as frequency is reduced current gets increased winding gets heated.current goes up.voltage gets dropped.power also gets dropped.

What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?

Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.


What will happen to the transformer if double the rated voltage is applied to the winding during the open circuit test?

no voltage will be induced on the secondary side of the motor as the windings will become saturated.


What would happen if the number of coils on both sides of the transformer were the same?

This is what is known as a 1:1, or ISOLATION Transformer. There is no change to the Voltage or Current of the input, but this does provide a separation between the input and output of the transformer. This separation is sometimes required for safety purposes, especially in a medical environment.


What will happen to the transformer if DC voltage is applied to the primary winding?

DC current will not pass through a transformer, in the sense that a DC current on the primary will not produce a DC output from the secondary. A constant DC current will not produce any output from the secondary but there may be transient effects as the DC current is connected or disconnected (in which case, it's really an AC current, isn't it?) More about this below because I don't think that's really the question. If you pass DC current through either winding of a transformer, two things will happen. First, you will heat up the transformer and, if you have enough DC current, you will burn it out. Second, you will induce a magnetic field in the core. The more current, the closer the core gets to "saturation" or the maximum field it can support. This is important if there is both DC and AC current present because the more DC field in the core, the less core capacity is available to "transform" AC current. As the core operates closer to saturation, the AC waveform will be distorted and some of the AC power will be lost to heating the transformer. For example, if the primary of a transformer is connected to an AC source, and a DC source is connected to the secondary, then the primary current drawn by the transformer will increase, possibly enough to destroy the transformer. There are special transformers, called magnetic amplifiers, which take advantage of this effect to use a DC current to modulate an AC current. There are transient effects of DC currents in a transformer winding. As the DC current magnetizes the core, energy is stored. When the DC current is disconnected, this stored energy wants to leave the core. It can do this by inducing a voltage in either of the windings. If both windings are open circuit, this voltage can be very high. So you may see a spark jump when the DC voltage is disconnected. In a large transformer, this discharge may break down the transformer insulation and damage it. Some switching power supplies take advantage of this effect in which case the transformer is wound slightly differently and called a "coupled inductor."


Is it safe to run a 220 volt AC to 12 volt DC step down transformer in a 110 volt outlet and will it transform it to 6 volts or will it run at 12 volts?

Since there is an AC to DC converter in there, it's hard to say. If it's a basic transformer to rectifier to capacitor design it will put out 6 volts. If it is a transformer to a voltage regulator it's hard to say what will happen. Certainly the drive voltage to the regularor will be cut in half. It may or may not run, but won't be able to run at 12 volts because there won't be any 12 volts to drive the regulator. (There will only be 6 volts.) If it is a switcher it may work fine or it may do nothing.

What happens when a transformer is operated at no load with high voltage?

It depends on how much voltage you have applied. If you apply rated voltage nothing happens only core losses will be there on the transformer nothing will happen apart from that. If you go on increase the voltage core losses will increase and transformer will get heated up. After attaining the breakdown voltage of insulation, insulation in the primary and secondary will fail and the coils will get short circuited then the coils will burn.

What will happen if you pass AC current through a transformer?

If the transformer was designed for the specific frequency in use, it will step up or down voltage and current as it was designed to do. Transformers transform how power "looks" by increasing and decreasing voltage and current, while keeping power output equivalent to input (if you ignore the transformer losses).


What happen if 440V is connected to 220V transformer?

If the frequency is kept the same, you will overexcite the transformer, and it will draw excessive current (similar to inrush currents). Insulation tests are performed on transformers above nominal voltage, but they are performed at higher than rated frequency to keep the volts per hertz roughly equal to prevent overexciting the core.


What will happen if the transformers working in parallel are not connected with regard to polarity?

when two transformer are connected in parallel condition,and the polarity of transformer are opposite to each other then a large circulating current flow through out the winding,therefore a very small current flow thro, the load .therefore lifespan of transformer will be reduced.
