No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current.

Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.

Why auto transformers are not used directly on dc circuits?

Transformers are not used on DC circuits because they rely on a varying magnetic field to transform power.


What is transformers job?

It depends on the type of transformer:transmission/distribution transformers step up or step down system voltagesisolation transformers electrically isolate two systems without affecting their voltagesmatching transformers are used in electronic circuits for impedance matchinginstrument transformers step down voltages (voltage transformers) or currents (current transformers) for measurement or protection applications


What are the functions of current transformers and the difference between current transformers and voltage transformers?

To sense the current flow across the current transformers and to monitor the current ratings. In current transformers no voltage variations occurs. but in voltage transformers it is mainly used to increase or decrease the voltage value.


What piece of equipment is used to produce electricity?

Some possible answers are: a battery (which produces direct current) or a generator of electricity generator, such as a dynamo (which produces direct current) or an alternator (which produces alternating current).


Can instrument transformers be used to extend the range of a moving coil voltmeter?

Not directly, as MC instruments are direct-current instruments, whereas instrument transformers only work on a.c.


Who would need to utilise current transformers?

A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.


Is direct electric current used in transformers?

no direct current is not used in transformers. the reason is that, if dc is used, there would be no counter emf to oppose it in the primary winding. since the constant flux will be flowing in the dc, there would be no rate of change of flux. as a result, the total current will be applied at the primary winding only. this results in the burning of the total primary winding. ===================================== The practical application is: If transformer input is DC, transformer output is smoke.


Can a current transformer be used for current amplify?

transformers cannot amplify!


Transformer are used in circuits containing both dc and ac?

No transformers only work with AC.


Where are circuits used?

Circuits are used anywhere you want to have an electrical current flow. Without a circuit, you cannot have current flow. Without current flow, you cannot do any work.


Why current transformers are used?

1) voltage level up-down2) voltage level down-up3) isolationAnswerBecause transmission would be impossible except at high voltages/low load currents due to enormous voltage drops that would otherwise occur, and these are achieved using Transformers..
