Operating a transformer outside of its intended frequency range can cause issues. A 60Hz transformer operated at 50Hz may overload due to the higher current draw. Operating a 50Hz transformer at 500Hz could cause overheating and damage. Connecting a transformer primary to DC could cause smoking and burning, as transformers are designed to operate on alternating current only. Under certain conditions like pulse width modulation, a transformer can be safely operated with a DC supply on the primary.

Can we operate a 60HZ Transformer on 50Hz Supply Source and Vice Versa? Suppose, (This is a 60 Hz Transformer) Is it possible to Operate a 50Hz Transformer on 500Hz frequency Supply? Is it possible to Operate a 50Hz Transformer on 500Hz frequency Supply? What would happen if a power transformer designed for operation on 50 Hz (frequency) were connected to a 500 Hz (frequency) source of the same voltage? Is it possible to Operate a 500Hz Transformer on 50Hz ? Is it possible to Operate a 500Hz Transformer on 50Hz frequency Supply? What would happen if a power transformer designed for operation on 50 Hz (frequency) were connected to a 5Hz (frequency) source of the same voltage? What will happen if the primary of a transformer is connected to DC supply? What will happen if the primary of a transformer is connected to DC supply? Under what condition is D.C supply applied safely to the primary of a transformer? How to Connect a Transformer to DC Supply? Under what condition is DC supply applied safely to the primary of a transformer? As i mentioned ,This is a simple electrical interview question. So if some one ask this question in interview or somewhere..then the right answer will be this….I think u got the main Idea Also As we know that Transformer works only on A.C, in case of D.C Supply, the primary of transformer may start to smoke and burn….But this is the only one condition where we can operate a Transformer on D.C (although the Circuit is Useless)…For more information….in the above blog…U will see a post where we talked about the topic…..1 Transformer primary with A.C supply, 2. Transformer primary with D.C Supply.
