Three Winding Transformer: Three Winding Transformer may be built with a third winding, called the tertiary, in addition to the primary and secondary. Various purposes which dictate the use of a tertiary winding are enumerated…
Parallel Operation of Transformer: When the load outgrows the capacity of an existing transformer, it may be economical to install another one in parallel with it rather than replacing it with a single larger unit.…
Back to Back Test of Transformer: The Back to Back Test of Transformer which consists of two parts namely, Back to Back Test on Three Phase Transformer Back to Back Test on Delta/Delta Transformers 1.…
Three phase Transformer Bank of Single phase Transformers: The different Three phase Transformer Bank of Single phase Transformers are namely, Delta/delta connection: The supply voltage provides only sinusoidal magnetizing current so that core flux is…
Choice of Transformer Connection Diagram: The different choice of Transformer Connection Diagram are namely, Star/star: This is economical for small HV transformers as it minimizes the turns/phase and winding insulation. A neutral connection is possible.…
Difference Between Star and Delta Connections: Difference Between Star and Delta Connections - In star connection with earthed neutral, the maximum voltage of the phase winding to ground is 1/√3 or 58% of the line…
Three Phase Transformer Connections: In generation, transformation, transmission and utilization of electric energy it can be shown that it is economical to use the three-phase system rather than the single-phase. For Three Phase Transformer Connections,…
Variable Frequency Transformer | Application: So far we have considered transformers which operate at fixed frequency (50 Hz). Their purpose is to transform electric power from one voltage level to another; their performance measures being…
Autotransformer | Definition | Use of Auto transformer: So far two-winding transformers have been discussed wherein the windings are electrically isolated. When the primary and secondary windings are electrically connected so that a part of…
Switching Transients in Transformer | Transformer Inrush Current: Switching Transients in Transformer - In the earlier discussion earlier steady-state operation was assumed so that v1 and Φ are both sinusoidal, Φ lagging v1 by 90°…
