What will happen if primary of transformer is fed with
Square wave instead of sinsoidal wave ?Will it operate or
Not?

Answer Posted / vivek

It will not operate. The ideal square wave has regions of constant power supply which will cause the transformer windings to overheat due to saturation of field. Also it is against the principle of operation of a transformer, Induction. For induction to happen, constant change of flux should be there which can be provided only by a sine wave.

In Power Line Communication (PLC) the wave trap is used to block communication signals from entering neighboring lines. My question is this: Why do they allow for different filtering arrangements on these wave traps? Isn't it always going to be a low pass filter since we want the power frequency to go through, and the comm signal blocked?
