A 'power transformer' is a category of transformer used within electricity transmission and primary distribution systems. Relays are widely used with power Transformers to provide various types of protection that will act to disconnect the transformer in the event of a fault. Examples of these relays include Buchholz relays, earth-fault relays, and differential relays. Relays are also used to operate a power transformer's automatic tap-changing mechanism in order to compensate for changes in load.

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.


Why buchholz relay is used in transformer have ratings more than 750kva?

Buchholz Relay is a special type of relay and its only used in transformers, and the main use of this relay is transmission and distribution systemAnswerA Buchholz relay is used between a transformer and its expansion tank. So they are only used (1) where there is an expansion tank and, (2) in substations, where the associated protection relays can be installed.
