, the lines of force cut through the secondary windings, MOMENTARILY producing an output voltage in the secondary windings. However, once the magnetic field is stable (within a millisecond or so) the output of the secondary windings fall back to zero. When you remove the direct current from the primary winding, the same thing happens again. As the magnetic field collapses, the magnetic lines of flux cut through the secondary, momentarily producing an output voltage. After the magnetic field collapes completely, the secondary output is zero. That is basically what you are doing with alternating current...inputting a positive voltage, then going to zero, then negative, then back to zero, building and collapsing magnetic fields so that it induces current to flow in the secondary windings.
What else can I help you with?
Why cant you use a transformer to increase the voltage of a 60V solar panel?
The output of a solar panel is direct current. Transformers need alternating current to operate.
Would you expect to find an alternating or direct current in the secondary coil of a transformer?
An Alternating Voltage is induced in the secondary winding. When connected to an external load, you will have an alternating current.
What type of transformer connection can be used when it is necessary to rectify alternating current into direct current with a minimum of ripple?
bride transformer
What type of current is used in mobile charger?
THe mbile charger takes a.c (alternating current) from power source and convers it to d.c(direct current) and feds it to mobile battery. The charger also steps down the voltage from the power line voltage 110v etc to very small voltages e.g3 v etc.
Which device would be located between the secondary coil of high-voltage transformer and X-Ray tube?
The device located between the secondary coil of a high-voltage transformer and the X-ray tube is typically a rectifier. The rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) output from the transformer into direct current (DC), which is necessary for the operation of the X-ray tube. This ensures stable and efficient operation, allowing for consistent X-ray production.
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.
Can dc current work on transformer?
Transformer is by definition can transform only AC current. But it's possible to build device that can step up or step down DC voltage directly. These are called DC-DC converters not transformers.
What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifier Which are found in a PC power supply?
A transformer is a device that changes the level of an a.c. voltage, while a rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current.
How do you test chopper transformer?
A chopper transformer is a kind of transformer used in an switching power supply.The primary input voltage of it is a Direct current (D.C) unlike any other ordinary step down transformer which uses an Alternating Current (A.C).Chopper transformer uses a switching transistor to produce a secondary voltage..
Why are most chargers very inefficient?
Voltage must be changed by a transformer, and the alternating current changed to direct current by diodes. Each step has a loss of energy.
Why cant you use a transformer to increase the voltage of a 60V solar panel?
The output of a solar panel is direct current. Transformers need alternating current to operate.
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).
4 What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifier Which are found in a PC power supply?
A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current. A transformer is a device that changes the ratio fo current to voltage. A rectifier is found in a PC power supply.
Would you expect to find an alternating or direct current in the secondary coil of a transformer?
An Alternating Voltage is induced in the secondary winding. When connected to an external load, you will have an alternating current.
The difference between a transfer and a rectifier?
A transformer is basically used to step up or step down the main power supply. The rectifier is used to convert an alternating current (AC) or voltage to direct current (DC) or voltage.
Can the transformer work on direct current?
No. It need an alternating current to induce current into the secondary winding. It needs an expanding and collapsing magnetic field to bring about this induction. The only time you get this phenomena in DC is when the current is turned on and again when the current is turned off.
Can transform works on dc?
no they cannot,tansformers requires change of electromagnetic field,on Direct current there is no change so the transformer cannot create field and transfer energy
