Moisture causes problems in Transformers, and is not desired. Pulling a vacuum causes the moister in the oil impregnated paper and nonmetallic supports to evaporate, and as the vacuum is held, this moister can be removed.

Why primaries of transformer are connected in parallel in sumpner's test?

In Sumpner's test, the primary windings of transformers are connected in parallel to allow for the simultaneous testing of two transformers under the same voltage conditions. This configuration enables the measurement of copper losses and the evaluation of the transformers' performance without the need for a full-load test. By connecting them in parallel, the test can simulate real operating conditions while ensuring that both transformers share the same input voltage and current characteristics.


Is wattmeter reading under no load test is equal to iron loss of the transformer?

Yes; that is the principle used in no-load tests on transformers. The current in the copper windings is zero on the secondary and low on the primary, so the copper loss is negligible.


What are the advantages of automatic load sharing of transformers?

Why open circuit test is done on hv?

The open circuit test on high voltage (HV) equipment, such as transformers, is performed to determine the no-load characteristics and losses of the equipment. During this test, the primary winding is energized while the secondary winding is left open, allowing for the measurement of parameters like no-load current, no-load losses, and voltage regulation. This information helps to assess the efficiency and performance of the transformer under normal operating conditions. Additionally, it provides insights into the core material and design quality.


Can a Auto transformer have more load losses than its no load losses?

Power transformers have both no load and full load losses. The key is copper wiring, as copper varies with the square inches of the secondary and primary currents.

What do you mean by test?

Its a test conducted on two identical 1- phase Transformers to determine the efficiency at different loads (without actually connecting any load).

What is paralleling of transaformers?

Paralleling transformers will increase the effective capacity available to the load. There are important requirements before transformers can be paralleled, so it's simply not the case of connecting any two transformers in parallel.


How does load sharing in transformers happen?

For parallel operation of let's say two transformers, following limiting conditions must be met. 1- The turn ratios must be same. 2- The percentage impedance must match. 3- The X/R ratios must be same. The load sharing is done according to the kVA ratings and %Z of the transformers. The formula is as under: load taken by TF1 = ((kVA1/%Z1)/((kVA1/%Z1)+(kVA2/%Z2)))*total load Similarly, load taken by TF2 = ((kVA2/%Z2)/((kVA1/%Z1)+(kVA2/%Z2)))*total load An example will make the concept easier. For example we have to parallel a 1000kVA TF of 5%Z with another of 1200kVA having 5.5%Z to supplay a load of 800kVA. load taken by TF1= ((1000/5)/((1000/5)+(1200/5.5)))*800= 382.6kVA load taken by TF2= ((1200/5.5)/((1000/5)+(1200/5.5)))*800= 417.4kVA


What is the minimum load have to go for a new transformer?

All transformers have a power rating given in kVA which determine the maximum load that can be connected to that transformer.

Is transfomer output voltage designed to full load?

Transformers are designed to run at specific voltage levels, and they are designed to handle a maximum load (known as "full load"); this load is usually based on the amount of current that can be pushed through the transformer without overheating, so if 1/2 voltage is applied, full load would be 1/2 of normal. Some "complicated" transformers may have other limitations (dual voltage transformers may have two different full loads specified, and they may not be directly proportional relative to voltage).
