If the primary side of the transformer is powered, and the secondary/distribution side does not distribute power, even if the fuse is in normal condition, then the following faults may occur in the installed transformer:

  1. Winding Failure: The secondary winding may be open, resulting in no voltage output on the secondary side.

  2. Wiring Errors: During installation, there may be incorrect connections between the primary and secondary windings.

  3. Internal Short Circuit: Although the fuse is normal, there may be a local short circuit inside, causing the secondary side to not work properly.

  4. Core Failure: The core may have issues such as looseness or poor insulation, affecting the normal transmission of magnetic flux.

  5. Switch or Contactor Failure: The switch or contactor on the secondary side may not be closed or there may be poor contact, preventing power from being distributed.

To accurately diagnose the problem, it is recommended to perform detailed inspections and tests, including measuring the resistance of primary and secondary windings, checking the wiring, testing the condition of the core, and confirming the status of all switches and contactors.

What Is a Toroidal Transformer?A toroidal transformer is a major type of electronic transformer that has been widely used in household appliances and other electronic equipment with higher technical requirements. Its primary applications are as a power transformer and an isolation transformer. Abroad, toroidal transformers are already available in complete series and are extensively used in computers, medical equipment, telecommunications, instruments, and lighting applications.In China, toroida

What causes a transformer to be noisier under no-load conditions?
What causes a transformer to be noisier under no-load conditions?
When a transformer is operating under no-load conditions, it often produces louder noise than under full load. The primary reason is that, with no load on the secondary winding, the primary voltage tends to be slightly higher than nominal. For example, while the rated voltage is typically 10 kV, the actual no-load voltage may reach around 10.5 kV.This elevated voltage increases the magnetic flux density (B) in the core. According to the formula:B = 45 × Et / S(where Et is the designed volts-per-

Under what circumstances should an arc suppression coil be taken out of service when it is installed?
When installing an arc suppression coil, it is important to identify the conditions under which the coil should be taken out of service. The arc suppression coil should be disconnected under the following circumstances: When a transformer is being de-energized, the neutral-point disconnector must be opened first before performing any switching operations on the transformer. The energizing sequence is the reverse: the neutral-point disconnector should be closed only after the transformer is energ

What fire prevention measures are available for power transformer failures?
What fire prevention measures are available for power transformer failures?
Failures in power transformers are commonly caused by severe overload operation, short circuits due to winding insulation degradation, aging of transformer oil, excessive contact resistance at connections or tap changers, failure of high- or low-voltage fuses to operate during external short circuits, core damage, internal arcing in oil, and lightning strikes.Since transformers are filled with insulating oil, fires can have severe consequences—ranging from oil spraying and ignition to, in extrem
