Best Answer

They're usually spec'd for 55 or 65 degrees C average temperature rise (so 55 or 65 C above ambient temp), but the hot spot can get significantly hotter, and is limited by the insulation class of the transformer. Class B is 130C, class S is 240C, so there's a big difference between insulation. Temperature is dependent upon loading of the transformer, and what cooling systems are engaged.

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.


How do you carry short circuit test on power transformer?

For carrying Short Circuit Test on Power Transformer Do the following: 1] Isolate the Power Transformer from service. 2] Remove HV/LV Jumps and Disconnect Neutral from Earth/Ground. 3] Short LV Phases by Cu/Al plate which could withstand short circuit current and connect these short circuited terminals to Neutral 4] Energise HV side by LV supply (440 3ph Supply) with OLTC tap position on Normal. 5] Measure Current in Neutral, LV line voltages, HV Volatage and HV Line Currents on various OLTC Tap position. Analysis: If Neutral current is near to zero transformer windings are OK If Neutral current is higher or equal to Line current between LV Phase one of the winding is Open.

What is the purpose of a high voltage transformer?

if the transformer is distributing transformer then we shoud have to give more prefer to the high volatage to reduce losses if we distibute power at low volage there is more current which causes more losses and in hv system there is high volage and low is current so the losses are also low
