Best Answer

In simple terms, it’ll basically blow up and ruin the transformer. An easy rule of thumb if you're working with a dual voltage transformer and not sure of the line voltage is to set your transformer on 14.4 before heating up and check voltage. If you’re only getting half voltage on your hot legs, open up the circuit and switch it back to 7200 and heat it back up. It’s okay to send 7200 volts into a 14,400 transformer but not the other way around.

7200 volt 25kw transformer how many amps at 240 single phase?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


Where are center tapped transformers used?

The transformer that feeds your house is a center tapped transformer. Primary 7200, Secondary 240. The 240 volt secondary is center tapped to give you 120 volts on either side of the tap. Hence house voltage is 120 / 240 volts.


What is a tap changer?

A tap changer is a device on the outside of transformers to allow the changing of the primary windings to except different primary voltages. A common one is 7200 - 14400 volts. Look up at the transformers on the poles to your house and you will be able to see this handle with the voltages stamped on the case and the handle in one of the positions. This allows for the transformer to be used on two different primary voltages. What this cuts down on is storage of single primary voltage transformers.CommentTap changers are normally incorporated into the high-voltage, rather than the primary, winding of a transformer.

What is a tap changing transformer?

A transformer that has part of one winding partitioned in such a way that it can be removed or added to the winding. For example, you may have a transformer with 100 turns on the low side and 1000 turns on the high side. If it were a tap changing transformer on the high side winding, you may be able to add or subtract 100 turns, so the turns ratio can be anywhere from 9/1 to 10/1. <<>> This type of transformer is in common use in home distribution systems. On the side of the transformer there is a handle with the markings of 14,400/7200. By having this ability to work on two different primary voltages the utility only has to stock one transformer. The same transformer can be connected to the grid across phases at 14,400 or phase leg to ground at 7200 volts. The transformer ratios are so wound that the output voltage remains at 120/240.
