The transformer will overheat or the fuse protection (if if has fuse protection) will trip and kill the power to the transformer. Wihtout protection, it may cause a fire.

What happen if you apply triangular input to transformer?

there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils


What happen if the number of loops in the primary and secondary coils in a transformer are the same?

If the number of turns in the primary is the same as the secondary, this would be an isolation transformer. Primary and secondary voltages should match (minus the inherent transformer losses), as should the current.


WHAT will happen if you run oil transformer with out oil?

As well as providing a cooling medium, transformer oil is also used to insulate a transformer. As its dielectric strength (how well it insulates) is much higher than air, it means that components within a transformer that are at different potentials can be placed much closer together if they are immersed in oil. So, operating an oil-filled transformer without oil will likely cause insulation breakdown within the transformer.


What happen if the iron core is replaced by gold in the case of transformer?

You will have a very expensive but worthless transformer. Gold is not a ferromagnetic material, so it will not contain the magnetic flux needed to link the separate windings.


What happen when the polarity of transformer reversed?

You cannot 'reverse' the polarity of a transformer -it is either wound with 'additive polarity' or 'subtractive polarity', and there's not much you can do about it! For a single transformer, its polarity doesn't really matter. But if you are going to parallel two transformers, then you must know the polarity of each transformer in order to avoid harmful circulating currents in their secondary windings.

If your central heat and air duct work isn't properly installed what can happen?

That depends pn what you mean by `not installed properly`. If it is undersized you may continually kill blower motors and/or heat exchangers, have noise issues and of course not heat or cool the home properly.


What will happen if iron losses and copper losses are equal for any transformer?

The transformer will have the maximum efficiency.


What happen if you apply triangular input to transformer?

What happen if the secondary side of step down transformer supply a bigger voltage?

it would be called a step up transformer


What will happen if transformer are connected to dc supply?

It will get core saturation


What will happen you f the rated power of transformer is changed?

You cannot 'change' the 'rated power' of a transformer except by changing the transformer for another one. You can, though, operate the transformer below its rated power or, for short periods of time, operate the transformer aboveits rated power.


What will happen to the efficiency of a transformer if the iron core is removed?

its efficiency will decresed.


What will happen when the iron core of transformer is replaced by plastic?

The coupling between windings will be nearly zero, resulting in nearly zero output. In short, your transformer's not going to work.


What happen if the number of loops in the primary and secondary coils in a transformer are the same?

If the number of turns in the primary is the same as the secondary, this would be an isolation transformer. Primary and secondary voltages should match (minus the inherent transformer losses), as should the current.


Why does your sink fill up with water when the washing machine is on?

Generally this would happen if the main sewage line was running slow usually due to being partially plugged or undersized.

What happen to the heating element if lower power supplied to an electric kettle via transformer?

it won't get as hot
