Maximum loading of a transformer is tied to the maximum temperature the transformer can handle. To uprate a transformer, modifications to the cooling system must be made - for an ONAN (oil natural, air natural) rated transformer, you can add fans (changes to AF or air forced), and you can add oil pumps (OF or oil forced). There can be multiple levels in each as well, with some or all fans / pumps kicking on.

If this is a transformer in a computer power supply or similar small circuit design, you need to get a bigger transformer (bigger wires, larger windings = better heat dissappation = higher load capability).

Not sure if you mean whilst it is running, or to make a permanent upgrade to the output. Whilst the plant is running, assuming at part load, you simply open the turbine steam governor valve(s) slightly to admit more steam. The steam generator whether a nuclear reactor or a fossil fired furnace, must follow the increased demand. The whole process may be automated, or may require further operator action. To upgrade the plant would depend on its capability, most plants run at or near their max design output, but there may be some reserve which was designed in but not used originally. In the case of nuclear, it would involve a full safety assessment and a change to the licensed operating conditions, in the US this means NRC involvement but all countries have a nuclear licensing authority.

The load can increase when the turbine runs faster and decrease when the turbine run slower.

Why velocity of flow will decrease with increase in peripheral speed of francis turbine?

the peripheral velocity of the turbine is the around velocity. the increase in the velocity of the peripheral will decrease the velocity of the flow towards the turbine


Why secondary terminal voltage decreases with increase in load?

An increase in load (equivalent to a decrease in resistance*) causes an increase in load current. This increases the internal voltage drop within the transformer, and the terminal voltage reduces accordingly.[*An increase in load means more current is being drawn by that load, so an increase in load is equivalent to a decrease in load resistance]


How inefficiencies of compressor and turbine affect back work ratio and efficiency of gas turbine?

Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.

Why Fuel consumption varying when the generator load varies?

with decrease in fuel consumption the amount of steam produced is also reduced.Hence when lower quantity of steam passes through the turbine the torque generated is less and since generator and turbine are coupled on a single shaft the generator torque also decrease which reduces load.


Why does the terminal voltage increase in leading load?

What is purpose to spray in exhaust hood of steam turbine?

The purpose of exhaust hood spray is to decrease the temperature of steam turbine last stage that is probably LP. This is operate on low load specially at start up and shut down of steam turbine when the temperature at the outer most edge of the turbine blades of that stage is very high and As we know that the steam flow also decrease The temperature of turbine blade.


What happens to the rotor speed and rotor current when the mechanical load on an induction motor increase?

whenever the load increases,the current drawn by the motor to do or to fulfill the required energy to the load. so the current will increase generally.Increase in load will cause the full utilization of motor,so speed of rotor will decrease.
