Best Answer

a transformer or inductor or capacitor does not change frequency

frequency is controlled at the generating station with the speed of the motor or turbine

the number of phases will not make a difference

an inductor or capacitor can shift phase up to 90 degrees

you can make 3 phase power from single phase power with inductors capacitors and Transformers

In transformer there is no rotating part.so frequency constant.

because the frequency is speed/wavelength which is proportional to the refractive index when light is entering an object or leaving an object

The frequency is determined by the power supply and the transformer has nothing in it which could change the frequency.

What is the current of 1MVA transformer?

This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.


How you differentiate between single phase and three phase transformer?

A single-phase transformer works with a single-phase supply, while a 3-phase transformer is used with a 3-phase supply. A single-phase transformer has 2 wires on the primary and secondary (ignoring taps) while a 3-phase tansformer has 3 or 4 wires on the primary and secondary.


How do you design a transformer with three phase 400v input and single phase 2000v output?

By design are you going to wind the transformer yourself? In your design you need a 5:1 ratio. On the output side of the transformer any two legs of a three phase transformer is considered single phase voltage. Good luck on your project.


Would you install three-phase transformer or bank of three single phase transformer in a large power station and justify by comparing the two schemes?

A three-phase transformer bank is often used in power stations because it is easier to construct and transport very large single-phase transformers, compared with constructing and transforming an equivalent-capacity three-phase transformer.


Can 3 single phase transformers can replace 1 three phase transformer?

Yes, you can use three single phase transformers on three phase applications and interconnect them to serve as a single transformer or you could use one single phase transformer fed from two of the three lines in a step down application.

A sound that's produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and with no overstones is called?

A sound that's produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and with no overtones is called pure sound. This means that regardless of other characteristic properties such as amplitude or phase, the wave consists of a single frequency.

Why the need of harmonics in single phase transformer?

Harmonics are really not needed in single phase transformers.


What is this system called with three single phase transformer?

Your question is rather vague. If you are asking what do you call a group of single-phase transformers, connected to supply three phase, then the answer is a 'three-phase transformer bank'.

How can you step down a 15kv transformer single phase to 220v?

A transformer steps the voltage of an electrical power supply up or down. The transformer must be correctly designed for the voltage and current levels that it is intended for. Only ac can be used with a transformer, which is designed to work at a particular frequency.
