if you want to measure a wide range of current, example 1mA to 200A (if the device is intended for the metering and protection), normally CT and rocoil is used together, it is difficult to make rocoil sensitive in range of 1mA, but you can do the task with the CT, but the same CT gets saturated above 5A, in that case rocoil start measuring, since rocoil is air core it wont saturate.

Why ac current is used in a transformer?

AC current or DC current can be used in transformers. A transformer is made of two coils of wire, the input coil induces a current into the output coil. Transformers change the voltage either up (step up transformer) or down (step down transformer). The amount of change in voltage is dependent solely on the number of windings in both coils in the transformer. DC transformers work exactly the same way AC transformers do.


What is the current in the secondary coil fi the current in the primary coil is 5.0A 10 loops on primary coil and 20 on secondary coil?

If I am not wrong then you have asked about a transformer. And its a current transformer. By theory of voltage transformer we know that Vs/Vp = Ns/Np So for answering your question we need the value of number of turns in primary and secondary coil. But you can use this equation to find your answer if you have other values. By using ohmic law you can convert voltage to current.


A step-up transformer has 300 turns on the primary coil and 90000 turns on the secondary coil if the current flowing through the secondary is 5 amps what is the current flowing in the primary?

If a step-up transformer has 200 turns on the primary coil and 3000 turns on the secondary coil, with a primary coil voltage of 90 volts and current of 30 amps, then the turns ratio is 200:3000, so the secondary voltage is 1350 voltage and the available current is 2 amps. (This ignores losses through the transformer.)


In a transformer what induces a current in the secondary coil?

The current flowing in the primary generates a magnetic field which induces a current in the secondary winding.AnswerNo current is induced into the secondary winding of a transformer. What is induced is voltage. Current will only flow in the secondary winding if it is connected to the load, and it is the load that determines the current, not the primary current.


How do you connect a diode across a ac coil?

You mean ac coil, the secondary coil, of a transformer? Then for the purpose of rectification, that is , for changing ac into dc, a diode is connected in series with the secondary coil of the transformer.

Which type of current does a transformer work with?

A transformer works with alternating current (AC). The primary coil of the transformer is connected to an AC power source, which creates a changing magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary coil.

How do you chose winding coil gauge of transformer?

Depends upon the current ratings


When secondary coil is open there is no current in the primary coil WHY?

I am assuming the question is about the power / distribution transformer and not the current transformer. The primary current is a function of load connected on secondary. With the open secondary, there is no load, no current, it is open circuit. Hence no primary current. However there is always some small amount of no load current in the primary winding.


Does a transformer boost electric energy?

A transformer can either step up or step down the voltage of electric energy passing through it. When the number of turns in the primary coil is greater than the number of turns in the secondary coil, the transformer will step up the voltage.


Why is primary coil in step up transformer thick?

A step up transformer converts low voltage,high amperage current to a high voltage,low amperage current. It requires large diameter wire to carry the high amperage in the primary coil.


What is ct coil?

It means Current Transformer is used for measurement of electric currents, together with voltage transformers


What do transformer coil have to do with the way the transformer control voltage in alternating current?

Transformer coils are normally used to step down power from high power lines to a power you can actually use in your house. This works through the ratio of windings on a coil to the windings on the output side.


When current in primary coil decreases current in the secondary coil also decreases?

It is reverse. when load current in the secondary changes the primary current also changes directly. Load current is dependent on the load. I am assuming that the question is related to a normal distribution transformer.


Why a transformer only work with alternating currents?

A transformer relies on the changing magnetic field produced by AC current to induce a voltage in the secondary coil. When the current direction changes, it creates a varying magnetic field that can induce a current in the secondary coil. In contrast, with DC current, the magnetic field does not change, which prevents induction of voltage in the secondary coil, so the transformer doesn't work.
