Transformer tanks are fitted with a 'breather' vent, which allows air to be drawn in, or expelled, as the oil level varies. A silica gel cell is located in the the vent's tubing to ensure that any air drawn into the transformer is dry.

Can a a electric substation in a city use transformers to increase the power output?

No! A transformer changes voltage levels, not power levels. In fact, the output power of a transformer is actually a little lower than its input power, due to the efficiency of a transformer.


Difference between power and furnace transformer?

Power transformer is used step up or down the voltage for the electricity transmission while furnace transformer is used to melt the metals and ores in the electric furnace.


Is a transformer a source of constant electric current?

A; Terminology is not correct a transformer is not really a source but rather a device to transform one source of power to some power that can be used as required minus efficiency of power transfer

What we use of automatic Electric transformer use in power transmission?

"Electric" transformers are used in the electric power system for many things. I wonder if you mean "auto" transformer. Transformers are used to step up/down voltage and currents, to provide a ground reference, to inject signals onto power lines, to sample high voltages and currents, etc.

Can an electric transformer send too much electricity to the meter causing a high electric bill?

An electric transformer does not send electricity to the meter it supplies a source of power that is requested by the demand of the load. The meter is a device which totals the amount of power that you use. This is the amount that you are billed for. If your electrical bill is high only you can reduce it by decreasing the load demand.


What is a function of a Buchholz relay?

A Buchholz relay is designed to detect a failing oil-filled power transformer. It will automatically disconnect the transformer and produce an alarm signal.

How do you find the maximum amp draw on a step up transformer?

It depends on the load. A good transformer has over 90% (some as high as 99%) efficiency. So the power drawn by it is a function of the power in the load, plus a small amount due to losses in the transformer.
