Voltage control is performed by changing the transformer turn ratio. This is achieved by providing Tapping on the transformer winding. In a tap changing transformer, taping is either provided on the primary or on the secondary winding of the transformer.…
The current transformer (CT) is a type of instrument transformer designed to measure high-value current in the power system. The primary has few numbers of the turn of heavy wire, and the secondary of the current transformer has many turns of…
Difference between Current Transformer (CT) and Potential Transformer (PT) Current Transformers (CT) and Potential Transformers (PT) are used to measure the current and voltage in a circuit of the order of hundreds of amperes and volts respectively. A CT has…
The conservator tank is the main part of the transformer, It provides space for the expansion of oil and acts as a reservoir for transformer oil. In this article, we will explore the construction, function, and working principle of the…
The efficiency and regulation of the transformer can be calculated using open circuit and short circuit test on the transformer but to measure temperature rise during operation, it is necessary to conduct a full load test on the transformer. for…
The dielectric strength of transformer oil is known as BDV or break-down voltage. A Transformer Oil BDV test is performed to find the dielectric strength of transformer oil. BDV is the minimum voltage withstand the capacity of transformer oil without…
What Is Buchholz Relay? Buchholz relay is a mechanically operated relay that is used to protect the transformer from internal faults that occur inside the transformer tank like an inter-turn fault. Buchholz relay is an oil and gas-operated device. The…
Auto transformer is a transformer in which part of the winding is common to both the primary winding circuit and a secondary winding. In normal two winding transformers, primary and secondary winding are electrically isolated but in the case of an autotransformer,…
In this article, we will explore what is PRV In Transformer their Construction, and their working principle.
Transformer oil testing is a crucial part of transformer maintenance, as the oil serves as electrical insulation between the winding and tank and acts as a cooling agent. Over time, the oil can become contaminated, which can degrade its insulating…
