enero 27, 2026 a las 12:03 pm en respuesta a: How can you measure the vector group of a large power transformer? #332237Fatima AlhassanMiembroApplied-voltage phase rotation tests and phasor comparison between HV and LV terminals verify clock notation (e.g. Dyn11). Used for parallel operation and protection.
enero 26, 2026 a las 2:43 pm en respuesta a: Why is neutral earthing used in a power transformer? #332067Fatima AlhassanMiembroNeutral grounding controls fault currents, stabilizes phase voltages, and enables relay coordination. Variants include solid, resistive, and reactance grounding.
enero 26, 2026 a las 2:12 pm en respuesta a: Why is an automatic voltage regulator used with a power transformer? #332062Fatima AlhassanMiembroAVRs compensate for feeder voltage variations and maintain acceptable LV levels for end users, improving power quality.
enero 25, 2026 a las 4:37 pm en respuesta a: What markets drive power transformers sales worldwide? #331885Fatima AlhassanMiembroTransmission and distribution utilities, industrial plants, renewable integration, data centers, rail traction, mining, and oil & gas drive global demand.
enero 25, 2026 a las 6:51 am en respuesta a: What does the turn ratio test of a power transformer verify? #331809Fatima AlhassanMiembroThe turns ratio test verifies correct voltage ratio between windings, proper vector group, polarity, and tap settings. Deviations may indicate winding deformation, shorted turns, or tap changer faults.
enero 24, 2026 a las 3:25 pm en respuesta a: Where are Siemens power transformer solutions deployed? #331689Fatima AlhassanMiembroSiemens transformers are deployed in transmission and distribution substations, HVDC converter stations, renewables, mining, petrochemical, rail, and heavy industrial campuses.
enero 24, 2026 a las 3:35 am en respuesta a: What causes reactive power consumption in transformers? #331585Fatima AlhassanMiembroReactive power is consumed by the transformer’s magnetizing current and leakage inductance. To establish alternating flux in the core, a magnetizing component of current lags the voltage and contributes to reactive power draw, even at no-load. Leakage inductance around windings and stray capacitances also affect reactive power behavior. Under load, the combination of magnetizing current and the load’s own reactive characteristics determines the overall power factor and reactive demand seen by the upstream network.
enero 23, 2026 a las 4:01 pm en respuesta a: How are power pole transformers tested for oil dielectric breakdown during routine maintenance? #331498Fatima AlhassanMiembroPole transformers undergoing maintenance may have oil samples sent for dielectric breakdown voltage testing. The test measures the oil’s ability to withstand electric stress without arcing, indicating contamination or moisture.
Fatima AlhassanMiembroIt performs voltage conversion between generation, transmission, and distribution voltage tiers. By stepping voltage up for bulk transmission and down for end users, transformers reduce losses and ensure safe utilization.
enero 21, 2026 a las 6:14 pm en respuesta a: How does the US-6S ensure even drying throughout the transformer core? #331002Fatima AlhassanMiembroUniform drying is achieved through a combination of controlled heating media (oil or electric heaters), circulating fans, and precise vacuum regulation. The circulation and exhaust systems promote consistent temperature distribution, while a sealed vacuum chamber prevents external air ingress. This integrated design ensures moisture is removed evenly from all core regions.
enero 21, 2026 a las 11:08 am en respuesta a: What functions does a power plant transformer perform in generation and step up processes? #330877Fatima AlhassanMiembroIn a power plant the generator step up transformer connects the generator stator to the high voltage transmission network. It raises generator voltage to transmission levels which minimizes current and line losses for long distance transport. These transformers must handle high short circuit currents, continuous high load and frequent grid disturbances. Auxiliary transformers in the plant also step down voltage for station service loads such as pumps, cooling systems and control power, ensuring reliable operation of all plant subsystems.
enero 21, 2026 a las 9:17 am en respuesta a: What is the particle size of SBS after grinding in a GlobeCore colloid mill in PMB? #330851Fatima AlhassanMiembroIn practice, after processing SBS in a GlobeCore colloid mill, the typical particle size in PMB is in the range of 1-10 microns, depending on gap setting, shear rate, and polymer grade. This size is small enough to ensure uniform dispersion and fast swelling in bitumen. Finer grinding mainly improves curing speed and storage stability, while going much below a few microns brings little additional benefit for PMB performance.
enero 21, 2026 a las 6:23 am en respuesta a: Where are hi-power transformers used in industrial systems? #330810Fatima AlhassanMiembroHigh-power transformers feed megawatt-scale loads such as smelters, arc furnaces, refineries, chemical plants, mining equipment, and rolling mills.
enero 20, 2026 a las 3:23 pm en respuesta a: What is the permissible pH level for transformer oil? #330596Fatima AlhassanMiembroIn practice, transformer oil should remain neutral to slightly acidic, and pH is not usually the primary control parameter, but it is still indicative of oil aging. For fresh mineral oil, pH is typically in the range of about 6.5 to 7.5. During service, slight acidification is acceptable, but a pH dropping below roughly 5.5-6.0 usually indicates significant oxidation and formation of acidic by-products. At that point, further testing of acid number (TAN) and sludge formation becomes more important than pH alone.
enero 18, 2026 a las 9:55 pm en respuesta a: What is the function of a drain valve on a power transformer? #330252Fatima AlhassanMiembroA drain valve allows controlled removal of insulating oil during sampling, maintenance or tank emptying.
