What is the difference between power transformer and instrument 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).
How are transformers used every day?
For the electricity at your home and where you work. Electricity goes through several step down transformers between the power plant and your home. The electrical lines on the street in front of homes carry voltages of several thousand volts. The transformer on the pole in front of most homes in the U.S. step the voltage down to a total of 240 volts between three wires, two "hots" and a "neutral". The voltage between the two hots is 240 volts, usually for large appliances.The voltage between one hot and the neutral is 120 Volts used for everything else. There are also transformers in most electronic devices such as T.V.s and computers. These transformers are made to step the voltage down from 120 volts to whatever the operation voltage of the device is. A cell phone charger has both a transformer and a rectifier. The transformer first steps the voltage down from 120 volts to a much lower voltage. Most cell phones now charge at 5 volts so they can be compatible with USB ports on computers, which uses 5 volts. The rectifier (and a filter circuit) then convert the 5 volts AC to 5 volts DC to charge the phone. Another interesting fact: DC voltage cannot pass through a transformer.
How far away should a power plug be from another power plug?
The distance between electrical outlets in a home will depend on what country of origin you're from and also what type of power supply service you have. In the United States and Canada, that run on a 60 hertz power supply service, the general rule of thumb is spacing of about 12 feet between each outlet along the walls of your home. The distance between outlets around your kitchen counters is much shorter. About 4 feet of space is required between each plug.
How does electricity go from the power plant to your home?
The power plant generates electric power that is connected to a grid network of wires usually on overhead pylons that connect up all the generators in that grid system. Many countries have one grid connecting up the whole country. The good thing about the grid is that all the generators contribute power and all the users draw power out, and if one generator has a fault and drops out the users should not notice it.
How do you calculate power use for a home power generator?
Click the link. There you can figure the size generator you need.
How is current brought into your home?
Through wires, cables, and transformers, all the way from the generating station to the outlet in the wall of your house.
What are some important types of transformers?
There are a few main types you should know: Power Transformers — for sending power over long distances. Distribution Transformers — the ones that bring power to your home or shop. Isolation Transformers — protect sensitive equipment. Auto Transformers — used when you need small voltage changes. CTs and PTs — measure and protect in factories. Big names like ABB and GE make them all. If you’re not sure which one fits your need, Jindal Electric & Machinery Corporation can help you choose the right one.

Should we have a nuclear power station in everyone's home?
No. A nuclear power station is a massive undertaking, and is cost effective only on the large scale.
What is meant by Earth in electricals and electronics?
The flow of current can be explain with an analogy to the flow of water through a pipeline when we turn the water- tap, water from water-tank flows through the pipe and flows out to ground.Like this when we applied a potential difference current flows through our instruments and ultimately to ground. In the case of a cell its negative terminal act as ground, but in the case of AC power supply system earth act as ground.We get power from Power station, but not directly, there are several transformers in between power station and the destination. These transformers are ground to earth so that the flow of electricity is complete. In our home there are several ground points, this act as a bypass for excess current when it entered to our domestic power supply system (Keep it in mind that in this case also the current ultimate goes to earth)
What are the metal pots on posts along side the roads Electric Transformers?
They are transformers. Transformers are necessary to reduce the high voltage on the lines that run along the road to a smaller voltage that can be used at a home. The power companies generate much higher voltages than those found in your home so that they can be transmitted along much greater distances.
When electricity can enter your home from a power station what decreases the voltage to a safe level?
The transformer outside your home reduces the voltage from several thousand volts to around 220-240 volts in your home. In some countries (US and Canada among others) this will be split to 110-120 volts.
How does electricity flow from a power station to power station?
Electricity is generated at a power station through turbines driven by various energy sources. The electricity is then sent through high-voltage power lines to substations, where the voltage is reduced for distribution to homes and businesses. Transformers help regulate the voltage as the electricity flows along power lines to the end users.
What are the types of transformer?
There are a variety of types of transformers. These include autotransformers, polyphase transformers, leakage transformer, resonant transformers, as well as audio transformers.the decepticons are the bad guys, and the autobots are the good guys. bumblebee and optimis prime are autobots. megatron is a decepticon.
How electricity energy is transferred to home and industry?
your electricity supply at home reaches you through the Nation Grid.This is a network of cables connecting power stations to homes and other buildings. The network also contains trasformers. Step-up transformers are used at power stations and Step-down transformers are used at sub-stations rear homes.
Why do large communities use power station?
Not only large communities but small communities as well all have power stations or using the trade vernacular, sub stations. They can be a large as one acre in area or as small as three transformers on a platform between two power poles.The duty of the sub station is to start reducing the voltage from the very high transmission voltage to a more manageable lower voltage. It has to be kept in mind that as the voltage is lowered the size of the equipment to handle the lower voltage becomes lighter because the insulation factor is lowered.When the voltage leaves the substation, the utility company lines are used to transmit the lowered voltage around the community. When the voltage reaches your home it is reduced once again by the transformer on the poles along the street or in underground primary systems by the pad mount transformers that line the street close to the homes property line.
What is now housed in Battersea Power Station?
Battersea Power Station has been redeveloped into a mixed-use development that includes offices, shops, restaurants, housing, and event spaces. It is also home to the Apple UK headquarters.
