A tap changer is a device fitted to power transformers for regulation of the output voltage to required levels. On-load tap-changers (OLTCs) are indispensable in regulating power transformers used in electrical energy networks and industrial applications. OLTC changer alters the turn ratios of the transformer on the system by altering the number of turns in… Read More: What is On Load Tap Changer OLTC in Transformers »
The rated voltage ratio of the transformers at no load normally is specified at 50 Hz, this being related to the principal tapping of the transformer. Tapping shall be provided on the primary winding to provide a ratio variation of +7.5% and –2.5% in steps of 2.5%. The tap charge mechanism is of the off load… Read More: Medium Voltage Indoor Dry Type Transformers Rating, Rated Voltage, Frequency… »
Transformer winding resistance is very important factor for the life of any transformer, this test is part of type tests, routine tests and field tests. The purpose of winding resistance test is to determine the following: Calculation of the I2R losses in transformer. Calculation of winding temperature at the end of temperature rise test of transformer. As a benchmark… Read More: How To Measure Transformer Winding Resistance »
