Reduce core losses via better steel/amorphous alloys; reduce copper losses via larger cross-sections; optimize cooling, PF correction, and operate near design loading.
David AllenMiembroInsulation PF test (tan ?) applies AC at rated voltage; dissipation factor indicates dielectric condition of windings, bushings, and oil. Field test per IEC/IEEE.
enero 27, 2026 a las 8:58 am en respuesta a: Explain how short circuit test is carried out on a power transformer? #332209David AllenMiembroA short-circuit (short-circuit impedance) test energizes one winding at rated current while the opposite winding is shorted. Only copper losses dominate because voltage is low. The test yields impedance, copper losses, and thermal behavior used for protection and fault studies.
David AllenMiembroPower transformers are used at key nodes of the electrical network. Typical locations include generator step up substations at power plants, high voltage transmission substations, interconnection points between different voltage tiers, large industrial plants and major distribution substations feeding cities or regions. They serve wherever significant power flows between circuits at different voltage levels. Smaller power transformers also appear inside industrial equipment, traction systems and large renewable plants, linking inverters or generators to medium and high voltage networks.
enero 24, 2026 a las 4:27 pm en respuesta a: How do you calculate transformer power from voltage and current? #331697David AllenMiembroSingle-phase: kVA = V × I / 1000. Three-phase: kVA = ?3 × V × I / 1000.
enero 24, 2026 a las 7:11 am en respuesta a: Where is a residential power transformer installed in neighborhood grids? #331613David AllenMiembroResidential transformers are pole-mounted or pad-mounted along streets, stepping MV (e.g., 4-15 kV) to LV (e.g., 120/240 V) for houses and small businesses.
enero 23, 2026 a las 10:42 pm en respuesta a: How does a power and distribution transformer differ in application? #331549David AllenMiembroPower transformers operate at transmission voltages and high kVA ratings; distribution transformers supply end users at utilization voltages with better regulation at variable loads.
enero 23, 2026 a las 5:38 am en respuesta a: What engineering challenges arise when designing the smallest power transformer? #331399David AllenMiembroMiniaturization challenges include core saturation, thermal dissipation, winding insulation thickness, parasitics, and efficiency at high frequency (for SMPS designs). Designers balance size, losses, and manufacturability.
enero 22, 2026 a las 7:59 am en respuesta a: What does a Saudi power transformer company manufacture for the grid sector? #331200David AllenMiembroIt manufactures transmission and distribution transformers, reactors, and related substation components tailored for high temperature and desert operating environments.
enero 22, 2026 a las 5:52 am en respuesta a: What key degradation products are removed by the CMM-12R oil regeneration systems? #331169David AllenMiembroThe system removes moisture, gases, acidic compounds, and oil decomposition products that accumulate during service, which degrade insulation performance and increase the risk of dielectric failure.
enero 22, 2026 a las 5:16 am en respuesta a: What is the primary purpose of the CMM-12R oil regeneration systems? #331161David AllenMiembroThe primary purpose of the CMM-12R oil regeneration systems is to restore used transformer insulating oil to a condition close to new by removing degradation products, moisture, gases, acidic compounds, and oxidation by-products. This extends transformer service life and reduces the need for oil replacement.
enero 22, 2026 a las 1:06 am en respuesta a: In what climates and environments can the CMM-G operate? #331101David AllenMiembroDesigned for harsh climates, the CMM-G supports operations in cold or hot conditions common at wind farms worldwide. Its robust components, trailer mounting, and protective enclosures ensure it maintains performance and reliability across a range of field conditions, minimizing weather-related delays.
enero 21, 2026 a las 5:38 pm en respuesta a: Why is moisture removal from transformer insulation crucial? #330989David AllenMiembroMoisture in transformer insulation significantly lowers dielectric strength, leading to electrical breakdown under operating stress. Proper drying increases dielectric strength up to 20× compared to undried insulation. Removing both water and air voids restores insulation integrity, extends transformer life, and minimizes risk of insulation failure or short circuits in service.
enero 21, 2026 a las 3:53 pm en respuesta a: What industries rely on a power transformer manufacturer in Indonesia? #330963David AllenMiembroIn Indonesia utilities, mining companies, oil and gas facilities, cement plants, manufacturing parks, pulp and paper mills and urban infrastructure projects rely on local or regional transformer manufacturers. These industries need distribution and power transformers for substations, internal plant networks and renewable energy projects. Local manufacturing reduces import lead time, eases service logistics and supports government policies on domestic content. Offshore installations and remote mining operations particularly benefit from responsive regional transformer support.
enero 21, 2026 a las 9:01 am en respuesta a: Where are Hyundai power transformers manufactured in Alabama? #330847David AllenMiembroHyundai Power Transformers USA (Montgomery, AL) manufactures large power transformers for North American utilities, transmission operators, industrial plants, and renewable projects.
enero 19, 2026 a las 9:01 am en respuesta a: What are AC power transformers used for in residential and industrial distribution? #330314David AllenMiembroAC power transformers enable voltage conversion and isolation from generation to end user. Residential systems rely on distribution transformers to supply 120/240V or 230/400V, while industrial systems may require 3-phase MV step-down for motors, drives, and process equipment.
noviembre 8, 2025 a las 8:35 am en respuesta a: In order to do internal calibration for TOR-3, do you use Standard Oil? If yes, where can we find this Standard Oil? #327196David AllenMiembroYes, calibration of the TOR-3 device is performed using certified reference (standard) insulating oil according to IEC 60156. Equivalent calibration oil can be purchased from certified laboratory-oil suppliers; specifications are listed in the TOR-3 manual.
