enero 27, 2026 a las 10:21 pm en respuesta a: How to calculate the power rating of a transformer? #332329Christopher HansenMiembro
Rating in kVA/MVA = V × I (1?) or ?3 × V × I (3?) at rated temperature rise, cooling class, and duty cycle.
enero 27, 2026 a las 7:46 pm en respuesta a: How to calculate the power factor of a transformer? #332309Christopher HansenMiembroPF = kW / kVA or PF = cos?. Measured by comparing real and apparent power using meters or power analyzers during OC/SC tests or in-service diagnostics.
Christopher HansenMiembroLarge substation/GSU units range from USD 1-20+ million depending on MVA, voltage, cooling, and standards.
enero 26, 2026 a las 7:16 am en respuesta a: how much power does a transformer use when idle? #331993Christopher HansenMiembroIdle (no-load) losses depend on transformer size. Small low-voltage units may waste fractions of a watt to a few watts, while medium and large substation transformers can incur no-load losses in the tens to hundreds of kilowatts. No-load losses are dominated by core material and geometry.
enero 25, 2026 a las 11:49 pm en respuesta a: What does a power transformer company manufacture for utility markets? #331937Christopher HansenMiembroUtility-oriented firms supply medium and high-voltage step-up/step-down transformers, instrument transformers, and substation accessories built to IEC/IEEE standards for long-life grid operation.
enero 25, 2026 a las 4:22 pm en respuesta a: What conditions must be met for power transformer parallel operation? #331883Christopher HansenMiembroTransformers operating in parallel must have the same voltage ratio, vector group, phase sequence, and similar impedance and tap settings. kVA ratings should be reasonably matched to share load proportionally. Differences in impedance or ratio cause circulating currents and unequal load sharing, leading to overheating or protection misoperation. Proper phase checks, synchronization, and settings coordination are required before closing parallel breakers. Utilities follow detailed procedures to verify all conditions prior to enabling parallel operation on busbars.
enero 24, 2026 a las 7:01 pm en respuesta a: What is included in the specification of a power transformer? #331717Christopher HansenMiembroSpecification includes electrical ratings, insulation, tap range, cooling, losses, tolerances, standards, tests, accessories, protection interfaces and documentation. It ensures manufacturer alignment with utility requirements.
enero 24, 2026 a las 9:45 am en respuesta a: What steps are involved in repair of a power transformer? #331645Christopher HansenMiembroSame as above: diagnostics, mechanical and dielectric repairs, oil treatment, retesting, and recommissioning.
enero 23, 2026 a las 10:11 pm en respuesta a: What is the difference between a power transformer vs a distribution transformer? #331545Christopher HansenMiembroPower transformers interface generation to transmission and transmission to sub-transmission; distribution transformers step medium voltage down to LV for consumers. They differ in insulation levels, tap control, cooling, loss design and duty cycle.
enero 23, 2026 a las 4:17 pm en respuesta a: How is transformer power factor measured in electrical systems? #331500Christopher HansenMiembroPower analyzers or revenue meters measure voltage, current, and phase angle to compute PF under real operating conditions.
enero 22, 2026 a las 1:00 pm en respuesta a: What does the symbol of a power transformer represent in circuit diagrams? #331259Christopher HansenMiembroIt represents coupled windings on a shared magnetic core that provide galvanic isolation and voltage transformation between circuits.
enero 22, 2026 a las 7:43 am en respuesta a: What does a power transformer company manufacture for the grid? #331196Christopher HansenMiembroIt manufactures large power transformers, distribution units, OLTC assemblies, bushings, monitoring accessories, and replacement parts used in transmission and distribution networks.
enero 21, 2026 a las 8:24 am en respuesta a: Does the dosage of bitumen modifiers change the curing time? #330838Christopher HansenMiembroYes, modifier dosage has a direct and often strong influence on curing time. Higher polymer content increases viscosity and swelling time, especially for SBS, so the digestion period must be longer to achieve full polymer swelling and phase inversion. At low dosages, curing may stabilize in tens of minutes, while at high dosages it can take several hours. That is why curing time is always optimized experimentally for each formulation, not fixed by temperature alone.
enero 21, 2026 a las 1:32 am en respuesta a: How much does a change in temperature/humidity affect the properties of transformer oil or paper insulation? #330740Christopher HansenMiembroTemperature and humidity have a very strong influence on both oil and paper properties, often more through dynamics than through absolute values. Rising temperature increases oil’s water solubility, so the same moisture content in ppm can correspond to very different relative saturation and dielectric risk. At the same time, higher temperature accelerates oxidation of oil and hydrolytic aging of cellulose exponentially. Ambient humidity mainly affects the system through breathing and seals: moisture ingress slowly raises paper moisture, which then governs long-term dielectric strength and mechanical life. In practice, it is the combination of temperature cycles and moisture migration that drives most insulation aging, not either factor alone.
enero 19, 2026 a las 4:00 am en respuesta a: What information does a power transformer wiki typically summarize? #330286Christopher HansenMiembroA power transformer wiki page typically summarizes definition, principle of operation, construction (core, coils, insulation, tank), cooling methods, efficiency, ratings, standards, common applications in transmission and distribution, and typical failure modes. It may also cover historical development and modern trends such as digital monitoring, higher voltage classes, and renewable integration. Such summaries are broad and educational, aimed at explaining how transformers fit into electrical power systems.
noviembre 11, 2025 a las 9:28 pm en respuesta a: Looking for price and application details for AVS-100 and AVS-150 for synthetic fuel production. #327539Christopher HansenMiembroThe AVS-100 and AVS-150 can be used for synthetic fuel production through cavitation-assisted emulsification and activation. AVS-150 is preferred for continuous high-load operation.
