It is a type of transformer that you usually see hanging from a utility pole that feeds your house. It transforms the high transmission voltage down to the usable voltage that is used in the home.

How much to put up power pole and run power to a trailer in Florida?
around $500 a pole and $2 a foot about $1000 for the pole mounted transformer poles need to be less than 100' apart
Can you use ordinary transformer in place of auto transformer?
yes we can place auto transformer in place of original transformer
What is a transformer that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
What is the difference between isolation transformer and ferromagnetic transformer?
An isolation transformer is usually a ferromagnetic transformer. The question needs to be framed more usefully.
Why auto transformer is lighter than conventional type?
because the copper is saved in the auto transformer that is the ratio of weights of copper in auto transformer to normal transformer is (1-(1/a)) where a is transformer ratio
How do you hang a pole transformer from a pole?
In simple you don't. They are screwed in place. It would be too dangerous to hang it.
What is the name of the transformer that reduces the voltage?
a step down transformer is used to lower the voltage from the powerlines into your home. a common slang term for this type of transformer is a pole pig.
What can you do as preventative maintenance for a power pole transformer so that the mineral oil does not boil?
Lower the rating of the primary fuse feeding the transformer.
How much voltage comes from the pole to the house?
240 volts from the secondary side of the transformer to your house
Why the transformer is kept at a height from the ground?
If you are referring to a pole-mounted distribution transformer, it's in order to maintain a safe clearance between its high-voltage connections and ground level.
How much to put up power pole and run power to a trailer in Florida?
around $500 a pole and $2 a foot about $1000 for the pole mounted transformer poles need to be less than 100' apart
What is the best example of a piece of machinery or equipment containing an electrical energy source?
pole-mounted electrical transformer
What does a transformer between utility wires and your house do?
The transformer steps down the voltage from 600kilo volts which is what is at the power pole/lines to multiple strands of 120v or hot wires which is what your house runs off of.
What is the difference between an isolation transformer and distribution transformer?
in isolation transformer earthing is not provide on secondary side but in ordinary transformer neutral of secondary side is earthedAnswerAn isolation transformer is a 1:1 ratio transformer; its function is to electrically isolate the secondary side from the primary side without changing the voltage. An example of an isolation transformer is the one used in a shaver socket.A distribution transformer is a step-down transformer, used within the electricity network's distribution system. An example of distribution transformer is a pole-mounted transformer, supplying low voltage to residences.(Of course, all mutual transformers provide electrical isolation between primary and secondary.)
What is the ratings for a pole fuse?
There are two types of pole-mounted fuse. One type is a high-voltage fuse, intended to protect the transformer. The other type is a low-voltage fuse, intended to protect the cable or line supplied by the secondary winding of that transformer. The current ratings of these fuses depend entirely on the current ratings of the devices they are there to protect.
What safety devices are in transformer?
Some small control transformers have a built in primary fuse. Larger transformers are primary fused externally and pole transformers are primary fused externally with the fuse holders mounted on cross arms near the transformer.
How can I get 230 volt single pole wire from my house panel?
In North America you can not obtain 230 volts from just one single pole breaker. The distribution is like this, from a one pole breaker to neutral is 120 volts. From an adjacent breaker to neutral is 120 volts. From the adjacent breaker to adjacent breaker (breakers situated beside each other) the voltage will be 230 volts.If you want to incorporate a 120 to 230 volt transformer into the circuit you can obtain 230 volts. The primary side of the transformer will be connected to the 120 volt circuit and the secondary side of the transformer will output 230 volts. The transformer must be sized to the load amperage or the load wattage of the connected 230 volt load.
