Transformer or instrument transformer. It can increase and decrease current output.
Output voltage (...of a transformer, for example...) will decrease as it is loaded because of the transformer's internal resistance. As output current increases/load resistance decreases, a larger voltage will be dropped across the internal transformer resistance. This same phenomenon is present in AC and DC systems (such as batteries).
It indicate how well the input transformer is being utilized. It is given by the ratio of DC output power to the AC power rating of Transformer.
No! A transformer changes voltage levels, not power levels. In fact, the output power of a transformer is actually a little lower than its input power, due to the efficiency of a transformer.
Adding a DC voltage to the secondary of a transformer will not have an effect on the primary side, as transformers work on the principle of electromagnetic induction which is based on alternating current. The primary side of the transformer will still operate based on the input AC voltage of 220V. The DC voltage on the secondary side will not be transferred to the primary side.
Transformer or instrument transformer. It can increase and decrease current output.
A transformer requires a changing input to generate an output.
A transformer alone cannot accomplish this. Transformers do not output DC directly, only AC. For DC output, additional components (rectifier, filter capacitor) are necessary. This would be properly called a DC power supply rather than just a transformer. To specify the proper power supply, you need at a minimum the input voltage (AC), the input frequency, the output voltage (DC), and the output current.
when dc supply is given to transformer at primary winding , the output at secondary winding will be zero.Because to induce voltage ,countnie changing flux is required ,that can not be obtained from dc supply...........
As long as the transformer is capable of 12 Volts DC output, you can use any transformer with HO scale equipment.
In DC, flow of current is controlled by resistance only where as in AC it is done by Impedance which is combination of Resistance , inductive and capacitive reactances.Reasons:In transformers resistance of the transformer's core windings are very low due to which if you will connect transformer across DC supply then it will draw a heavy current which will burn out is winding and it may damage the equipment too.Transformers works of the principal of Induction (Mutual/Self) that is possible in AC only because in DC there is no induction therefore even if transformer's windings anyhow withstand with DC there will be no voltage output at output terminals of the transformer, therefore it is useless to connect transformer on DC supply.
The output of a 12 volt transformer is an alternating current (AC). Your adapter is a 12 volt transformer but it has a built in half wave or, more expensive ones, a full wave bridge rectifier. What this rectifier does is change AC to DC. Bridge rectifiers are cheap to purchase. Connect it to the output of the 12 volt transformer and you will get a DC voltage. Great little project.
The DC output will be zero because transformers do not operate on DC there would be a slight peak when switched but then it would settle to zero. Transformers require a changing magnetic field to transfer power.

A DC to DC converter is a type of switching regulated powersupply whose input is a DC voltage, it then switches that rapidly to make AC, which is applied to the primary of a transformer, the transformer then either steps up or down the voltage as desired, the AC from the secondary is then rectified and filtered to provide the output DC voltage. Regulation circuitry measures the output DC voltage, continuously adjusting the switching circuits on the input to keep the output constant.Most switching regulated powersupplies are DC to DC converters with a simple unregulated rectifier and filter to convert the input AC to DC. Usually it is called a powersupply when it provides more than one output DC voltage or if its input is AC; whereas it is called a converter only if it provides just one output DC voltage and its input is DC. But most of the circuitry is the same in both cases.
