Radiators are used in a transformer to cool the transformer oil through natural air or forced air flowing in these radiator fins. As the transformer oil temperature goes down due to cooling it goes to the transformer tank from bottom ,cool the windings and gets heated, and then returns to the radiator for next cooling .This cycle repeats as the oil flow is also natural due difference in temperature of oil on bottom and top.

In big power Transformers this oil circulation is forced by oil pumps for effective cooling.

The radiator has many small fins and there are 4-10 radiator banks in a transformer depending on capacity and make of the transformer.

A distribution transformer IS the term used to describe the utility transformer which supplies a residence.


What is the function of transformer 33kv?

A '33-kV transformer' is a three-phase primary-distribution transformer, used in the UK's electricity system to step down the 33-kV primary-distribution voltage to the 11-kV secondary-distribution voltage -the lowest voltage used in the high-voltage distribution system. These transformers are categorised as 'power transformers', and are located in what are termed 'primary substations'.


Distribution transformer vs power transformer?

Power transformers are step-up or step-down transformers used in the electricity transmission system, whereas distribution transformers are step-down transformers used in the electricity distribution system.


What is the Use of distribution transformer?

A transmission transformer steps the voltage up to a very high value so electricity can travel long distances on transmission lines from the power plant to a city or area with low loss. A distribution transformer steps the high voltage back down to a level that can be used for local distribution and use by businesses and homes.


What is the difference between primary electrical distribution and secondary distribution?

Primary electrical distribution carries medium voltage power to distribution transformers near the customers. Secondary electrical distribution transfers the power from the transformer to the households.


What kind of transformer is used to change the voltage of electric current in transmission lines before it enters houses in a neighborhood?

It's called a 'distribution transformer', as opposed to a 'power transformer' which is used in the transmission and primary-distribution electrical systems.

Is there a basic difference between a three phase power transformer and a three phase distribution transformer?

The basic difference is the secondary voltages. On a distribution transformer the secondary voltage is very high. This is to overcome line loss for transmission of electricity over long distances. A three phase power transformer is used at the consumers three phase services end to manipulate voltages that consumers need to operate their equipment. The transformer that feeds your house is considered to be a single phase power transformer.
