Best Answer

The plate should as a minimum show the working voltage, volt-amp capability and the rpm of the generator. Other optional information is the manufacturer and serial number.

Why mentions the nameplat of transformer in vector group?

A transformer's 'nameplate' lists all the data necessary to identify the rating, connections, etc., of a transformer. Part of this data is the 'vector group' information which applies to three-phase transformers, and which, in simple terms, tells us whether or not the transformer can be connected in parallel with another.

Stepdown 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.


Is line voltage or phase voltage mentioned on transformer nameplate?

It depends how they are connected. If they are connected between line conductors then they are measuring line voltages. If they are connected across phases then they are measuring phase voltages.

How can you measure the power rating of a 1.5 kg step down transformer that converts 240 volts to 112 volts?

You cannot 'measure' the rated power (or, more accurately, 'apparent power') rating of a transformer. You can, though, calculate this value, which is the product of the rated secondary voltage and the rated secondary current, and is expressed in volt amperes.This information can be found on the transformer's nameplate data label.


How can a step down transformer which is transforming 450 volt in the last tap be changed to 415 volt?

The instruction for changing the taps on a transformer can be found on the transformers nameplate. These taps will be on the primary side of the transformer. Each tap position will state what the voltage will be on the output when the individual tap is selected.


What is a forklift nameplate?

A forklift nameplate provides information about a truck's capacity. Posting the capacity information helps to insure that the truck always operates within it's capabilities. The nameplate lists information on the maximum height, tilt, fuel rating, capacity, etc.


480 transformer to 120 ac current what is the kva on transfomer?

The kVA rating will be listed on the transformer's nameplate, which is usually on the front of the transformer. The 480v to 120v is irrelevant, because many transformers with different kVA ratings convert 480 volts to 120 volts. The kVA ratings can be different and thus affect the rated current through the transformer.


What are the ratings of electric geyser?

The rating should be in watts and this information will be on the nameplate of the equipment.

How to differentiate 110v or 220 transformers?

The way to identify any transformer is to look at the the transformers nameplate. The primary side will be designated H1 to H4. This is the primary side and the voltage will be stated as to the voltage to connect to. The secondary side will be designated X1 to X4. This is the secondary side and the voltage will be stated as to the voltage it will be transformer to.


What is the meaning of DY 11 on a transformer nameplate?

there is no specification of Dy11.. it will be Dyn11.. it is the vector group of the transformer. capital d means primary winding is delta secondary winding is star(y) and the secondary current lags voltage by 30degree this angle when shown in clock will be looking like 11 o clock


Transformer name plate?

Answer: Transformer name plate shows the rating of the transformer...viz., operating frequency, rated current n voltage, output power in KVA, type of insulation used, tranformation turns ratio... Additional Info: in addition to that, you would also find the percent impedance, size of the tank, tap configuration, and vector group. Here is photo of a typical power transformer nameplate: http://www.jcmiras.net/jcm2/p20.htm
