Silica gel crystals are used to dry any air drawn into the transformer.
A transformer is fitted with a 'breather' pipe, which allows the air within the transformer (or its conservator tank) to enter or leave, as the oil (coolant) level changes due to contraction or expansion. As the air inside the transformer tank (or conservator tank) must be kept dry, the breather pipe is fitted with a chamber containing silica gel crystals which dry any air drawn into the 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.)
in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
The secondary.
Compare a transformer to a balancing act. Both side need to remain equal.The primary side of the transformer is the supply side and the load is connected to the secondary side of the transformer.The load governs the current of the secondary side of the transformer and the voltage of the secondary side must match the voltage that the load required to operate.The ratio of the transformer will determine what the voltage of the secondary side is as compared to the voltage that has to be applied to the primary.The current of a step up transformer will be higher on the primary side that that of the secondary.Apply voltage and current to this concept and you will see that the transformer will remain balanced.The size of the transformer is always calculated from the secondary side of the transformer and the value is written in VA or KVA where V = voltage and A = amperage. Power factor is also taken into consideration when calculating the size of the transformer to be used.
Sounds like the wrong size fuse protection was used. The transformer should be protected to its kva capacity.
It's common to put arcing horns on the HV side of a power transformer to short out voltage spikes arriving from lightning strikes along the line.
yes........ we can short circuit the other side of the winding wen the primary is excited.... but we shouldn't apply rated voltage to the primary.. this method is used in the short circuit test of the transformer to find the parameters of the transformer.....
The core is responsible for the hysteresis losses in a transformer. These are the losses associated with the ease, or otherwise, by which the core is able to become magnetised in one direction, demagnetise and, then, remagnetise in the opposite direction. These days, the type of material used (variations on silicon steel) are about as efficient as possible.
cement?
There is no selective device to determine the amount of voltage. A transformer is selected by the voltage available at the site for the primary and the load on the secondary side of the transformer.
