Problem description:
What do AN and AF on the transformer nameplate mean?
Product Line:
Trihal Dry Type Transformer
Solution:
There are two cooling methods for dry - type transformers, namely AN method, i.e. air self - cooling; and AF method, which starts the fan for forced air cooling. When the Trihal dry - type transformer is connected to an external fan, forced ventilation (AF method) is activated when the coil temperature reaches 100°C, and the fan power is cut off when the temperature reaches 80°C. The above temperature setting values can be adjusted according to the on - site operating conditions.

Why Must a Transformer Core Be Grounded at Only One Point? Isn't Multi-Point Grounding More Reliable?
Why Does the Transformer Core Need to Be Grounded?During operation, the transformer core, along with the metal structures, parts, and components that fix the core and windings, are all situated in a strong electric field. Under the influence of this electric field, they acquire a relatively high potential with respect to ground. If the core is not grounded, a potential difference will exist between the core and the grounded clamping structures and tank, which may lead to intermittent discharge.I

What’s the Difference Between Rectifier Transformers and Power Transformers?
What is a Rectifier Transformer?"Power conversion" is a general term encompassing rectification, inversion, and frequency conversion, with rectification being the most widely used among them. Rectifier equipment converts input AC power into DC output through rectification and filtering. A rectifier transformer serves as the power supply transformer for such rectifier equipment. In industrial applications, most DC power supplies are obtained by combining a rectifier transformer with rectifier equ

1. Hazards, Causes, and Types of Multi-Point Grounding Faults in Transformer Cores1.1 Hazards of Multi-Point Grounding Faults in the CoreUnder normal operation, a transformer core must be grounded at only one point. During operation, alternating magnetic fields surround the windings. Due to electromagnetic induction, parasitic capacitances exist between the high-voltage and low-voltage windings, between the low-voltage winding and the core, and between the core and the tank. The energized windin
