January 26, 2026 at 7:21 pm in reply to: which protection system is used for earth fault in power transformer? #332105Rachel WrightMember
Earth fault protection for power transformers commonly uses differential relays with restricted earth fault elements, residual over current relays, or separate neutral current transformers monitoring ground currents. On the high voltage side, directional earth fault protection may be applied to distinguish internal faults from external network faults. In grounded neutral systems, a CT on the neutral connection measures zero sequence current. Sensitive residual over current or restricted earth fault protection detects low magnitude faults near the neutral point that might not be seen by simple phase over current protection alone.
Rachel WrightMemberOLTC or NLTC tap changers regulate voltage under varying load and grid conditions, maintaining system stability and equipment protection.
January 25, 2026 at 1:11 am in reply to: Why are surplus power transformers used in industrial procurement? #331765Rachel WrightMemberSurplus units offer shorter lead times and reduced capital expenditure for expansions, temporary projects, or emergency replacements. Industries evaluate condition, testing reports, insulation class, and refurbishment history before deployment.
January 22, 2026 at 11:57 am in reply to: What does transformer power point refer to in electrical design? #331251Rachel WrightMemberIt refers to the location or node where a transformer interfaces with a circuit, providing voltage conversion and isolation for downstream equipment. In documentation it may also refer to presentation material explaining transformer operation.
January 21, 2026 at 3:21 pm in reply to: Who are major power transformer manufacturers in India? #330956Rachel WrightMemberIn India, major manufacturers supply HV and EHV transformers to central and state utilities, railways, and industrial users. They produce GSUs, autotransformers, and distribution units compliant with Indian and IEC standards. Their factories handle design, fabrication, tanking, oil processing, and high-voltage testing up to 765 kV class. Many also export to Africa, Middle East, and Southeast Asia, making India a significant hub for transformer manufacturing in the region.
January 21, 2026 at 10:11 am in reply to: Do you have any observations regarding the use of the TOR-5 online monitoring system on large transformers with an oil volume of 70-80 tons? #330864Rachel WrightMemberYes, there are some practical observations from applying TOR-5 on very large transformers (70-80 tons of oil). Technically the system works well, but expectations must be realistic: with such a large oil and paper mass, any drying or conditioning effect is necessarily slow. You should think in terms of months, not weeks, for noticeable moisture reduction in paper. The main value in these cases is trend monitoring and early warning (hydrogen, moisture dynamics), not fast conditioning. Flow rate relative to volume is small, so stability and long-term data are the key benefits rather than rapid improvement.
January 21, 2026 at 6:00 am in reply to: From what volume of oil in a transformer can the continuous online drying unit CMM-260C be connected? #330804Rachel WrightMemberIn practice, CMM-260C is intended for medium and large oil volumes, not for small distribution transformers. Typical application starts from about 5-10 tons of oil and above, where continuous conditioning makes economic and technical sense. For very small oil volumes, the circulation rate would be too high relative to tank volume and control becomes difficult. The unit is mainly justified for power transformers where long-term moisture stabilization is required.
January 20, 2026 at 10:50 am in reply to: What does differential protection do in a power transformer? #330514Rachel WrightMemberDifferential protection compares current entering and leaving the transformer windings. If differences exceed thresholds, it signals internal faults such as winding short circuits or tap changer failures. Differential relays provide fast, selective protection to isolate the transformer before severe thermal or mechanical damage occurs.
January 20, 2026 at 1:19 am in reply to: How is a power transformer built from core and winding materials? #330438Rachel WrightMemberConstruction begins with laminated or stacked core, followed by primary/secondary windings, insulation barriers, clamping structures, tanking, oil filling, and accessories.
January 19, 2026 at 1:29 am in reply to: What does a power electric transformer do in energy distribution? #330272Rachel WrightMemberA power electric transformer enables efficient energy distribution by converting voltage levels between generation, transmission, and utilization tiers. It steps up voltage for long-distance transmission, reducing current and I²R losses, and steps it down near loads for safe consumption. By providing isolation and impedance, transformers also help manage fault currents and support protective coordination. In modern systems, their behavior influences voltage stability, loss profiles, and overall reliability of the interconnected grid.
January 19, 2026 at 12:03 am in reply to: What is inside a power pole transformer used in residential grids? #330264Rachel WrightMemberA pole transformer contains laminated core, oil-immersed windings, insulation, bushings, fuse links, surge arresters and sometimes tap settings. It steps medium voltage to 120/240 V for households and uses mineral or ester oil for cooling and insulation.
January 18, 2026 at 5:58 pm in reply to: Where is a 110 kV power transformer installed in grid systems? #330230Rachel WrightMember110 kV transformers are installed in sub-transmission substations bridging transmission and medium voltage feeders for regional grids.

September 17, 2025 at 3:20 pm in reply to: What is maintenance transformer and what should be done regularly? #325613Rachel WrightMember“Maintenance transformer” refers to scheduled inspections and oil servicing. GlobeCore recommends oil analysis every 6–12 months and purification or regeneration when BDV or moisture fall below limits.
Rachel WrightMemberThe DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) test detects fault gases in oil. Before running the test, oil should be degassed to avoid false results. GlobeCore offers degassing units that prepare oil for accurate DGA readings and extend equipment life.
September 9, 2025 at 6:27 pm in reply to: How often should transformer oil filtration be done? #325036Rachel WrightMemberFrequency depends on transformer load and environmental conditions but is often recommended every 2–3 years. GlobeCore’s equipment allows quick on-site filtration or regeneration – reducing the need for oil replacement or external service.
September 9, 2025 at 2:49 pm in reply to: What are transformer oil filtration units used for? #325004Rachel WrightMemberTransformer oil filtration units remove moisture, gas, and particles from insulating oil to restore its dielectric strength.
