Best Answer

The single phase transformer works on the principle of mutual induction.

Explanation:

When an alternating voltage V1 is applied to a primary winding, an an alternating current I1 flows in it producing an alternating flux in the core.

As per Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, an emf e1 is induced in the primary winding.

Where N1 is the number of the turns in the primary winding's induced emf in the primary winding is nearly equal and opposite to the applied voltage V1

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 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.
