Can a transformer work using dc?

Answer 1

no. because if we use dc source for transformer there will be no production of energy for the secondary side since they are mutually conducted, as the transformer is a static device which can transmite the energy from one circuit to other with out changing the frequency and also there is no movement of the conductors. in order to produce the emf there should be either conductor movement or moving flux so the dc source will produce constant field flux hence there is no production of energy in the secondary side.

Answer 2

A: Transformers are not an DC components. For them to work properly must have an alternating source. What happens if you put DC into either primary or secondary depends on the DC source power output capabilities and the transformer wire DC resistance. It becomes I x V -watts so if the source is not capable to supply the power nothing happens if however the source is capable to provide enough power the wire itself will become hot until the wire melts it is a proposition of power dissipation of the transformer itself

Answer 3

It's possible in principle, but it would be much more complicated than the traditional transformer. Basically you would have to convert the DC to AC, use a traditional transformer to change the voltage, then convert the current back to DC again.

Answer 4

You would short out the DC supply, as a transformer, or coil is a short to DC.

Answer 5

You can, but it will short out the main and destroy the transformer! Transformers only work with alternating current.

Answer 6

no,we cant use transformer in dc, but we can change the dc with help of switch (pulsating DC ) and connected to transformer. it will work

Answer 7

Overloaded DC supply, fuses fail, possible smoke.

Answer 8

NO
