    Transformer can only operate with A.C supply. Voltage will induce in the secondary winding of transformer only when there is a change in flux. The induced voltage in the secondary winding is no. of turns in secondary x rate of change of flux. In D.C circuit the rate opf change of flux is Zero, hence induced voltage in secondary winding is Zero and no Back MMF produce in the magnetic circuit of core of transformer. This will result in very high current drawal in the primary winding and will result in burning of primary winding of transformer. We can not think of applying D.C source in transformer.
