What is the main different between the power transformer and voltage transformer?
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
What is the usage of transformer?
The usage of transformer is to produce electricity from a main electric unit
What is meant by maganetization current?
It is the one which is used to produce flux in transformer and main field flux in motor or generator. Flux is proportional to the current passed through the coil. Flux is inversely proportional to the reluctance of the medium that the flux passes through. Flux is analogous to current. Reluctance is analogous to resistance. MMF is analogous to voltage. so if there is a coil carrying 5A current and 10 turns it produces 5*10 = 50 Ampere Turns MMF . so as the current increases MMF increases. If reluctance of the medium used is high there will be more flux. Let us take a transformer in that in order to produce EMF in the secondary we have to give flux from the primary for that we need a current in the primary that is called Magnetizing current . Any way if we load the transformer , the transformer primary carries (N2 / N1 ) * I2 current in addition to magnetizing current. Apart from these two currents there will be another current which is responsible for core loss in the transformer. Please note that all these three currents are at different phase angles i.e. they are not in same phase. Medium for the flux in the transformer is core. If it is a iron core reluctance is more , to produce same EMF it will take more magnetizing current. If we use CRGO steel as core reluctance is less. For less magnetizing current itself we get flux for the required EMF in secondary.
What is meaning ring main unit RMU and application?
A ring-main unit is a piece of switchgear used on high-voltage distribution ring-main systems (e.g. in the UK at 11 kV). Essentially, it's three switches incorporated into one device used to connect a transformer to a high-voltage ring main. It allows the transformer to be connected/disconnected to the ring main and it also allows the ring main to be 'broken'. Each of the switches has three positions: open, closed, or earthed (grounded); the earth position allows the transformer or either (or both) halves of the ring main to be earthed when maintenance is required.
What is one of most common uses of transformer?
Both Current and Potential Transformer are instrument Transformers which are used to measure very high current and voltage respectivly. Current Transformer is a Step up transformer and used to measure high current, its secondry is connected to ammeter of very small capacity (usally 5 A) but its Scale is calibrated according to actul values. Potential Transformer is a step down tansformer and its secondry is connected to voltmeter of small range but again the scale is calibrated for actul values. So as a whole both Current and Potential Transformers are used to measure high values of Current and Voltage respectivly.

What is the main different between the power transformer and voltage transformer?
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
What is the purpose of main switches?
The main breaker limits the overall current to the building. Most buildings have many branch circuits that sum to more current than the service is rated for. This is not a problem as all the branch circuits are not used under high current draws at the same time. The main breaker protects the main wiring in the meter and to the transformer, and the transformer itself, from heavy current loads. It also protects from shorts in the main distribution panel.
What is the main switchboard number for ABC Insurance?
Switchboard is a website that operates similarly to the YellowPages or WhitePages telephone directory books. The number listed first depends on which town is inputted into Switchboard's business locator tool, so there is no true 'main' number.
What types of current transformer?
Current transformer are used for measuring current in a bus bar without disconnecting it by means of ammeter.There are three types 1.bar type current transformer 2.toroidal current transformer 3.wound type current transformer
What is the main source of energy loss in a transformer?
Heat. On less well designed (or incorrectly used) transformers you can get current leakage too.
How does current transformer works in a substation?
A current transformer works on the same principle as that of a simple transformer however it steps down the high current into a low level so that it can be measured using an ammeter of a suitable range. In some current transformers extra cores are provided. This is done in order to prevent the faulty currents i.e. the over currents, earth faults, differential protections. The extra cores of a C.T. gets saturated as soon as the faulty currents starts flowing and thereby does not harm the main core of the transformer and the ammeter connected. The C.T. is always connected in the line carrying current. It first steps down the current to a measureable form and further gives this current to the ammeter.
