Transformers operate on the inductance principle; they need a changing magnetic field to induce a voltage into the secondary winding. Either you must supply a changing magnetic field to one winding, or supply that winding with DC and move the core (like in a microphone).

Why transformer can not be used in dc supply?

The transformer cannot be used in the DC supply because it keeps on alternating its current, whereas the DC supply current should be constant.


How dc supply is applied to field coil in a brush less alternator?

Through a coupled inductor, similar to a transformer, but working on DC instead of AC.


Why doesn't transformer work on a DC supply?

to have transformer action there should be an alternating magnetic flux.but dc supply cannot produce alternating flux.


What happens if dc supply is connected to incomer of transformer?

If a DC supply is connected to the incomer of a transformer, you effectively have a short circuit, because the DC impedance of a transformer (actually, any inductor) is quite low. You will blow something.

What happens if a dc supply is given to a transformer under no load?

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...........


Can you use transformer for DC supply?

No. Only Transformer could not be used for DC supply.If yoy need to have DC out put,then rectifier unit required .


What will happen if transformer are connected to dc supply?

It will get core saturation


What does filter do in a transformer?

A transformer does not use a filter. You may be asking about the use of a filter in a power supply. A power supply uses a filter to change pulsating DC from the rectifier into smooth DC for the circuits that the power supply powers.


Can you step up or step down the DC voltage by a transformer?

You need alternating current for a transformer, for DC you would have to interrupt the power supply to make it effectively DC pulses.


How dc supply is given to transformer used in push pull amplifiers?

The dc is supplied via a centre-tap on the transformer. This ensures zero dc net flux in the transformer core, which enables a much smaller core to be used.


Why transformer not working in dc supply?

Because it is only possible to have a voltage in the secondary winding when the current in the primary is changing. This is why only alternating current can be used for transformers.
