Is dry type transformer air conditioned?

To my knowledge no transformer is air conditioned. Some transformers have fans mounted on them, however, for uprating purposes. I don't believe this is an effective cooling mechanism for dry type transformers either (fans are usually used on oil filled transformers).


Why do you still use both ac and DC?

Because some appliances work with ac current and some with dc current.


What is the total power when several electrical appliances are connected in series?

In a normal household configuration, the appliances are connected in parallel. This allows each of them to draw the amount of current they were designed to operate on. Unless you wired your own extension cord, you cannot connect them in series. Theoretically speaking (I hope you keep this theoretical), the loads in series increases the resistance of the circuit, which decreases the current through the circuit. None of the appliances would work properly. The more you connected, the less functional they become. There may be some other safety issues with their design compromised, but the appliances would not function properly and it is not possible to answer the question without some information about the appliances and power specs for each. Then it can be translated into a mathematical question.


Is there need of transformer oil in all transformers?

No not really only some do :DAnswerFor transformers used in transmission and distribution systems, yes. Transformer oil is necessary for cooling and insulation purposes, enabling the 'footprint' of an oil-filled transformer to be smaller, and its rating to be higher, compared with those not filled with oil.

Why do some appliances need to use a transformer?

Appliances that use printed circuit boards for their control will need to use transformers to get the voltage down to their operating voltages. These types of boards operate on 5 to 24 volts. This transformer is usually Incorporated on the PC board and its primary voltage is that of the supply voltage of the country that you reside.


What safety devices are in transformer?

Some small control transformers have a built in primary fuse. Larger transformers are primary fused externally and pole transformers are primary fused externally with the fuse holders mounted on cross arms near the transformer.

Can you legally remove built-in appliances from your foreclosed home?

It is in your mortgge document. Usully fixtures stay, appliances can go. Be aware of the difference, if an appliance is build into the kitchen it is a fixture, if it is just plugged in its an appliance. Read your mortgage document, some states allow or it is common that some appliances are considered part of the house. If you take fixtures the lender can ask for restitution.


Why some appliances producemoreheatthan others?

This depends specifically on the appliance and the way it is designed. For instance dryers, dishwashers, etc. are designed to produce heat and the heat given off is not necessarily a sign of energy loss or inefficiency. Also, appliances like refrigerators are not only designed to cool the inside, but also to take the warm air out of the food compartment, this is why you bottom vent on a fridge will often produce a warm breeze. The heat produced by appliances differed on design and efficiently its built. Remember! heat is only another form of energy and electrical energy turns into heat in objects like transformers, which are in appliances, and when this happens its energy loss. Appliances labeled as Energy Star are designed to eliminate energy loss and maximize efficiency which is also why Energy Star appliances may run cooler then typical appliances.


Cheats for transformers?

How are step-up and step-down transformers used in the transmission of electric current from the electric company to homes?

(This is what my teacher said, I wrote this down in my notes) The answer is, Step-up transformers are used to increase the voltage of an electric current before it is sent out over transmission lines from the electric company. Step-down transformers are used to reduce the voltage of current from high-voltage transmission lines before it enters homes and businesses. Some devices, such as televisions, contain step-up transformers that increase the voltage once again.

Where single phase transformer is used?

Single phase transformers typically are used to step voltage down to homes, and inside homes. Some examples of small single phase transformers are small electronic (such as phones) power cords.
