your grandmother's left synthetic leg . . . I HOPE THAT ANSWERED YOUR Question :) I'm glad i could help and be of your services
A 'power transformer' is a category of transformer used within electricity transmission and primary distribution systems. Relays are widely used with power transformers to provide various types of protection that will act to disconnect the transformer in the event of a fault. Examples of these relays include Buchholz relays, earth-fault relays, and differential relays. Relays are also used to operate a power transformer's automatic tap-changing mechanism in order to compensate for changes in load.
Both Current and Potential Transformers are used for relays according to the working of relay.
An 'instrument transformer' is a category of transformer used to supply measuring instruments or protective relays. There are two types of instrument transformer: a 'voltage transformer' (known as 'potential transformer' in North America), and a 'current transformer'. They are used with high-voltage systems, where it is hazardous to connect instruments directly to such systems.Voltage tranformers are used to reduce high-voltages down to a level that can be safely applied to voltmeters, or to the voltage-coils of wattmeters or energy meters, or to protective relays, while electrically-isolating those instruments (and personnel) from the high-voltage supply.Current tranformersare used to reduce high-voltage currents down to a level that can be safely applied to ammeters, or to the current-coils of wattmeters or energy meters, or to protective relays, while electrically-isolating those instrument (and personnel) from the high-voltage supply.
A 'current transformer' is a type of transformer which, together with a 'voltage transformer' (or 'potential transformer' in N America), is classified as being an 'instrument transformer'. It is used to reduce large currents to smaller currents which can be measured safely, and to isolate the primary circuit from the secondary circuit for the purposes of safety. Current transformers are also used to drive protective relays used in high-voltage protection systems.
relays are two type 1. Electromagnetic attraction relays. 2. Electromagnetic induction relays.
Depending on the size of the transformer, it can be protected by fuses, thermal elements, or by a full relay protection package, which could include overcurrent relays, differential relays, and distance relays.
A transformer does many things.
1. Transformer 2. DC/ AC Motors 3. Solenoid valves 4. Contactors/ Relays 5. Amplifiers
Earthing of a transformer is done to 1:reduce the sensitivity of protective relays. 2:reduce the damage due to fault current. 3:get rid of great loss of equipment and money in case of any earth fault.
3 relays
Generator Transformer back-charging is done because of the following reasons:- 1. To ensure the healthiness of Generator transformer after performing all the transformer related tests before synchronising with the grid. 2. To ensure all the protections of transformer before putting it into actual operation. 3. To check the polarity, ratio & connections of transformer. 4. To check all the PTs & CTs in circuit & their availability to the relays for protection & metering. 5. To check Voltage level & polarity at LAPT. 6. To perform change-over operation checks of UATs & the tie breakers with main breakers. Since all the protection system related to relays acts in the same way for forward & reverse power, we check the availabilty of each equipment before final synchronisation with the grid.
Your question is incomplete -- what about the transformer?
