The predominate liquid used inside a filament transformer is Mercury. Mercury is used to keep the transformer cool when under heavy use. Mercury is a cheap and long lasting liquid.

What are the specifications of the tin hing u2812-093-045e transformer used in rca rp5430 radio clock?

9v and 4.25v, measured from a working transformer inside the clock radio.


How do you improve the ir value of the transformer?

Moisture entered inside the transformer coil may cause loss of IR value. IR value can be increased by removing the moisture. Keep the transformer in a hot air chamber for sufficient time to vaporize the moisture.


What are the causes for decomposition of transformer oil and how is this detected?

A major cause of decomposition of transformer oil is minor arcing within the transformer. Decomposition results in gas which bubbles towards the top of the transformer and upward into the conservatory tank. Between the transformer and conservator tank is a Buchholz relay, in which this gas collects, causing a mercury switch inside a float to initiate an alarm in the substation. This gas can be collected through a small pipe feeding from the Buchholz relay in order to have it analysed.


Can you use ordinary transformer in place of auto transformer?

yes we can place auto transformer in place of original transformer


If you use a UK 240v to 110v yellow transformer and plug in to us 230v 60hz what happens?

It depends on the device itself. If it is an ordinary light bulb or the filament type, it may glow very lightly and it will convert electricity to heat rather than light. If your device is an electrical motor, it will draw more current than normal and will probably burn out.

What is filament transformer?

In vacuum tube devices, one electrode of the tube (the filament) needs low voltage at relatively high current, while another one (the plate) needs a high voltage at relatively low current. It's hard to build a single power supply to provide both of these, so the filament is usually supplied from its own separate transformer. Nobody has worried about things like this since a short time after transistors came along.


Is a liquid immersed transformer the same as oil immersed transformer?

Liquid immersed transformers are typically immersed in what?


What is the filament inside a light bulb?

The filament inside a light bulb is typically made of tungsten. When electricity passes through the filament, it heats up and produces light through incandescence.


What temperature does a filament inside a light bulb reach?

The filament inside a light bulb can reach temperatures as high as 2,500 degrees Celsius (4,532 degrees Fahrenheit) when illuminated, due to the resistance of the filament to the flow of electrical current.


What thin wire inside a light bulb is a?

Its a coiled tungsten filament.


How does the filament inside a light bulb produce light when electricity passes through it?

When electricity passes through the filament inside a light bulb, it heats up the filament to a very high temperature. This causes the filament to glow and emit light, a process known as incandescence.


What is transformer tank?

The container the transformer core and windings are placed inside is the tank.


What is the wire inside a light bulb called?

The wire inside a light bulb is called a filament. It is typically made of tungsten and emits light when an electric current passes through it, heating it up to produce light.


Why the electric bulb does not works if oxidation takes place inside it?

Because the filament will burn, and the filament is the part that produces the light.


How many circuits are inside a transformer?
