What will happen if the primary of a Transformer is connected to d.c. supply?


If the primary of a Transformer is connected to a d.c. supply, the primary will draw a steady current and hence produce constant flux. Consequently, no back e.m.f. will be produced. The primary winding will draw excessive current due to low resistance of primary. The result is that the primary will overheat and burn out or the fuses will blow. Care must be taken not to connect the primary of a Transformer across the d.c. supply.
