What is Electric Power Transformer?

Power Transformer Definition

A power transformer is a static device that efficiently transfers electrical energy between circuits without changing the frequency, using electromagnetic induction.

Main Technical Parameters

  • Rated voltage

  • Rated power

  • Rated current

  • Voltage ratio

  • Turns ratio

Voltage Adjustment

Power transformers modify voltage levels to enhance energy efficiency and safety in power transmission and distribution.

Core and Shell Types

  • Step-up and step-down transformers

  • Single-phase and three-phase transformers

  • Two-winding and autotransformers

  • Distribution and power transformers

  • Instrument transformers

  • Oil-cooled and dry-type transformers

  • Core type and shell type transformers

  • Outdoor vs. Indoor Transformers

Types of Power Transformers

Various types, such as step-up, step-down, single-phase, and three-phase, cater to different electrical system requirements.

Power Transformers Advantage

  • To reduce power loss in transmission lines

  • Galvanic Isolation Provided

  • Impedance Matching

  • Voltage Level Adjustment

Applications

Essential in sectors like power generation, transmission, and distribution, power transformers also provide specific voltage levels for diverse applications.

Five Common Defects of H61 Distribution Transformers1.Lead Wire DefectsInspection Method: The three-phase DC resistance imbalance rate significantly exceeds 4%, or one phase is essentially open-circuited.Remedial Measures: The core should be lifted for inspection to locate the defective area. For poor contacts, re-polish and tighten the connection. Poorly welded joints should be re-welded. If the welding surface area is insufficient, it should be enlarged. If the lead wire cross-section is inade

What lightning protection measures are used for H61 distribution transformers?A surge arrester should be installed on the high-voltage side of the H61 distribution transformer. According to SDJ7–79 "Technical Code for Design of Overvoltage Protection of Electric Power Equipment," the high-voltage side of an H61 distribution transformer should generally be protected by a surge arrester. The grounding conductor of the arrester, the neutral point on the low-voltage side of the transformer, and the

How to Select H61 Distribution Transformers?
H61 Distribution Transformer Selection includes the selection of transformer capacity, model type, and installation location.1.Selection of H61 Distribution Transformer CapacityThe capacity of H61 distribution transformers should be selected based on the current conditions and development trends of the area. If the capacity is too large, it results in the “large horse pulling a small cart” phenomenon—low transformer utilization and increased no-load losses. If the capacity is too small, the tran

110kV Transformer Zero-Sequence Protection: Issues & Improvement Measures
Problems with Zero-Sequence Protection of 110 kV TransformersIn an effectively grounded system, the neutral-to-ground displacement voltage of a transformer is limited to a certain level, and the neutral-point gap protection does not operate. The purpose of installing gap protection is to prevent damage to transformer insulation caused by elevated zero-sequence voltage in non-effectively grounded systems. The discharge gap only operates when a single-phase ground fault occurs, all directly ground
