On a stup down transformer what does the xo symbol mean?

On a step down transformer XO symbol denotes the secondary split phase grounding point. This is also where the neutral of the three wire secondary is connected. The transformer connection is known as a single phase - three wire - with one secondary winding.


What is principle of Current transformer?

why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current transformer ?


How do you size wire for a step down transformer?

You size it by the current required by the secondary, and the primary will be smaller wire.


What materials are needed to construct a step up transformer?

Basic materials to build a transformer are magnet wire, iron core and insulation material to separate the two windings.


Does a 3 phase motor starter with a 120 volt coil need a neutral to the coil?

Usually for this type of installation there is a control transformer installed in the starter enclosure. The primary of the transformer is the motors line voltage and the secondary is the control voltage which is usually 120 volts. In Canada the control transformer needs fusing on the secondary side of the transformer. In the US the transformer needs fusing on the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. The secondary side of the transformer's terminals are labeled X1 and X2. The X2 lead is grounded to the starter's enclosure. From this point out the wire is then termed the circuit's neutral wire. This wire then connects to one side of the magnetic starters draw in coil. Yes, 120 volt coil would require a neutral, this could be derived from the control transformer if it has one or from an external source.

How do you Ground a 3 wire service?

If you do not have a underground metal water pipe coming into the building then you put a ground rod at least 2 feet from the buildingf into the ground attach one end of the wire to ground rod run your ground wire and attach the other end to the neautral bar in the panel box. You need special transformer called as grounding transformer for this purpose. Grounding transformer is basically Wye-Delta type transformer with Wye connected winding connected to 3 line wires and derived neutral from Wye side grounded through desired grounding device. Delta side winding of grounding transformer is kept at no load.


Why you use delta star transformer instead of star star transformer in a consumer plant?

Generally speaking high-voltage three-phase systems are three-wire systems comprising three line conductors, so the high-voltage primary of the transformer is delta-connected (a delta connection has only three terminals, to which the three line conductors are connected). European low-voltage three-phase systems are four-wire systems, comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor. To obtain this, the transformer's secondary must be star (wye) connected, with its earthed star point providing the neutral.

why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current transformer ?


Why does transformer draws current when secondary is kept open?

A: If the transformer is connected to a power input of course it will draw current. The primary is a long wire it has own resistance wrap around an iron core. Of course there will be primary current whether there is a load on the secondary or not.


What is the center of an electromagnet called when it is surrounded by coils of wire?

In a transformer it is known as the transformer core.


How many wires are input in a berry-type transformer?

1 wire is input in this type of transformer.


You can use neutral to autotransformer?

Yes, but the transformer must have both the hot and neutral to work as designed. A auto-transformer is not a variable resistor that could reduce current/voltage by a change in the resistance which could be used in the hot and or neutral wire. An auto-transformer is designed to have the hot wire and neutral on each end of the winding with a variable tap in between. The resistance of the transformer and the inductance will effect the circuit to a limited way if placed in the neutral but this effect will not vary the voltage over the full range, the amount of voltage reduction will vary with the load's current draw, see ohms law. Neither a resistor or a auto-transformer connected in the neutral line only will increase the voltage above the level of the input like a correctly connected auto-transformer . Stanley


How are the amperes for transformer calculated?

Find the wire from the secondary of the transformer. If it's a step-down transformer the thicker wire is the secondary. Measure its diameter in inches and calculate its cross-section area in square inches. The current rating for transformer wire is 1000 amps per square inch, or 1.55 amps per square mm.


What do you usually mean by hot wire?

That depends on the context. In the case of a vehicle, if you "hot wire" the ignition it means that you have bypassed the keyswitch. In the case of the electric service to your home or business, the HOT wire is the one that carries the current. The ground wire is literally connected to a rod that is driven into the ground. The neutral wire (according to code it should be white) is connected to the center tap of the transformer and if everything is functioning properly there should be little or now voltage potential to ground. Leaving the BLACK (or red) wire to be the HOT wire.
