Substation Bushing
The bushing layout on substation transformers isn’t quite as simple as bushings on padmount transformers. The bushings on a padmount are always in the cabinet on the front of the unit with low-voltage bushings on the right and the high-voltage bushings on the left. Subst...Read more -
Understanding the H0 Connection of Three-Phase Distribution Transformers
The H0 connection in a three-phase distribution transformer is a critical aspect of the transformer’s design, particularly in the context of grounding and system stability. This connection refers to the neutral or grounding point of the high-voltage (HV) winding in a transformer, typically ...Read more -
Understanding the Differences in Pad-Mounted Transformers:
Loop Feed vs Radial Feed, Dead Front vs Live Front When it comes to pad-mounted transformers, it's essential to choose the right setup based on your application. Today, let's dive into two key factors: the loop feed vs radial feed configuration...Read more -
The Future of Transformer Core Materials
In electrical engineering and energy distribution, transformers play a pivotal role in ensuring system reliability and efficiency by transforming electrical energy from one voltage to another. The core material, a critical element dictating transformer performance and efficiency, is at the heart ...Read more -
Substation transformer terminal enclosures
For the safety of anyone who might come into contact with a transformer, regulations require that all terminals be placed out of reach. Additionally, unless the bushings are rated for outdoor use—like top-mounted bushings—they must also be enclosed. Having the substation bushings covered keeps wa...Read more -
Innovative Materials Used in Transformer Manufacturing
Transformers are significant components in the electrical distribution network, serving as the backbone for efficient energy transfer from power generation plants to end-users. As the advancement of technology and growing demand for energy efficiency, the materials used in transformer manufacturi...Read more -
Transformer Tap Changer
The voltage regulating device of the transformer is divided into the transformer “off-excitation” voltage regulating device and the transformer “on-load” tap changer. Both refer to the voltage regulating mode of the transformer tap changer, so what is the difference betwee...Read more -
Exploring the Role of Energy Storage Transformers
As the global energy landscape rapidly shifts towards renewable sources, the importance of efficient energy storage systems has never been greater. At the heart of these systems are energy storage transformers (ESTs), which play a crucial role in managing and optimizing ...Read more -
Protecting Transformer Oil with a Nitrogen Blanket
In transformers, a nitrogen blanket is specifically used to protect the transformer oil from exposure to air, particularly oxygen and moisture. This is important because transformer oil, which serves as both an insulator and a coolant, can degrade if it comes into contact with oxygen. The degrada...Read more -
Advantages of dry-type transformers compared with oil-immersed transformers
Dry-type transformer refers to a power transformer whose core and winding are not immersed in insulating oil and adopts natural cooling or air cooling. As a late-emerging power distribution equipment, it has been widely used in power transmission and transformation systems in factory workshops, h...Read more -
Power Transformer: An introduction, Working and Essential Accessories
Introduction Transformer is a static device which transforms AC electrical power from one voltage to another voltage keeping the frequency same by electromagnetic induction principle. Input to a transformer and output from a transformer both are alternating quantities (...Read more -
EARTHING TRANSFORMERS
An earthing transformer, also known as a grounding transformer, is a type of transformer that is used to create a protective earth connection for electrical systems. It consists of an electrical winding that is connected to the earth and is designed to create a neutral point that is grounded. Ear...Read more
