The neutral of a transformer is usually grounded. Under this situation, this question is the same as asking whether you can apply a voltage to ground; the answer is yes, but I don't know why you'd want to.

Sometimes transformer neutrals are insulated away from ground. If this is done, then you could inject "backwards" from the neutral up into the transformer. Again, I don't know why you would want to do this, though.

Voltage across Neutral and earth for a 3 phase auto transformer?

A grounded neutral will be at earth potential. A floating neutral will be at a voltage dependent upon the voltage imbalance between phases, and the design of the transformer.


Why is a high dc voltage applied to a transformer for testing?

A high dc voltage would be applied to test the insulation between the windings.


What happen if you apply triangular input to transformer?

there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils


How voltage is measured in potential transformer?

By connecting a voltmeter across the secondary terminals of the voltage/potential transformer. The transformer acts to reduce the voltage applied to its primary winding, while electrically-isolating the primary (usually high-voltage) circuit from the voltmeter.


What mean by va in current transformer?

Its simply multiplication of voltage applied and current.


You can use neutral to autotransformer?

Yes, but the transformer must have both the hot and neutral to work as designed. A auto-transformer is not a variable resistor that could reduce current/voltage by a change in the resistance which could be used in the hot and or neutral wire. An auto-transformer is designed to have the hot wire and neutral on each end of the winding with a variable tap in between. The resistance of the transformer and the inductance will effect the circuit to a limited way if placed in the neutral but this effect will not vary the voltage over the full range, the amount of voltage reduction will vary with the load's current draw, see ohms law. Neither a resistor or a auto-transformer connected in the neutral line only will increase the voltage above the level of the input like a correctly connected auto-transformer . Stanley

Is mutual flux in transformer constant for all loads?

The flux is set by the voltage applied to the transformer. In most applications, the voltage is constant, and therefore the flux is constant also.


How do wall transformers work?

Just like any other transformer - voltage is applied to one winding, which induces a magnetic field in the transformer core, which induces a voltage on the other winding.


What is meant by rated voltage?

the voltage which is mainly applied to primary side of the transformer is called rated voltage.Answer'Rated voltage' is the nominal voltage at which an electrical device has been designed to operate.


HOW do I SELECT A STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER?

By looking to the number of turns in the Primary and Secondary Coils. "A Step down transformers are designed to reduce electrical voltage. Their primary voltage is greater than their secondary voltage. This kind of transformer "steps down" the voltage applied to it."


How do you reduce neutral and earth voltage up to 0 volts?

If you are reading a voltage it is the drop across the resistance to ground. To get rid of the voltage get the resistance lower. This can be accomplished by installing more ground rods to the grounding system. Utility companies usually like 3 ohms to ground or less.
