How do power transformers work?
There are various types of transformer used in the electrical power system for different purposes, like generation, distribution, transmission and utilization of electrical power. The power transformer is one of them and it is very vital in the transmission process.The power transformers are used in the transmission networks of higher voltages. They are larger in size and are rated as follows 400 KV, 200 KV, 110 KV, 66 KV, 33 KV. They are mainly rated above 200 MVA. Power transformers are mainly

10 Benefits of using a Transformer
A transformer is an electrical device that helps to distribute electrical energy evenly among multiple circuits. This is done by increasing or decreasing the voltage in the original circuit. Transformers are especially useful in cases where circuits need to be isolated from each other or when the voltage in one circuit needs to be changed. The transformer is made up of two coils that are not connected electrically. They work based on the Faraday principle of mutual induction. This means that whe

What are the six different types of electrical power transformers
When people here the word transformers, many things come to mind, could be the movie “The transformers” could be what transforms a thing from one state to another. But electrical transformers changes the electrical signal strength from one level to another. So how does a power transformer work?A power transformer works by taking advantage of the fact that an electrical current can create a magnetic field, and that a changing magnetic field can induce an electrical current. In a transformer, an a

POWER TRANSFORMER MAINTENANCE
Power transformers are stationary electrical machines used for transforming power from one circuit to another without changing frequency. This is a very basic definition of transformer. Since, there is no rotating or moving part, so a transformer is a static device. Transformer operates on an A/C supply. A transformer works on the principle of mutual induction. As the leader in distribution of power transformers in Nigeria, GZ has understood how to ensure power transformers are well maintained a

HOW TO TEST POWER TRANSFORMER
HOW TO TEST POWER TRANSFORMERA transformer is defined as a passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through the process of electromagnetic induction. It is most commonly used to increase (‘step up’) or decrease (‘step down’) voltage levels between circuits.Power transformers are electric devices that are used to step up or step down the voltage level of its supply source. The stepping up or down depends upon the number of turns of primary and seconda
