It is to decrease the amt of insullation materials used. It can be used only for star connection.
Answer'Graded insulation' is all about controlling the shape of the electric field within the insulator to prevent breakdown due to local peaks in potential difference across that insulation.
Power transformers can be used for power transformation. Voltage transformers are not suitable for high power applications.
'Potential transformers' (US terminology) or 'voltage transformers' (UK terminology) are, together with 'current transformers', collectively called 'instrument transformers', and are used to safely measure/monitor voltages and currents in high-voltage systems.Potential transformers are used to reduce the voltage-level of a high-voltage circuit to a lower voltage which can then be read using an ordinary voltmeter; at the same time, it electrically-isolates the high-voltage system for the purpose of safety. Potential transformers, together with current transformers, can also be used to operate wattmeters, or to supply protective relays.
A megger is an instrument that generates a high voltage. That high voltage is then used for measuring insulation resistance, especially that of electrical devices.
Transformers are used to change the voltage in a circuit from high to low or from low to high. Some of the gadgets that use transformers include surround sound systems, the CPU power supply and speakers which have inbuilt amplifiers.
To answer this correctly, we must first ask what is "High Voltage". This can vary quite a bit in electrical engineering. If you are working on a circuit board, then "High Voltage" might be above 50 volts. These would be transformers used in circuit board power supplies. If you are working in Industrial Environment, then you might consider "High Voltage" to be 230 Volts and above. If you are working on power distribution in a facility, then it might be above 15,000 volts. If you are dealing with power transmission withing towns, or between cities, then it might be several hundred thousand volts.Now, to the answer. If you read the above correctly, you will find the answer for each level.AnswerThe electrical regulations in your country will define what is meant by 'high voltage'; for example, in the UK, 'high voltage' is clearly defined as being 'voltages exceeding 600 V a.c.' So a high-voltage transformer is one whose either winding is rated above 600 V.So, high-voltage transformers are either 'power transformers' (transformers used in the electricity transmission system) or 'distribution transformers' (transformers used in the electricity distribution system).Power tranformers may be 'step-up' or 'step-down', and are essential components in the electricity system, which can only work at very high voltages (in the UK, 400 or 275 kV). Distribution transformers are 'step-down' transformers -in the UK, for example, 11 kV is stepped down to 400/230 V for distribution to residences or commercial premises.
Transformers are used to convert electricity from high voltage to low voltage and from low voltage to high voltage.
To provide optimal insulation to high voltage equipments.
Power transformers can be used for power transformation. Voltage transformers are not suitable for high power applications.
Hi-pot and megger tests are common to check the insulation on transformers, motors, refrigeration compressors, etc. They help check the condition of equipment to avoid a future falure. High votage test are conducted in current transformers by shorting the seconday and earth,can apply 3 times the rated voltage
It depends what you mean by a 'high rating'!If you mean a high 'voltage rating' then, yes, you will require thicker insulation. But if you mean a high 'power rating', then, not necessarily, because the voltage can be low, while the current is high.Remember, the thickness of insulation depends on the voltage, while the type of insulation (how it withstands higher temperatures) depends on the current.
The voltage is reduced, in Transformers.

its because of transformers . they work with pulse
High voltage cables with this high an insulation factor are usually given a Hi Pot (High Potential) test and not meggered. The potential has to be higher that the working voltage of the cable to be effective when checking for insulation or connector breakdown.
Rated insulation voltage is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the insulation of an electrical device without causing a breakdown or failure. It is a measure of the insulation's ability to withstand high voltage without impacting its performance or safety. The rated insulation voltage is typically specified by the manufacturer and is an important parameter to consider when designing or selecting electrical equipment.
The term, 'instrument transformer', is applied to current transformers and voltage transformers (known, in North America, as 'potential Transformers'). The primary windings of instrument transformers are connected to high-voltage systems, and their secondary windings provide outputs to measuring instruments or protective relays. They also provide isolation from the high-voltage system for the purpose of safety.
