In D.C supply the transformer is not connected why?
In a DC power supply a transformer is connected. The only time there would be no transformer used would be if the DC voltage wanted was 120 VDC. The transformer in the power supply is connected to 120 VAC on the primary side and the secondary side of the transformer is connected to either a half wave or a full wave diode bridge. The voltage out of the diode bridge will be the same output voltage potential as the transformer's secondary voltage but it will be a DC (Direct Current) potential.Reading the question in another way, transformers are not connected in a DC circuit. The reason being is that the transformer operates on a collapsing magnetic field. This field induces a voltage into the secondary side of the transformer. Since the DC circuit does not operate on the principle of a collapsing field except when the circuit is opened, the transformer would not operate as a transformer should..
How do you test chopper transformer?
A chopper transformer is a kind of transformer used in an switching power supply.The primary input voltage of it is a Direct current (D.C) unlike any other ordinary step down transformer which uses an Alternating Current (A.C).Chopper transformer uses a switching transistor to produce a secondary voltage..
What is Thermosyphon in transformers?
Thermosyphon is an on line transformer oil filtration system having some absorbents and mounted in the flow line of transformer oil out side the main tank of transformer. In many industrially advanced countries this system is frequently used for bigger transformer of ONAN (Oil Natural Air Natural) or ONAF (Oil Natural Air Forced) cooled. Although some Indian transformer manufacturers are aware about it however there are some grey areas like type and quantity of absorbent, design of thermosyphon fixture, maintenance schedule and doubt about dissolution of absorbent with oil, etc. Reduces cost incurred on frequent filtration of transformer oil. For example a power transformer having 20 K litre transformer oil the life of the transformer oil is 25 years; by mounting thermosyphon life increases by 5 more years without any significant additional cost.
How much does a transformer cost?
Depending on their physical size, turns ratio, core material, design frequency of operation, and power handling capability, transformers typically cost somewhere between pennies and thousands of dollars.
Why do transformers blow up and cause power outages?
TOO MUCH VOLTAGE, INCLIMATE WEATHER (Snow, heavy Rain, ice etc) down powerlines and trees...something touches it. DO NOT TOUCH TRANSFORMER THOUGH!
What happens to a transformer when it is first connected to a power line Can anything be done to mitigate this problem?
If rating is correct, terminal connections are correct, if safety devices are in place, if device is a standard with necessary requrement, it should not be problem to connect a transformer first time.
What happens when a light bulb is connected to the output coil of the transformer?
Assuming that the voltage rating of the lamp matches the rated secondary voltage of the transformer, the lamp will operate at its rated power.
What is the load of a step down transformer for 40HP?
Hi, First understand one thing seriously!! The transformer only can be rated in KVA. Bcoz, its power factor not depends on the load connected.
What happens to a 220v 50hz stereo amplifier when connected to a 220v 60hz supply?
Nothing happens. The stereo has a transformer that converts the power to DC, and 50 or 60 Hz input makes no difference.
What is the result when 3 kva power requirement is being supplied by 250 kva transformer?
The result is that the transformer runs cool and contented. The '250 KVA' rating on the transformer is its maximum ability to transfer power from its input to its output without overheating, NOT an amount of power always running through it. If the 3 KVA load happens to be the only thing connected to the transformer at the time, then only 3 KVA flows into the transformer from the primary line, and only 3 KVA leaves the transformer secondary.
What is the minimum load have to go for a new transformer?
All transformers have a power rating given in kVA which determine the maximum load that can be connected to that transformer.

100 amps mccb trip when charged it is connected to small power transformer?
what is the fault in the transformer, it trips when it is charged.it is charged through the 100 amps MCCB.
Should you be on your MacBook when in storm?
If it's a lightning storm, Your laptop is powered by an inline transformer as part of the power cord so, in theory,if lightning hits your house it will destroy the transformer first before hitting your laptop.At the very least, in theory, if you lose power in any storm, a power surge from the power being turned back on hits your transformer and destroys it first and not get as far as the laptop.Either way you can't be hurt from a storm just by using your laptop if your NOT connected to the power cord if your in your house or building.
What happens when load is given to primary side of a transformer?
The Load will consume part of the power and therefore reduce the current (voltage ) available for the secondary part of the transformerAnswerYou cannot apply a load to the primary of a transformer which, by definition, is the winding connected to the supply voltage. Your question makes no sense.
What is a main distributors service cable and what is it connected to when first enering a build?
The main supply will first come from the power company to a transformer to reduce the voltage then from the transformer to the weatherhead then through the house meter to the main disconnect on the outside of building then to the switchgears main. The cable coming from the transformer to the meter and to the top of the main disconnect is the Main service cable
Why does the television need to be connected to the isolation transformer before it is connected to the power source?
Television sets do not need to be connected to isolation transformers for normal operation. However, most modern sets do not have power transformers, which means they run directly off of the line. In that case, you do need an isolation transformer to protect yourself from electrocution during repair.
