Can a 50Hz transformer be used as 25 Hz if the input voltage maintained constant at the rated value corresponding to 50 Hz 1 point?

Electrical Engineering Objective Questions { Transformers } Can a 50 Hz transformer be used for 25 Hz, if the input voltage is maintained constant at the rated vale corresponding to 50 Hz? A. Yes. Since the voltage is constant, current levels will not changed.

What would happen if a transformer designed for operation at 50 Hz were connected to a 5 Hz supply of the same voltage?

50 Hz Transformer Operated on 5Hz The transformer may start to smoke and burn with blast leading to dangerous fire. Transformer with same rating is connected to the 5Hz supply source. This will cause insulation losses and transformer may stat to smoke due to low inductive reactance to oppose the flow of large current.

What would happen if we operate a 60 Hz transformer on 50 Hz source of supply * current will decrease current will increase current will be same in both cases no effect?

When we operate a 60Hz transformer on 60Hz supply source, the current were 44.14 A. But when operated a 60Hz transformer on 50Hz supply source, the current were 52.94 A. The extra current in this case may causes copper loss (P = I2R) and produces heat. This way, we can use a 60Hz transformer on 50Hz AC Supply.

Do transformers change frequency?

The transformer cannot change the frequency of the supply. If the supply is 60Hz, the output will also be 60 Hz. Frequency of the system will vary as load is added to the system or as generators are shut down; other generators are adjusted in speed so that the average system frequency stays nearly constant.

Can we use 50 Hz transformer on 60Hz?

50 Hz transformer can be used for 60 Hz operation, but reverse operation (i.e 60 Hz Xfrmr on 50 Hz operation) will result in damaging the transformer. Therefore, a transformer designed to run at 50Hz will simply run cooler at 60Hz. But one designed only for 60Hz may overheat if subjected to 50Hz.

What will happen if a transformer rated at 50 Hz is operated on 60 Hz supply line?

50 Hz transformer can be used for 60 Hz operation, but reverse operation (i.e 60 Hz Xfrmr on 50 Hz operation) will result in damaging the transformer. i.e. from 60Hz to 50Hz, your transformer impedance will drop by 20\%, therefore increasing the primary current and could saturate the core by having a higher flux.

What will happen if a 50 Hz transformer operates at 60 Hz?

Can a 60Hz transformer work on 50Hz?

Transformers rated at 60Hz should not be used on a 50Hz supply due to higher losses and core saturation, and the resultant higher temperature rise. Transformers rated for 50Hz, however, can be operated on a 60Hz supply.

What is the effect of low frequency on a transformer?

The lower frequency will see a lower impedance, there will be more current you will push further onto the non linear knee of the BH curve, the transformer will be less efficient but will handled somewhat more maximum power. If you eg operate a transformer properly designed to run on 60 Hz it will get hot and unhappy on 50Hz even on no load.

Can a 50Hz transformer run on a 60Hz power supply?

50Hz transformer running on 60Hz power supply. 50 Hz transformer can be used for 60 Hz operation, but reverse operation (i.e 60 Hz Xfrmr on 50 Hz operation) will result in damaging the transformer. Each magnetic material which could be used in a transformer’s core has a limit on how many flux lines it can handle.

What is the impedance of a transformer at 60Hz?

Some of the above may be somewhat wrong in any given case – but probably right enough in most. If 60Hz is designed frequency of transformer if operated at say 10hz will require impedance voltage / 6 for rated current to flow in transformer . 2) Impedance at 10hz will be 1/6th of impedance at 50Hz.

What are the effects of secondary voltage on primary voltage?

Voltage is proportional to turns ratios and primary and secondary are linked by same flux so more or less the same voltage out. Secondary effects may change this slightly. and loss of transformer? Potentially total loss of transformer :-). A 60Hz transformer on 50 Hz runs hot.
