Transformer parts name

As shown in the figure, the basic parts of a distribution transformer are as follows: A. Hand Hole –The hand hole, as the name implies, serves as an access point of a technician to tap changers/mechanisms located inside the tank without the need of opening the cover. Most modern transformers have tap changers located outside the tank for convenience. B. Lifting Lugs – This is used, where the hook/rope is connected, for lifting, either using a hoist or a crane. C. Terminal Markings (Secondary) – The markings provide identification about the terminals of a transformer. D. LV Bushing – The bushing is made of porcelain. It serves as the output and is the low voltage side of the transformer, which usually supplies power on residential/commercial establishments. E. Ground Tap – As the name implies, this is where the grounding of the transformer is connected. F. Transformer Markings – Are markings which indicate the capacity (in Kilovolt-amperes) of a transformer and its voltage output. G. Radiator Fins –This is the cooling mechanism of a transformer. The cooling mechanism of a transformer depends on the size or rating of the transformer. The bigger the rating, the more cooling mechanisms are used. Take note that in order to maintain operation of the transformer for a long period of time, it is necessary to keep the temperature to be stable. H. Casing (Tank) – It is generally made of steel. It encloses the core-coil and is the container for the liquid coolant/insulant. I. HV Bush...

Distribution Transformer- At present, finding a convenient as well as a desirable place for installing a distribution transformer is one of the major problems faced by the transformers’ designers. It is severe, so energy departments require to plan for a suitable place for placement by considering the load, possibility, load center, and further development, etc., especially in urban regions. This form of the transformer can be configured on a single pole or H pole according to the weight, size, and requirements of the device. Accordingly, the option for installation of this device can be performed by the distribution designer based on the availability and capability of space. A distribution transformer can be modeled in the same way as a small size transformer. The conservator, breather unit, oil tank, oil indicator, pressure relief device, buchholz relay, radiator, temperature detector, thermal relay, and bushing are the key components of this transformer. A distribution transformer is a crucial product of industrial tool use. Distribution Transformers are available from a variety of suppliers and companies, as well as various Manufacturers and Distributors, and there are many Distribution Transformers For Sale on Linquip. There is a comprehensive list of distribution transformer services on the Linquip website that covers all of your electrical needs. Linquip vendors can assist you with this.

Transformer ‘name’ on the plate As we all know, all substation equipment (should) have a metal plate with its “name” on it. Here we’ll discuss power and distribution transformers and information that their nameplates carry. It’s usually attached to the tank in a visible place and gives vital information on how the transformer is connected and operated. The data is printed or stamped on the nameplate more often, so it is essentially a permanent part of the transformer. Learn how to interpret transformer nameplate information A transformer’s nameplate has been compared to a birth certificate because it contains so many vital statistics that will follow it throughout its service life. In this technical article, examples of actual transformer nameplate information are illustrated and the data provided on the nameplate are analyzed. Table of Contents: • • • • • • • • • • • • There are hundreds of thousands of transformer nameplates installed out there with differences in size and information displayed. However, the minimum information to be shown on a transformer nameplate depends on the transformer’s KVA rating as specified in the standards. The standards require the following information for transformers rated above 500 KVA: • Name of manufacturer • Serial number • Month/year of manufacture • Cooling class Where the class of transformer involves more than one rating, all ratings are shown. Windings having different ratings have their individual KVA ratings described. If the t...
