An ideal transformer (one with no losses, and not a bad approximation for the real thing) has an input power equal to its output power. In simple terms, since power is the product of voltage and current, then for a given value of power, as the voltage goes up, the corresponding current will go down.
If the voltage drop is excessive, it is a sign that the circuit conductors may be undersized. Better to install larger conductors. If you try to use a transformer, under light loads the voltage will rise to unacceptable levels, possibly damaging equipment.
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
If this refers to a wire wound transformer, as it sounds then there is likely only two possibilities : the input voltage has dropped prier to entering the primary windings or there is a short in the windings some where within.The only other possibility I can think of is : This is a trick question and the transformer is a step down transformer.
A transformer will operate with a voltage regulation of zero when it is not supplying a load.
depending on the amount of the load of transformer as well as the power factor of it, there is a transformer specific voltage drop at its terminals, due to the internal impedances. The on-load tap changer can / will be used to compensate this voltage drop or rise.
The purpose of a transformer is to transform one voltage to another voltage. This can be in the configuration of stepping up the voltage or stepping down the voltage . The load is what establishes what the current from the transformer is going to be.
The lower the impedance, the lower the voltage drop across the transformer as it is loaded. This means regulation is better, since voltage variance is smaller.
If the voltage drop is excessive, it is a sign that the circuit conductors may be undersized. Better to install larger conductors. If you try to use a transformer, under light loads the voltage will rise to unacceptable levels, possibly damaging equipment.
Reduce the primary voltage and the secondary will also drop.
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
In perfect condition, the voltage variations does not occur.. Due to failure causes, voltage variations will arise
To avoid voltage drop in the coil.
No. A step-down transformer's secondary voltage is lower than its primary voltage. The secondary current is determined by the load, and this causes a higher current in the primary winding.
The dielectric strenght of a transformer represents the maximum voltage permissible to apply across the transformer insulation i.e. between the transformer winding to another part of the transformer, normally the chassis or another winding and without break-down of the insulation ocurring (e.g. arcing). The breakdown voltage of a transformer represents a voltage that exceeds its dielectric strenght and that causes breakdown e.g. arcing across the insulation.
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
