What is Parallel Operation of Transformers?

Parallel Operation Defined

Parallel operation of transformers is when multiple transformers are connected to increase system reliability, efficiency, and flexibility.

Maximizing Efficiency

Efficient parallel operation is achieved by activating only the transformers necessary to meet current demands, optimizing energy use.

Maintenance and Reliability

Parallel operation allows for maintenance without service interruptions and enhances reliability by providing backup capacity.

Conditions for Operation

Same voltage ratio of transformer.
Same percentage impedance.
Same polarity.
Same phase sequence.

Future-Proofing

This setup allows for easy adjustment to changes in power demand, either increasing or decreasing capacity as needed.

Advantage

To maximize electrical power system efficiency
To maximize electrical power system availability
To maximize power system reliability
To maximize electrical power system flexibility

How to Select H61 Distribution Transformers？

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

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

Why Substation Grounding Transformers Trip? Fixes & Installation Guidelines

Why Substation Grounding Transformers Trip? Fixes & Installation Guidelines

Substation grounding transformers require high accuracy, excellent anti-interference performance, high safety performance, reasonable structure, and good long-term stability to meet the requirements of substations for ground resistance measurement. At the same time, demands for communication and information processing capabilities of grounding transformers are also increasing, requiring continuous technological innovation and improvement. There can be many reasons for tripping of substation grou

SCB & SGB Dry-Type Transformers Explained

1. IntroductionA transformer operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The main components of a transformer are the windings and the core. During operation, the windings serve as the path for electric current, while the core serves as the path for magnetic flux. When electrical energy is input to the primary winding, the alternating current creates an alternating magnetic field in the core (i.e., electrical energy is converted into magnetic field energy). Due to magnetic link
