January 28, 2026 at 4:31 am in reply to: Why are transformers used in long distance power lines? #332375Linda JacksonMember
Necessary to optimize voltage-current ratio, minimize losses, stabilize grid, and interconnect regions.
January 27, 2026 at 5:58 pm in reply to: How to calculate the power factor of a transformer? #332295Linda JacksonMemberPF = kW / kVA = cos? from phase angle between V and I.
Linda JacksonMemberA Unit Auxiliary Transformer (UAT) feeds the turbine-generator island and plant auxiliaries directly from the generator output during normal operation. Loads include pumps, fans, heaters, controls, and balance-of-plant equipment. It works with a Station Service Transformer for startup and blackout recovery.
January 27, 2026 at 7:41 am in reply to: What does a step up transformer do in a power station? #332199Linda JacksonMemberA step-up transformer raises generator voltage (e.g. 13-24 kV) to transmission voltage (110-400 kV+). Higher voltage reduces current for the same power, lowering I²R losses and enabling long-distance power transfer. These generator step-up (GSU) units are critical for grid efficiency and stability.
January 26, 2026 at 9:09 pm in reply to: how to calculate the power output of a transformer? #332119Linda JacksonMemberFor a transformer, apparent power output is calculated as S = V? × I? for single phase, or S = ?3 × V? × I? for three phase, where V? is the secondary line voltage and I? is the line current. This gives kVA or MVA. Real power output is P = S × power factor. When calculating, engineers use rated voltages and currents from the nameplate for maximum output, or measured load values for real operating power. They also consider efficiency, since some input power is lost as heat and not delivered to the load.
Linda JacksonMemberPower transformers fail when subjected to short-circuits, overvoltages, internal insulation breakdown, thermal runaway, or gas accumulation from oil degradation. Utilities mitigate failure through relays, DGA, and condition monitoring.
Linda JacksonMemberVoltage class, MVA rating, losses guarantees, materials, customization, logistics, and commodity cycles influence pricing.
January 24, 2026 at 9:20 pm in reply to: Why does a power plant use a step up transformer for transmission? #331735Linda JacksonMemberStep-up conversion raises generator voltage to transmission levels, reducing I²R losses and enabling long-distance power transfer.
January 21, 2026 at 2:18 pm in reply to: What defines electrical power transformers in grid infrastructure? #330939Linda JacksonMemberIn grid infrastructure, electrical power transformers are defined as primary assets that interface different voltage levels and network segments. They must satisfy grid codes for voltage regulation, reliability indices, and fault performance. Their design is standardized around insulation levels, short-circuit capability, loss targets, and monitoring provisions. They are typically owned and maintained by utilities or transmission operators and are subject to rigorous asset management practices, including condition monitoring, diagnostics, and long-term planning.
January 20, 2026 at 5:47 pm in reply to: What effect does hydrolysis have when the moisture level in a transformer increases? #330630Linda JacksonMemberWhen moisture increases in a transformer, hydrolysis becomes one of the main aging mechanisms of the cellulose insulation. Water reacts with the polymer chains in paper and gradually breaks them down, reducing the degree of polymerization and mechanical strength. This process is irreversible and accelerates with temperature. Even moderate moisture can significantly shorten insulation life over time, which is why controlling moisture is more critical for long-term reliability than its immediate effect on oil dielectric strength alone.
January 20, 2026 at 3:04 pm in reply to: What diagnostic procedures apply to ac dc power transformers during refurbishment and insulation testing #330590Linda JacksonMemberDuring refurbishment, AC/DC converters or rectifier transformers undergo insulation resistance tests, polarization index, winding resistance, TTR, and often dielectric tests (applied and induced voltage). Oil-filled units get DGA and oil breakdown tests. Special attention is paid to DC stress patterns on insulation and rectifier connections. Visual inspection checks for thermal damage, loose connections, and contamination. Based on results, insulation drying, re-gasketing, and component replacement may be performed before final high-potential and functional tests.
