A: Transformer by itself goes not alter the phases the output can be in phase or out of phase depending how you look at it.

What mean by va in current transformer?

Its simply multiplication of voltage applied and current.


What is the main different between the power transformer and voltage transformer?

Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.


Why LV side is shorted in short circuit test?

Transformer short circuit tests are used to determine the impedances (positive and zero sequence) of the transformer. A simple explanation: to do this one winding is shorted, and voltage is applied to another winding to circulate the normal full load current of the transformer. The impedance of the transformer is the applied voltage divided by the induced current. If one winding was not shorted, the voltage divided by induced current would not give the impedance of the transformer - the induced current would be much lower, giving a much higher impedance measurement that would be essentially meaningless.


Why transformer rating is not given in kw?

Transformer rating is based on the maximum temperature a transformer can run at. This temperature is dictated by the amount of current flowing through the transformer windings. This is why transformers are rated in KVA (voltage * current), not kW - it doesn't matter what the phase relationship is between voltage and current, just the magnitude of the current.


When a larger voltage is applied to a conductor does the current increase or decrease?

If you increase the voltage applied to a conductor, the current increases.That is, unless you are talking about stepping up the voltage with a transformer with the intent of distributing it over a long distance to a remote transformer, at which point you would step it back down. In this case, the current would decrease. The above answer to the original question remains valid, however, due to lack of information.

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.


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 is meant by rated voltage rated current and rated power of a transformer?

The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.


What is the difference between a current transformer and a voltage transformer?

A current transformer step downs the current in a power circuit to a lower amperage. A voltage transformer steps down the voltage in a power circuit, typically to 110 volts AC for residential and business use.

Can a constant dc current can induce a steady state voltage in a transformer?

No, the current has to change for a voltage to be induced in the transformer.


How does a transformer work you mean how does it reduce current and increase the voltage you have tried the math this doesnt make any sense?

A transformer has a primary (Where the AC supply voltage is applied); and a secondary where a voltage is induced by a fluctuating magnetic field in the iron core of the transformer. The secondary voltage depends on the ratio of windings between the primary and secondary. Since the transformer can't manufacture power the product of the voltage and current at the primary exceeds that in the secondary. So if the transformer steps up the voltage in the secondary, the maximum current in the secondary must decrease. Similarly if the voltage is stepped down the maximum current increases in the secondary. There are always losses in this process so the power in is always somewhat less than power out.

A transformer can only the voltage of an alternating current?

A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
