You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater

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.
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...
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.
Can transformer operate on triangular wave DC?
If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.
Why we used ac volt in supply line instead of dc volt?
AC voltage is more sufficient than DC voltage. Moreover, an AC transformer can be developed but DC voltage will make it harder. Without a transformer, we cannot turn the high and low voltaged into each-other.
What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?
A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.
How do you increase voltage 5v-12v?
AC or DC? AC - use a transformer, DC - forget it - not simple or cheap.

What is a flyback inverter?
fly back inverter is such kind of DC-AC inverters which use the flyback transformer for the low dc-high dc stage of the inveter shortly it's DC to AC inverter with flyback transformer inside .
Why transformer do not operate with DC?
Transformer works with varying flux. DC won't create it. Only AC produce varying flux.
Why transformer action can take place in DC circuit?
Not clear what your question is. First of all, circuits are not classified as DC and AC. Circuits are what they are, and you can apply either AC or DC to any circuit. However, considering a circuit that was designed only for use with DC applied. Still your question is unclear. What is transformer action? "Transformer Action" happens in a transformer.
Does a transformer convert AC to DC?
No, a transformer does not change AC to DC. For this purpose there is a device known as a rectifier, and to transform it back to AC from DC you'll need an inverter. Transformers are only useful with AC due to the alternating waveform which induces a voltage in the secondary winding (when it is connected to a load).
