  • What will happen if we apply dc volt across transformer?

    Why we do not give DC supply in transformer means DC current is a direct current, so alternating flux is not produced, because input supply and flux will be same, so emf will not produced and same tim...

    Current=voltage/impedance, When DC is applied then Z=R =>I= V/R and R is low for transformer, so I increases very high, so heating as current is not allowed to flow further and hence intuitively you c...

    When there is a sudden loss of load, The Generator terminal voltage increases due to the fact that the IX drop in the generator winding decreases. The EMF generated being the same the reduced reactance loss leads to a sudden rise in generator voltage..but the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) will act instantly to bring this voltage to the set value by reducing the excitation.
    There is practically no effect of this on the transformer barring the reduction in I2R (copper Losses) and reduced IX drop.
