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…
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…
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…
Transformer Efficiency Formula: Power and distribution transformers are designed to operate under conditions of constant rms voltage and frequency and so the efficiency and voltage regulation are of prime importance.…
Per Unit System: While carrying out the analysis of electrical machines (or electrical machine systems), it is usual to express voltage, current, VA and impedance in Per Unit System (or…
Transformer Testing Methods: Two chief difficulties which do not warrant the Transformer Testing Methods by direct load test are: Large amount of energy has to be wasted in such a…
Different types of losses in transformer: The transformer has no moving parts so that its efficiency is much higher than that of rotating machines. Different types of losses in transformer…
Phasor Diagram of Transformer: For the approximate equivalent circuit of Phasor Diagram of Transformer is shown in Fig. 3.16(b) The phasor diagram corresponding to this equation is drawn in Fig.…
