Measures to Overcome the Effect of Mechanical Forces on Transformer

Mechanical Forces on Transformer To overcome the problems of mechanical forces, circular coils should be used for the windings, as they can with stand the radial forces (in circular coils radial forces are cancelled by each other). Wherever it is not possible to use the circular coils, (e.g. shell type transformer) they should be braced … Read more

Difference between Power Transformer and Distribution Transformer

Comparison of Power Transformer and Distribution Transformer Q. Compare power transformer with distribution transformer Sr. No. Power Transformer Distribution Transformer 1 The rating of power transformer is very high (in MV As). The rating is in KVA and small. 2 This are used at generating stations is very high voltage transmission line and at receiving … Read more

Induced Over Voltage Withstand Test of Transformer

Induced over-voltage withstand test This test is routine test i.e. it is carried on all the transformers. Before commissioning the transformer it is necessary to know that the insulation resistance of a transformer is greater than a specified value, to avoid excessive leakage currents. Megger test for insulation are carried out between windings, between winding … Read more

MCB breaker VS Fuse, Difference between Fuse and MCB in Details

FUSE In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current. It is a sacrificial device; once a fuse … Read more

Separate Source Voltage Withstand Test of Transformer

Separate source voltage withstand test of Transformer (Power frequency) Q. Explain with neat sketch power frequency high voltage test on transformer. Before commissioning the transformer it is necessary to know that the insulation resistance of a transformer is greater than a specified value, to avoid excessive leakage currents. Megger test for insulation are carried out … Read more

Impulse Test of Transformer, Measurement of Insulation Resistance of Transformer

Impulse Test of Transformer Q. State how insulation resistance of a transformer is measured. Measurement of Insulation Resistance of Transformer Before commissioning the transformer it is necessary to know that the insulation resistance of a transformer is greater than a specified value, to avoid excessive leakage currents. Megger test for insulation are carried out between … Read more

Working of Inverter, House Inverter का Wiring Connection कैसे करना है, Wiring of Inverter

Working of Inverter Inverters convert DC Power into AC Power. An inverter is used to produce an un-interrupted 220V AC or 110V AC (depending on the line voltage of the particular country) supply to the device connected as the load at the output socket. The inverter gives constant AC voltage at its output socket when … Read more
