A transformer is a static device used to step up or step down the voltage. these are available in a wide range.
A Transformer has a primary side and a secondary side. One is a high voltage(HV) side and the other is a low voltage(LV) side depending upon the application. If someone buys a transformer from the market. He or she doesn’t get to know, which is the HV side and which is the LV side by … Read more
Introduction Efficiency is a crucial aspect of any industry, and the transformer is no exception. In the electrical power industry, transformer efficiency is defined as the ratio of the output power to the input power, typically expressed as a percentage. A transformer with high efficiency is able to transfer more power from the input side … Read more
Continuous Electro-mechanical energy conversion takes place in an Electrical Machine. The transformer is not an Electrical Machine. It is a static device, that does not convert electrical energy to mechanical energy and vice versa. In Short, Transformer is a thing in an electrical component that Steps up or down the voltage. The Step-up transformer increases … Read more
Open and short circuit test are carried out to determine the equivalent circuit parameters of a single phase or 3 phase Transformer. Open circuit or the OC test of a transformer is used to measure “CORE losses“. Whereas Short circuit or SC test of a transformer is used to measure the “Full load copper loss“. … Read more
