Hmm..i got a qns here..why is it that some transformers emit a hummin sound when connected to a AC of 50 hz supply??..also, how do we know what the freq of the hum?seems like there is no link to me..
Transformers emit a humming sound due to the alternating magnetic field generated by the alternating current (AC) passing through the transformer's core. This causes the transformer to vibrate at a frequency that creates the humming sound.
No, the humming sound from transformers is not harmful. It is a normal byproduct of the transformer's operation and does not indicate any malfunction or danger.
Yes, the humming sound from transformers can be reduced by using high-quality materials, proper insulation, and design techniques that minimize vibration. However, it is not possible to completely eliminate the sound as it is a natural result of the transformer's operation.
No, there are no known health concerns associated with the humming sound from transformers. The sound is not at a level that can cause harm to humans or animals.
The loudness of the humming sound from transformers can vary depending on the design, size, and type of transformer. Transformers that are larger and have more windings tend to produce a louder humming sound. The quality of the materials and construction can also affect the loudness of the sound.
