It is reverse. when load current in the secondary changes the primary current also changes directly. Load current is dependent on the load.

I am assuming that the question is related to a normal distribution transformer.

Does transformers draw any current when secondary is open?

-Yes, the transformer draw current when secondary open. Because, the secondary of the transformer is open, the primary draws only no-load current, which will have some copper loss. Therefore, power is no longer transferred from primary to secondary in this approximation, and negligible current goes through the secondary windings.Some current will flow through the primary as well as secondary to magnetise the core to maintain the internet relaship between primary &secondary winding as the winding consist of small resistance it is neglected practically hence the current will at at no load also which is small in magnitude compared to the full load current.Thta is why we says that transformer draws current when secondary is open.


Why current transformer secondary side short circuit?

A current transformer (or CT) is constructed in a specific way so as to step down the current in a high power circuit for measuring or protective relaying purposes. Typically, it will have a toroidal-shaped iron core with the secondary windings wrapped around it. the primary "winding" is usually the conductor of the main power system passing directly through the hole in the center of the CT. As a result of this construction, if the secondary windings are left open, a very large flux can develop, resulting in damage to the CT and possibly even the other equipment it is attached to. As such, if the CT is not going to be used, its secondary windings need to be shorted.


How can change in the voltage of a transformers primary cool create a change in a secondary coils voltage?

The turns ratio determines how the transformer transforms the voltage and current applied to the primary winding (I'm labelling as '1'). Here are some equations: N1 / N2 = turns ratio V2 = V1 * (N2 / N1) I2 = I1 * (N1/ N2)


Is CT use high or low voltage and if it depends on application or not?

A current transformer (CT) is used to reduce a load current to a value that can be read by conventional instruments such as ammeters and wattmeters; it also enables the instruments to be located remotely. In the case of high-voltage circuits, a CT also electrically-isolates its burden (secondary load) from the primary circuit.


How do you calculate the conductor size as per the current rating?

transformer rating is not measured based on current..it is also caliculated based on voltage.............ther main losses in a transformer are copper losses and core losses........cu losses mainly depend on voltage and core losses mainly depend on current..........thats why we measure the rating of transformer in KVA(kilo volt ampere)..................

When the transformer is connected to the power source the secondary current is 0 what is the possible fault in the transformer?

A secondary current of 0 would suggest to me that the secondary circuit is open. A normally operating circuit with zero current flow would be very unusual. No load in secondary circuit. No secondary current can also be attributed to the primary power source open or an open primary winding.

Fundamental principle of current transducer?

The basic principle of current transformer is same as that of the power transformer. Like the power transformer current transformer also contains a primary and a secondary winding. Whenever an alternating current flows through the primary winding alternating magnetic flux is produced, which then induces alternating current in the secondary winding. In case of current transformers the load impedance or "burden" is very small. Therefore the current transformer operates under short circuit conditions. Also the current in the secondary winding does not depend load impedance but depends on the current flowing in the primary winding.


Can a flyback transformer be powered by nothing but a car battery and wires?

A transformer is an AC device in that it requires a changing current to be input in order to see an output. Attaching a 12V battery to the primary side of the transformer will generate a voltage on the secondary for a short amount of time. Once the primary current has risen to a stable level, there will be no output voltage on the secondary. There will also be voltages on the secondary and the primary when the battery is disconnected from the transformer. A flyback transformer relies on an AC current at the primary to generate a high voltage at the secondary output. Circuitry to make changes to the primary current will be needed in addition to the battery. Warning: removing the battery from the primary winding of the transformer is liable to generate a very high voltage across the primary coil as well as the secondary. In some cases, they can be lethal. Do not experiment with transformers unless you are properly qualified and supervised.


What is The operation of Current Transformer?

CT together with a ammeter is used to measure the current in high current or high voltage circuit, where a normal ammeter can not be connected in series in such high voltage or high current circuits. It is a secondary winding (like in transformer) wound on a single core primary wire and relative secondary current reperesnets the primary current. CT are also used protection purposes. Basic principle of CT i same either for metring or protection.


Are geese secondary consumers?

Ducks are both primary and secondary consumers. They eat plats, making them primary. They also eat animals that eat plants, making them secondary. To answer the question, secondary.


Why secondry of current transformer should not be open?

A current transformer will always attempt to push a ratio of the primary current through the secondary. So if there is primary current flowing, and you open circuit the secondary, the CT will attempt to build up voltage to the point where the correct amount of secondary current can flow through the open circuit (meaning you will get an arc). If it succeeds, you'll have a bright light, and some melted copper, and a very startled person who was unfortunate enough to open circuit the CT. This high voltage can also damage or ruin the CT.


What is primary and secondary scources?

Primary Source: a firsthand account, also something written by someone who was there. Secondary source: a secondhand account also something written by someone who was not there.


Is current ratio of transformer constant on loads?

the current ratio I1/I2 is a constant for all loads. the total current drawn on the secondary winding of a transformer depends on the total circuit impedance as seen by the transformer output terminals. considering that the power in primary is equal to the power in the secondary and is a constant (assuming no losses as per the principle of conservation of energy). The input voltage(primary) is a constant i.e equal to the primary distribution line voltage, and the secondary distribution line voltage is also operated at a constant value. therefore KVA(primary) = KVA( secondary) V1I1=V2I2 I1/I2 =V2/V1 which is a constant irrespective of the load.


What is the differences between a primary and a secondary consumer?

A primary consumer is an animal that gets all its energy from vegetation. It is also called an herbivore.A secondary consumer is an animal that eats the primary consumers. It is also called a carnivore.


What do you consume if your a secondary consumer?

It depends on the ecosystem, but a general statement could be: secondary consumers consume the primary consumers, who consume the primary producers. If the secondary consumers are omnivores, they can also be a part of the second (primary consumer) and third (secondary consumer) trophic levels.


If voltage remains constant and resistance decreases current flow?

the current will increase because of a lower level of resistance , hence more current will flow- easily
