What is Transformer in Hindi?

Transformer in Hindi is called "ट्रांसफ़ॉर्मर" (pronounced as "transformer"). It is a device used to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.


When would you use current transformer?

A 'current transformer' (CT) is classified as an instrument transformer, which means it is used to provide a small secondary current that is in proportion to its large primary current, for purposes of metering or protection. At the same time, it electrically-isolates the secondary (metering) circuits from the primary circuits (which are often high-voltage circuits) for the purpose of safety.


Can pipelines containing gases or flammable liquid or conduits containing electrical circuits be used as a ground return?

yes


What is current trandformers?

I believe you meant transformer. If so it is a transformer used in high voltage circuits to reduce the current to a safer measurable value. It can be used as a direct input to a metering or protective relay to covert high currents to a lower value. It is used in AC circuits and typically encircles the conductor(s) it is monitoring, then works by using the expanding/ collapsing field which is the theory of induction used in transformer operation. It is the primary side of a "transformer" which only works when there is current flowing through it.


What difference's between potential transformer and voltage transformer?

Both are same. This is an instrument transformer used for metering & protections.


Why the capacitive voltage transformer and voltage transformer both are used in a substation?

three phases


How does a isolating transformer work?

Isolation transformers are used to isolate one circuit from another. Highly sensitive circuits may require isolation from high power circuits, for example.


What is the purpose of a small step down transformer in electrical circuits?

A small step-down transformer in electrical circuits is used to reduce the voltage from a higher level to a lower level. This helps to safely power devices that require lower voltage levels, protecting them from potential damage.


What is the difference between transformer and reactor?

A transformer is composed of two coils and wrapped around a core while a reactor is made up of one coil of wire. A transformer is used to increase or decrease the amount of current while a reactor is used to isolate circuits from a noisy background.


What type of transformers are used to step down a voltage for general use and what type of systems are they classified as?

The transformer you describe is being used as a step-down transformer, and is classified as an electrical machine. The transformer could either be a mutual transformer, consisting of two, electrically-isolated coils, or an auto-transformer which uses a common coil between its primary and secondary circuits.


How is electricity distributed to lights and power sockets?

It depends where you live.In most countries, radial circuits are used for both power and lighting circuit.In the UK, ring-main circuits are used for power circuits, while radial circuits are used for lighting circuits.


Why silicon gel used in transformer?

Silicone gel is used in transformers as a cooling and insulating material. It helps to dissipate heat generated during operation and provide better insulation to prevent short circuits. Additionally, silicone gel is non-toxic, non-flammable, and has good resistance to moisture, making it a reliable choice for transformer applications.
