A 15000 KW transformer will power a small city! One KW is one thousand watts, so 15000 KW is 15,000,000 watts. The average 2500 ft2 house in the US uses somewhere between 24000 and 48000 watts maximum (thats a 100A or 200A service). Did you perhaps mean 15000 watts? That would correspond to a 60A service, which is pretty small. If you have gas appliances (stove, furnace, water heater, clothes dryer) and no big electrical appliances, such as an air conditioner, then maybe a 60A service would do. Most jurisdictions require a minimum 100A service these days except in unusual situations, such as mobile homes and such. A house that size should have a 200A 42 circuit panel. This relates to a 50Kva transformer
No. In an amplifier, Power Out > Power in. In a transformer Power Out ~= Power In (minus internal losses). An AC generator is more like an amplifier than a transformer.
Transformer Inductance?
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
No! A transformer changes voltage levels, not power levels. In fact, the output power of a transformer is actually a little lower than its input power, due to the efficiency of a transformer.
An arrow is used in a flowchart because it links one part to another. For example, a flow chart describing the process of electric energy: [Power plant] ---> [Transformer] ---> [Power lines] ---> [Transformer] ---> [House] ---> [Transformer] ---> [Device] As you can see, the arrows show the direction of where the flow chart is leading, telling the viewer where to begin, and where the to.
The power in a 15 MVA (15000 KVA) transformer depends on the power factor. You did not specify the power factor, so I will assume a power factor of 0.92. Simply multiply MVA by PF and you get 13.8 MW.
Adams Power Plant Transformer House was created in 1895.
Transformer coils are normally used to step down power from high power lines to a power you can actually use in your house. This works through the ratio of windings on a coil to the windings on the output side.
The transformer steps down the voltage from 600kilo volts which is what is at the power pole/lines to multiple strands of 120v or hot wires which is what your house runs off of.
I would talk to your electronic company to see what is being powered by your house. They can explain to you while your neighbor's power went out, but yours did not.
ideal transformer is that which has no power losses.if any transformer transfer power to secondary without power loss then that call a ideal transformer
No. In an amplifier, Power Out > Power in. In a transformer Power Out ~= Power In (minus internal losses). An AC generator is more like an amplifier than a transformer.
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
The basic difference is the secondary voltages. On a distribution transformer the secondary voltage is very high. This is to overcome line loss for transmission of electricity over long distances. A three phase power transformer is used at the consumers three phase services end to manipulate voltages that consumers need to operate their equipment. The transformer that feeds your house is considered to be a single phase power transformer.
You cannot 'change' the 'rated power' of a transformer except by changing the transformer for another one. You can, though, operate the transformer below its rated power or, for short periods of time, operate the transformer aboveits rated power.

If it's a lightning storm, Your laptop is powered by an inline transformer as part of the power cord so, in theory,if lightning hits your house it will destroy the transformer first before hitting your laptop.At the very least, in theory, if you lose power in any storm, a power surge from the power being turned back on hits your transformer and destroys it first and not get as far as the laptop.Either way you can't be hurt from a storm just by using your laptop if your NOT connected to the power cord if your in your house or building.
