Terminology of Transformers
Power industry is growing more incredibly. The application of Transformers also increases from industries to house hold for various purposes. We all come across specifications of the transformers at some point of time. Especially if you are looking to buy transformers you should be aware of the terms. Knowing some basic terms about transformers helps in selecting right transformer for your requirement. Single Phase - Single phase transformer utilizes single phase alternating current and output single phase AC power. Used for household purpose. Three Phase: Three phase transformers are made of three sets of primary and secondary windings used especially in power and distribution systems. Rating : It is the capacity of a transformer i.e the maximum voltage for which transformer is designed. Expressed in kVA. Impedance : It is the percentage of voltage drop in transformer on full load. Occurs due to winding resistance and leakage reactance. Power factor
