Answered by: adarsh on: Mar 2nd, 2014

transformer has high inductance and low resistance. in dc supply there is no inductance only
resistance will act in the circuit so high current will flows through the primary of the transformer.
for this reason coil and insulation will burn out.

Answered by: shobhit nagar on: Feb 3rd, 2014

if we supply dc to the transformer then there will be no emf induced in the coil the emf generates
only in case of ac and dc may also burn to the transformer.......

If the earthing transformer on the Delta Side is outsides the Zone of protection the Earth
Fault(E/F)in the delta system outside Current Transformer(CT) locations would produce current
distributions as shown which circulate within the differential CT secondaries and is kept out of
operating coils.

Zig-Zag or inter connected star grounding transformer has normal magnetizing impedance of
high value but for E/F, currents flow in windings of the same - core in such a manner that the
ampere turn cancel and hence offer lower impedance.
In cases where the neutral point of three phase system is not accessible like the system connected
to the delta connected side of a electrical power transformer, an artificial neutral point may be
created with help of a zigzag connected earthing transformer.

zigzag star connected earthing transformer

This is a core type transformer with three limbs. Every phase winding in zigzag connection is
divided into two equal halves. One half of which is wound on one limb and other half is wound
on another limb of the core of transformer.

1st half of Red phase winding is wound on the 1st limb of the core and 2nd half of same Red
phase is wound on 3rd limb.

It depends on the magnitude of applied voltage. Since reatance is absent in DC circuit and no
back emf as transformer action is absent, application of DC voltage equal in magnitude to rated

3.armature control.
In armature control we use series resistance with motor ,by this method the speed is contorlled

if we take control system then by armature control there is a feedback,
