multiple choice questions on transformer # 12


                           Hi friends, this post is about transformer objectives. These are some of the questions asked in previous question papers of Gate, IES and other competitive exams. check out and comment if you have any doubts.....

transformer objectives 12



1) Core of large power transformers are made from which one of the following?

B) High reluctance magnetic core
C) Winding material of high resistivity
D) Low reluctance magnetic core

Ans:D

3) The joints in the transformer core lamination are staggered so as to
A) avoid continuous gap causing increase in magnetizing current
