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 : It is the ratio of working power to apparent power.
It depends on the magnitude of load. It increases as load increases, with
resistive load it goes upto 0.9 and more.
Efficiency : Efficiency of a transformer is the ratio of input
power to output power. Most of the transformers will have full load efficiency
of 95% to 98.5%.
Cooling Methods : Transformers generate large of amount during its
operation and it is dissipated using coolant. Based on the coolant used
transformers are classified into two types. Dry-type transformers use air as
coolant and oil-filled transformers use oil as coolant.
