Where should power factor correction capacitors be added - to the primary or secondary side of a drive isolation transformer?

The primary. Many drives do not allow you to connect PF caps directly at the drive. It messes with DC the power supply.

If a Transformer primary and secondary are equal?
You will have a 1:1 ratio isolation transformer.
What is the difference between an isolation transformer and distribution 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.)
What are the voaltg in isolation transformer?
The function of an isolation transformer is to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, without changing the voltage levels. So, its secondary voltage will be the same as the primary voltage.
Is possible to put 3 phase transformer primary as secondary and secondary as primary?
A: The only way can be possible if the transformer is an isolation type. Yes, you can put the input into the secondary side. This will create a step-up transformer.
An isolation transformer has 500 turns on the primary winding how many turns are on the secondary?
An isolation transformer is intended to isolate the ground path in the primary from the secondary while maintaining the same voltage on the secondary. This means a turns ratio of 1 to 1. If there are 500 turns on the primary, then there will be 500 turns on the secondary.
What happen if the number of loops in the primary and secondary coils in a transformer are the same?
If the number of turns in the primary is the same as the secondary, this would be an isolation transformer. Primary and secondary voltages should match (minus the inherent transformer losses), as should the current.
What is the application of transformers having both primary and secondary voltage same?
When the primary and secondary voltages are the same the transformer is being used for isolation. The secondary side will have galvanic isolation from the primary side. The purpose of the is to protect secondary load if a fault occurs on the primary side. The impedance of the transformer will limit the fault current on the secondary which should save equipment.
What r the primary to secondary turns ratio in the isolation transformer?
a: 1:1 ratio its only purpose is to isolate
Difference between step up and step down transformers?
Actually an isolation transformer may be physically the same as a Step up/Step Down transformer. The main difference is in the way they are used. Another difference is that in a normal transformer there will be capacitance between the 2 windings, between the windings and core, between the core and shell, etc. These capacitances bring in high frequency noise from outside, which will be transmitted in the secondary circuit. So [in an isolation transformer] wires are connected between each component, (not direct contact, but with insulation present). This permits a leakage current and eliminates unnecessary capacitance. I could make a start to answer this question. Isolation transformer: is a transformer with two separate windings, the primary and the secondary. There is an electrical isolation between the primary and the secondary. Nearly any type of transformer with two non-connected windings could be considered an "isolation" transformer, in that it electrically isolates the primary voltage from the secondary voltage. There are also transformers with one winding (called auto-transformers) and connections for input and output. If the input is low voltage and the output a higher, then you can say it is a STEP-UP transformer. If the input is high and the output is low, then you can say it is a STEP-DOWN. This type of transformer can not by used where safety is a large factor.
what is ultra isolation transformer?
We are leading manufacturer of Ultra Isolation transformers in India . Ultra isolation is used to protect against electric shock to suppress electrical noise, insensitivity with special insulation between primary and secondary, and is specified to withstand a high voltage between windings. We have complete range of Ultra isolation Transformer in our Company .
How many turns in secondary coil in Transformer?
It depends on the type of transformer.If it is a step up transformer the number of turns in secondary side is higher than primary.Stepdown means it will have fewer number of windings on the secondary side turns when compared with the primary side.An isolation transformer has the same number of windings on the primary as the secondary.The ratio of the windings is proportional to the increase or decrease in the secondary voltage. For example, twice the windings doubles the voltage and 1/2 the windings halves the secondary voltage. The isolation transformer is denoted as 1:1 and has the same voltage on the secondary as the primary.The ratio of secondary turns to primary turns is the same as the ratio of secondary voltage to primary voltage.e.g. if the secondary to primary turns ratio is 1/10, then the secondary voltage will be one tenth of the primary voltage.
How To Test An 230vac -230vac Isolation Transformer?
Make sure there is no voltage measured between line of secondary and neutral of primary. I.e. neutral of primary and secondary are not connected by any means.
