Depending on the size of the transformer, it can be protected by fuses, thermal elements, or by a full relay protection package, which could include overcurrent relays, differential relays, and distance relays.

Application of instrument transformer in power system?

Instrument transformers are used in power systems for measurement and protection purposes. Current transformers (CTs) are used to step down high currents to a measurable level for instruments and relays, while potential transformers (PTs) are used to step down high voltages. By providing accurate and isolated measurements of current and voltage, instrument transformers ensure the safety and reliability of the power system operations.


What is a transformer and its functions?

Voltage transformer or potential Transformers are used in conjunction with Current transformers for metering and protection purpose in HT and LT power system.


What are the advantages of power transformers over voltage transformers?

Power transformers can be used for power transformation. Voltage transformers are not suitable for high power applications.

Distribution transformer vs power transformer?

Power transformers are step-up or step-down transformers used in the electricity transmission system, whereas distribution transformers are step-down transformers used in the electricity distribution system.


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.


What is tie transformer?

It is a step down transformer which is used to supply the electrical power to the station transformers and the colony transformers


Why auto transformers are not used directly on dc circuits?

Transformers are not used on DC circuits because they rely on a varying magnetic field to transform power.

What are the Relays in transformer?

There are many types of protection relays used in transformers depend upon its construction, size, use etc. They are 1. Buchholz relay for incipient faults like short ciruit, winding temparature protection, oil temparature protection, oil level protection, oil pressure protection, Pressure relief valve (for oil filled transformers) 2. Differential protection 3. Thermal Protection 4. Earth fault protection 5. Over current protection 6. Over excitation protection(where OLTC is used) etc


Why transformer is used before conected any semiconductor device?

because it is necessary to provide an over load protection ,surge protection,etc....hence an transformer is used...( particularly isolated transformers)


What are the applications of autotransformer?

Power transformers may be step-up or step-down. Distribution transformers are step-down. Isolation transformers are 1:1 ration transformers. Matching transformers are used in electronic circuits for impedence matching purposes. Instrument transformers are used to measure high-voltage voltages and currents or to operate protective systems.
