Can transformer operate on triangular wave DC?

If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.


What is sinusoid?

What is a sinusoidal wave? This is a wave that appears to have curves. AC current/voltage. If you see a wave on a ossiloscope of what our AC (Alternating current) mains voltage that will be the answer to the question. DC (direct current) does not appear to have the same qualitys


Why carrier signal are sinusoidal?

It does not have to be. Voltage can be DC, sinusoidal, square wave, triangular wave, etc.


The rms value of the resultant current in a wire which carries a DC of 20A and a sinusoidal ac of peak value 20A is?

From your description, this sounds like it is a sine wave offset to 10A, so the peak is at 20A, and the min is at 0? For this case, you have 10A DC (RMS) wave and a 10A Peak - neutral AC wave; The RMS value of the AC wave is: 10/2*sqrt(2) = 3.54A. So the RMS amplitude of this wave is 13.54A.


Why low pass RC circuit can not alter the shape of the sinusoidal signal?

because it is an alternating wave and it has no dc value on it.In RC circuit the capacitor blocks only dc values and it allows all ac values so the wave shape is preserved


How the output characteristics of AC and DC generator vary from other?

AC generators have a varying waveform which is sinusoidal in nature, whereas a DC output is linear.

What is AC plus DC?

An offset AC wave. It will be offset by the magnitude of the DC applied.


Is wave energy an AC or DC current?

mainly AC but can be DC if done correctly


How do you convert from dc battery to ac power?

If you don't know how to do this, then you shouldn't be doing it. Hire a qualified electrician.To get AC out of a DC supply, you must use an inverter. This is a special type of circuit that produces a sinusoidal wave. They are available in sizes ranging mW to MW.I can't buy the high-power ones, and I'm an Electrical Engineer. That should tell you something about the potential danger involved here.
