Which current does a transformer work with (AC or DC)?   show
🗑
Define transformer law.   show
🗑
Name the 4 types of transformers.   show
🗑
Define air core.   show
🗑
Define open core.   show
🗑
Define closed core.   show
🗑
Define shell type.   show
🗑
Define power loss.   show
🗑
What are the 3 types of power loss?   show
🗑
show Pertains to loss of electrical power due to resistance of the coils. (I2R)  
🗑
show Swirling currents in core by electromagnetic induction.  
🗑
show Loss occurring as a result of changing magnetic fields by the AC in the windings. Reduced by laminated silicon steel core.  
🗑
Define autotransformer.   show
🗑
What device serves indirectly as the kV selector?   show
🗑
show Choke coil, rheostat and high frequency (HF) circuit.  
🗑
Which method of filament current control is old?   show
🗑
Which method of filament current control is new?   show
🗑
show Operates on principle of self-inductance and requires AC.  
🗑
show Variable resistor designed to regulate filament current.  
🗑
Define the formula for calculating secondary voltage using primary voltage, # primary turns and #secondary turns.   show
🗑
Define the formula for calculating secondary current using primary current, #primary turns and #secondary turns   show
🗑
show Secondary Voltage = Primary Voltage (x) # of Tapped Turns / Total # of Turns  
🗑
What are the 2 circuits found in an x-ray tube?   show
🗑
show When 2nd coil has FEWER turns than 1st coil, the OUTPUT voltage will be LESS than the INPUT voltage.  
🗑
