Skin effect is a physical effect that operates on thick conductors. In a transformer the conductors are usually too thin for any substantial skin effect to occur.

How does eddy current loss effect a transformer?

Eddy currents act to increase the temperature of a transformer's core above ambient temperature, resulting in a loss of energy through heat transfer -thus reducing its efficiency.


What are the Advantages of amorphous core for a transformer?

The following advantages are there: 1. Low hysteresis losses 2. Low eddy current losses 3. Skin-effect in core is low


If a dc voltage of 12v is added to the secondary of step down transformer and rating of transformer is 220 input and 12v output what will be the result from primary of 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.


What effect will a transformer have on alternating current?

A transformer will convert the power to a different voltage, higher or lower depending on the requirement, while wasting very little of the power.


What is skin effect and methods to reduce skin effect?

with the inductance of a conductor it tends to push current flow to the outsideto reduce the effect you make the conductor hollowwith 80 hz and Cu conductor the current is in the outer 8mm or so.AnswerYou cannot really reduce the skin effect in ordinary conductors; for the sake of economy, you can use tubular conductors. Tubular conductors do not reduce the skin effect, but merely saves copper (if little current flows towards the centre, why have a centre!). However, special, insulated, conductors ('litz' wire) woven or braided in various patterns, can be used for special applications (e.g. high-frequency transformer windings) up to around 1 MHz or so. Because each strand has a very small cross-sectional area, and is insulated from its adjacent conductors, the skin effect is negligible compared with if it were a solid conductor.

What happens if a 208VAC primary voltage is connected to a 240VAC stepdown transformer to 208VAC?

The transformer will act as a step down transformer in the ratio of 240 to 208. This will reduce the 208 input to 180.
