What else can I help you with?
Would you install three-phase transformer or bank of three single phase transformer in a large power station and justify by comparing the two schemes?
A three-phase transformer bank is often used in power stations because it is easier to construct and transport very large single-phase transformers, compared with constructing and transforming an equivalent-capacity three-phase transformer.
How do you find capacity of transformer?
If the load is single equipment, calculating the capacity of the generator or transformer is fairly straight forward. If the load is mix of various several different equipment it would be more complicated to arrive at transformer / Generator capacity. Complexity increases if you have to estimate some future unknown loads. The rating of the generator or transformer should be such that it is loaded optimally, average being say 80 to 95 %. Since maximum efficiency of generator or transformer generally occur at these range. Also this ensures that it is not overloaded continuously and there is room for occasional short time full load too. You need to check the data sheet of the transformer or generator for more correct information. One need to know the maximum load or peak load, average load and diversity factor and load factor. These values drive the decision on the rating of the transformer or Generator.
What type of transformer has only a single winding?
the auto transformer is the one winding transformer. it ismaily used in practical purpose.
Can 3 single phase transformers can replace 1 three phase transformer?
Yes, you can use three single phase transformers on three phase applications and interconnect them to serve as a single transformer or you could use one single phase transformer fed from two of the three lines in a step down application.
What are the criteria to obtain a maximum efficiency of a single transformer?
To achieve maximum efficiency in a single transformer, the following criteria should be met: the load should match the transformer's rated capacity, minimizing losses from copper (I²R losses) and iron (core losses). The transformer should operate at or near its rated voltage and frequency to optimize performance. Additionally, a suitable core material with low hysteresis and eddy current losses, along with proper cooling to manage temperature, contributes to enhanced efficiency.

What size wire 100 kva transformer?
Wire sizing of a feed conductor is based on the amperage that a device draws. To calculate amperage from KVA a voltage of the supply has to be stated. Without this voltage and whether the transformer is single or three phase an answer can not be given.

What is the current of 1MVA transformer?
This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.
How do you size a transformer based on amperage I have a 1 KVA single phase transformer I was told I can only put 4 amps across the secondary. This transformer is 240 volt primary 120 volt secondary?
On a 1kva you have 1000 watts capacity. To fine the current the formula is I = W/E. The secondary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000/120 = 8.3 amps. In your question you do not put the amps across the secondary you draw amps from it. Using the transformer to its maximum, without overloading it, the primary will be 4.16 amps at 240 volts and the secondary will be 8.33 at 120 volts. <<>> voltage times amps equals wattage
How many 120 volt 7 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva single phase transformer?
To determine how many 120-volt, 7-amp lights can be run on a 15 kVA transformer, first convert the transformer capacity to watts: 15 kVA equals 15,000 watts. Each light draws 120 volts * 7 amps = 840 watts. Dividing the transformer capacity by the wattage of each light gives 15,000 watts / 840 watts per light ≈ 17.86. Therefore, you can run a maximum of 17 lights on a 15 kVA transformer.
How do you convert a 110volt turbo oven to 220volt purchased in America you live in UK?
Buy a double wound step-down transformer (230/115 volts) of he appropriate capacity (kva) . You may have to replace the plug on your oven to match the output socket of the transformer if you buy this in England. Do not buy a single wound (auto transformer) as it can be extremely dangerous if it is wrongly connected.Alwyn.
How the voltage is induced in a single phase transformer?
The changing magnetic flux in the iron core of the transformer induces a voltage in the windings.
Why the need of harmonics in single phase transformer?
Harmonics are really not needed in single phase transformers.
