The wattage must remain equal on the primary and secondary sides of a transformer. An example to the above statement with a 1000 watt step down transformer. To fine the watts (load) the formula is W = A x V. The primary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000 W = 4.16 Amps x 240 Volts. The secondary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000 W = 8.3 Amps x 120 Volts. Using the transformer to its maximum, without overloading it, the primary will be 4.16 amps at 240 volts and the secondary will be 8.33 at 120 volts. As you can see the wattage (load) remains constant only the voltages and current change.
For flux
in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
The primary current is determined by the secondary current, not the other way around. For example, a step up transformer will step up the primary voltage in proportion to the turns ratio of the transformer. Any secondary current is then determined by the secondary voltage and the load, NOT by the primary current. The primary current is then determined by the secondary current in proportion to the reciprocal of the turns ratio.
The current flowing through a transformer's secondary is the current drawn by the load, so it will be exactly the same as the current flowing through your induction motor -assuming that is the load. Don't really understand the point of your question!
The secondary current is determined by the load, not by the transformer. For example, if the secondary voltage is 50 V and the load is 100 ohms, then the secondary current will be 0.5 A. If the load is 25 ohms, then the secondary current will be 2 A. It is important that a continuous secondary current doesn't exceed the rated secondary current of the transformer.
why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current transformer ?
The ratio of the primary winding turns to the secondary winding turns. This governs voltage which is directly related to the current and load.AnswerA transformer increases or decreases voltage, notcurrent. The secondary current is determined by the load, and the secondary current determines the primary current. If there is no load, then there is no secondary current, and the primary current is mainly made up of the magnetising current.

A transformer has a primary (Where the AC supply voltage is applied); and a secondary where a voltage is induced by a fluctuating magnetic field in the iron core of the transformer. The secondary voltage depends on the ratio of windings between the primary and secondary. Since the transformer can't manufacture power the product of the voltage and current at the primary exceeds that in the secondary. So if the transformer steps up the voltage in the secondary, the maximum current in the secondary must decrease. Similarly if the voltage is stepped down the maximum current increases in the secondary. There are always losses in this process so the power in is always somewhat less than power out.
No. A step-down transformer's secondary voltage is lower than its primary voltage. The secondary current is determined by the load, and this causes a higher current in the primary winding.
the current decreases.AnswerThe secondary current is determined by the secondary voltage and the load, not by whether the transformer is a step-up or step-down type. Once this is established, you can determine the primary current. Remember, the secondary current determines the primary current, not the other way around!

When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.
When working on a current transformer the secondary windings must be shorted. <<>> Properly loaded
There is no 'standard' output current from a transformer. The secondary (output) current depends on the load, and should not exceed the rated secondary current. To find the rated secondary current, you divide the transformer's rated volt amperes by the rated secondary voltage. The above cited answer need more descriptive ; a) V/Z = I, b) V/Z = I + Magnetizing current of the transformer taken from Primary side of the transformer.
