They are marked on the transformer. H1 and H2 primary, X1 and X2 secondary. Dual voltage primary H1, H3 H2, H4, Dual voltage secondary X1, X3, X2, X4.
Additional Answer for Unmarked TransformerFor a completely unmarked transformer, a continuity test will confirm which terminals belong to which windings, and a resistance test will identify the high-voltage (higher resistance) and low-voltage (lower resistance) windings. In North America, HV winding terminals are identified by the letter 'H' and LV windings by the letter 'X'.For a two-winding, four terminal, transformer, to test for polarity, the transformer should be orientated so that the HV windings are on the far side of the transformer, and the LV windings are on the nearest side. By convention, the left-hand HV terminal is then marked H1, and the right-hand terminal is marked H2. The LV terminal adjacent to H2 is then connected to terminal H2, so that both the HV and LV windings are in series. A voltmeter is then connected between the LV terminal adjacent to H1, and the H1 terminal itself. A low-voltage supply is then connected across the HV windings (i.e. between H1 and H2). If the voltmeter registers a voltage higher than that applied to the HV windings, then the transformer is of additive polarity, and the LV terminal adjacent to H2 should be marked X1 and the LV terminal adjacent to H1 should be marked X2. If, on the other hand, the voltmeter reading is less than the applied voltage, then the transformer is of subtractive polarity, and the LV terminal adjacent to H2 should be marked X2, and the terminal adjacent to H1 should be marked X1.
By convention, when terminal H1 'goes positive' during the AC sine-wave, then terminal X1 should also 'go positive'.
A similar process applies to multi-winding multi-terminal Transformers. Again, the windings of such transformers must have their terminals identified first -a simple continuity test will reveal these. The rule is that an odd number (e.g. H1, etc.) represents the 'start' of a winding, and an even number (e.g. H2) represents the 'end' of a winding. Again, a simple resistance test will identify the high-voltage (higher resistance) and low-voltage (lower resistance) windings.
For UK transformer, HV windings are identified as A-B, etc., and LV windings as a-b, etc.

How is a DC permanent-magnet motor reversed?
Reverse the polarity of armature windings of the motor.
What do transformer coil have to do with the way the transformer control voltage in alternating current?
Transformer coils are normally used to step down power from high power lines to a power you can actually use in your house. This works through the ratio of windings on a coil to the windings on the output side.
How do you calculate rating of 11 kv transformer?
The KVA rating of a transformer is based on how much heat the transformer can dissipate. The BIL rating is based on how well the windings are insulated. There are other "ratings" as well. Rough calculations can be done, but tests are generally performed to prove the calculations (transformer designers will design on the conservative side to insure the transformer meets specification). These type of calculations are best done by a computer. You will struggle to determine the hot spot max temperature rise in a transformer by hand.
A transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings If the secondary voltage is 25 V find the primary voltage?
Voltage on primary/Primary turns = Voltage on secondary/Secondary turns
What are the approximation of open circuit and short circuit test of transformer?
A short-circuit test is done to determine the power lost in the resistance of the primary and secondary windings of the transformer. It is done at full load current but with only enough voltage to give the required current with the secondary short circuited. An open-circuit test is done at full load voltage but no current is taken from the secondary, and this enables the power lost in the magnetic core of the transformer to be measured. As well a power, the tests also allow the inductances to be measured as well as the resistances, in order ot characterise the transformer fully.
What happen when the polarity of transformer reversed?
You cannot 'reverse' the polarity of a transformer -it is either wound with 'additive polarity' or 'subtractive polarity', and there's not much you can do about it! For a single transformer, its polarity doesn't really matter. But if you are going to parallel two transformers, then you must know the polarity of each transformer in order to avoid harmful circulating currents in their secondary windings.
Why transformers do not have poles even though it has magnetic field?
The windings of a transformer do have poles, which alternate in polarity in step with the A.C. magnetising current. As the polarity of the poles reverse, so too does the direction of the magnetic flux within the transformer's core.
What do you mean by Polarity of a transformer?
Transformer polarity is the direction the secondary goes relative to the primary, or relative to another secondary. Usually, polarity does not matter, for example in the case where the secondary is connected to a rectifier / filter / regulator. Sometimes, it does matter, particularly if there are two secondaries used to provide DC isolation between a preamp and a final amplifier in push-pull configuration. It can also matter if the overall circuit is involved in a feedback loop and phase inversion is a factor.AnswerWhen applied to transformers, the term 'polarity' describes the direction in which the secondary voltage is acting relative to the direction of the primary voltage. Polarity is determined by the directions in which the primary and secondary windings are wound relative to each other.Polarity is described as being either 'additive' or 'subtractive', and can be determined by of connecting one pair of primary and secondary terminals together. If the voltage measured between the other adjacent primary and secondary terminals is greater than the primary voltage, then the transformer has 'additive' polarity; if the voltage is less than the primary voltage, then the transformer has 'subtractive' polarity.Knowing the polarity of individual transformers is important when two single-phase transformers are connected in parallel with each other because, if polarity is ignored, then an incorrect connection might result, causing a large circulating current through the two secondary windings.
What is the procedure to polarity test a 3 phase transformer?
A 'polarity test' is conducted on a single-phase transformer, not a three-phase transformer (or transformer bank). The polarity of a single-phase transformer being important if two transformers are to be connected in parallel, or three transformers are going to be connected to form a three-phase transformer bank.'Angular displacement' is, to a three-phase transformer, what 'polarity' is to a single-phase transformer. So you really should be asking about angular displacement, rather than polarity. Angular displacement, or 'phase displacement', is the angle by which the secondary line voltage lags the primary line voltage.Angular displacement can be determined either by drawing a phasor diagram of the three-phase connection and measuring it, or by looking up the connection in a vector-group chart/table -you would nor normally 'calculate' angular displacement.
Why the polarity of transformer is important?
a polarity test is a test which use to check the polarity of tranformer.the rision of this test to running the two or more transformer in parallel.like bettry situation or to fin the terminals
Conversion of 2-winding transformer into auto transformer?
Yes, you can use a mutual (2-winding) transformer as an autotransformer, by connecting the two windings in series. For example, if you have a 240:120 V transformer, connecting the two windings in series and supplying the 240-V winding with 240 V can give you a secondary voltage of 360 V. But you must take into account the polarity of the transformer, and realise its capacity will change.
Why induction transformer called rotating transformer?
Transformer has windings
What will happen if the transformers working in parallel are not connected with regard to polarity?
when two transformer are connected in parallel condition,and the polarity of transformer are opposite to each other then a large circulating current flow through out the winding,therefore a very small current flow thro, the load .therefore lifespan of transformer will be reduced.
Is 3 phase star transformer has more winding than delta?
The # of windings in a transformer are based on the primary and secondary voltages the transformer is rated for not the way the windings are connected.
When working on a current transformer the secondary windings must be?
When working on a current transformer the secondary windings must be shorted. <<>> Properly loaded
What is a battery method of testing transformer polarities?
You will be able to find out the polarities of the windings. You can just put a digital meter on one winding and then touch the battery to the other side to see which polarity it has.
What is the three phase transformer?
it has three primary windings & three secondary windings.
