In Power Transformer in higher rating to minimise the Stray losses (losses caused by leakage flux linking with structural part- tank - yoke plates) Tank shunts shunt the leakage flux and contains it within. shunts are made of CRNGO.

What does the power rating of a transformer imply?

Knowing the power rating of a transformer will help an operator use the transformer within its design limitations with regard to heating of the windings and their insulation.


Can a a electric substation in a city use transformers to increase the power output?

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.


Are shunt reactors used in nuclear reactors?

Answer 1. The only shunt reactors I know are used on transmission lines to alter power factor. This is nothing to do with the nuclear reactor in a power plant.Answer 2. I agree. Shunt reactors are use on transmission line and EHV to boost voltage, to generate VARs and for power factor correction.


How do you use distribution transformer as temporary power supply to residential housing?

A distribution transformer IS the term used to describe the utility transformer which supplies a residence.


What does filter do in a transformer?

A transformer does not use a filter. You may be asking about the use of a filter in a power supply. A power supply uses a filter to change pulsating DC from the rectifier into smooth DC for the circuits that the power supply powers.


Can a teaser transformer can be use as 3 phase power supply?

yes


Can you use transformer in place of amplifier?

A transformer is a passive device while an amplifier is an active device. a transformer can amplify voltage but never power WHILE AN AMPLIFIER CAN amplify power's can you use it sure withing the limitation of the transformer and only to amplify volts.


Can you use a 270 watt in a 300 watt transformer?

If you mean how to use a resistance of so much power then it can be easily done through a step-down transformer which lowers the voltage supply and hence the power.


What is meant by the term ideal transformer?

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


State three reasons for the widespread use of transformer?

The three main reasons for the widespread use of transformer are power outage, more power supply and sustainability among consumers. This is what has made the transformers to be much appreciated.


Is transformer an amplifier?

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.


What do transformer coil have to do with the way the transformer control voltage in alternating current?

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.
