What else can I help you with?
Why will or won't a transformer operate on AC?
transformer will work on ac
Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?
A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.
Is transformer work without freqency?
No. A transformer has to have AC, alternating current, to work. And since it's alternating, it'll have a frequency.
Transformer are used in circuits containing both dc and ac?
No transformers only work with AC.
Which type of current does a transformer work with?
A transformer works with alternating current (AC). The primary coil of the transformer is connected to an AC power source, which creates a changing magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary coil.
If DC is applied to the primary of a transformer is there any current in the secondary and if there is then whether ac or DC?
first, understand that a transformer is an AC DEVICE. it wont work on dc...
Can you substitute 12V. AC 40va Transformer for 12V. AC 1000ma. Home service-out door fountain?
Yes, the output current of a 40va transformer at 12 volts is 3.33 amps. The replaced unit had an output of 1 amp making it a 12va transformer. By doing this exchange there will be three times the capacity of the new transformer over the old transformer.
How are is a transformer and a rectifier different?
A transformer changes the VOLTAGE of AC current (AC to AC). A rectifier changes AC to DC.
How does auto transformer work with DC supply?
Transformers don't work with DC supplies - they only work on AC.
What powers the flash in a camera?
One or more batteries or a voltage converter/transformer unit plugged into an AC outlet.
Why doesn't an AC appliance operate on DC?
Anything with a transformer in it will not work on DC because the transformer will draw enough current to blow the fuse (or catch fire) because transformers must always have a changing voltage. A simple heater will work on AC or DC. Appliances with most types of motor will only work on AC.
Why do you obtain more dc voltage than ac voltage in power supply design by using transformer?
You don't. Transformers only work with AC voltage. Their input will be an AC waveform, and their output will be an AC waveform. Other electronics are used to convert the stepped down AC waveform from the transformer to DC.
