Difference between Power Transformer and Distribution Transformer

Main Differences Power transformers are applied in high - voltage transmission networks for step - up and step - down operations (with voltage levels such as 400 kV, 200 kV, 110 kV, 66 kV, 33 kV). Their rated capacity is generally above 200 MVA. In contrast, distribution transformers are utilized in
