As with most of electrical equipment, the key causes of failure of power transformers are either due to electrical failure or mechanical failure. These failures don’t occur that often as compared with other failures in other electrical equipment like switchgear… Read more

Testing Power and Distribution Transformers
The typical practice for testing power and distribution transformers is to carry out a comprehensive set of tests at the manufacturer’s works. The number and nature of the tests depend on whether the transformer is the first of a new … Read more
What is the difference between a Power transformer and a Distribution Transformer?
Introduction
The transformer, in simple terms can be defined as the voltage regulator. It helps in stepping up and stepping down of the voltages. We all have seen transformers in our locality, where the current is passed from higher voltage … Read more
Ideal Transformers
A transformer consists of several coils wound on a common core that usually consists of laminated iron (to reduce eddy-current loss).
Transformers are usually used to adjust the values of ac voltages. A transformer can step up or step down … Read more
