Basic Tips in Installing an Electric TransformerBasic Tips in Installing an Electric Transformer

Electric Transformer is second most costly equipment installed in power system. Hence, special care to be taken during installation of a new power transformer in an electrical substation. During accessing the interior of a power transformer, the worker should empty their pockets of all loose articles so that there would not be......

Common Faults in Transformer and its ProtectionsCommon Faults in Transformer and its Protections

Transformer is a static device plus it is protected by the main circuit breaker thus there is almost no possibility of external fault to it other than internal faults like open circuit fault, over heating fault and winding short circuit fault. Open circuit fault occurs when one phase of transformer become......

Electrical Transformer Oil or Transformer Insulating OilElectrical Transformer Oil or Transformer Insulating Oil

Transformer oil is used in the oil filled transformer and in some other system such as high voltage capacitors, fluorescent lamp ballasts, circuit breaker etc. Basic requirement of transformer oil is that it should be stable at high temperatures with excellent electrical insulating properties and suitable cooling property. Standard for transformer......

Transformer Inspection and DiagnosticsTransformer Inspection and Diagnostics

I previously discussed about Complete Basics and Theory of an Electrical Transformer in which i discussed the uses, type and its construction Transformer is a static device, thus it requires less attention but with proper Periodic inspection & diagnostics of transformer it would be possible to avoid the unwanted break down......
