Why skin effect not act on the transformer?
Skin effect is a physical effect that operates on thick conductors. In a transformer the conductors are usually too thin for any substantial skin effect to occur.
Can you use a transformer to compensate the voltage drop in a branch circuit?
If the voltage drop is excessive, it is a sign that the circuit conductors may be undersized. Better to install larger conductors. If you try to use a transformer, under light loads the voltage will rise to unacceptable levels, possibly damaging equipment.
What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?
Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.
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 transformer is used?
A transformer used to step up or down the value of voltage.
What is a service lateral conductor?
service lateral conductors are the underground conductors between the utility electric supply system and the service point, basically the cables that bring power from the transformer to the power meter in an underground service
What type of elements are used as conductors?
Metals and alloys are used as conductors: copper, aluminium, silver.
What is the transformer used in ups?
simple step up transformer
Oil filled transformer is usually used indoor or outdoor?
An oil filled transformer is usually used outdoors and a dry core transformer is usually used indoors.
In what types of products are conductors used?
Conductors are used in every electrical product and device that is manufactured. Without the conductors there would be no path for the electricity to travel.
What is the difference between power transformer and instrument transformer?
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
What is the difference between control transformer and Potential transformer?
Control transformer used only for control supply 110,220, 24,12V AC. But Potential transformer used voltage measurement purpose.
