Why do transformers blow up and cause power outages?

TOO MUCH VOLTAGE, INCLIMATE WEATHER (Snow, heavy Rain, ice etc) down powerlines and trees...something touches it. DO NOT TOUCH TRANSFORMER THOUGH!


Is there going to be a 4th transformers movie?

Michael Bay told the press at the Asia junket/press conference for Transformers that they would make a Transformers 3, 4, 5 if the reaction (ie box office) is good enough. So it looks like Transformers fanboys will just have to see the movie 8 or 9 times to guarantee a sequel.


Who are the autobots who died in transformers the transformers the movie?

Jazz was the only one who died in the first movie cause Jazz was mocking Megatron so Megatron ripped him in two and according to the autobot's medic, he was unable to be saved Optimus called him a fallen hero. Everything in bold letters is by Arthinker (including this) Everything else by the first person.


Is there a transformers 5?

Currently there is only a Transformers 1 and 2, but there are going to be 4 in all. There will be no Transformers 5, but we can tell you the names of # 3. Transformers 3: Attack of the Zines. There is no name for Transformers 4 yet. Transformers 3 will be released October 23, 2012. We are sorry for the wait, but our director quit. Jacob Gorden, 20th Century Productions.


Who is the transformer unicorn?

Battle Unicorn is a Maximal from the Beast Machines toy line who transforms into a unicorn. Meanwhile Magna Stampede is another unicorn transformer who is an Autobot from the Universe toy line. If you're actually referring to Unicron that's a hole different story. Unicron is the embodiment of evil in Transformers fiction he transforms into a planet that devours other planets and like to cause chaos and trouble for his twin brother Primus and Primus's creations, the Transformers.

Why are transformers used for transmission of electricity into your home?

The voltage provided by power company are higher what your home uses so transformers step down the voltage for your house. Higher voltages in your home would cause a potential safety hazard. The higher voltages on transmission lines are used to cope with voltage drops over long distances.


Why TRIACS blow?

You exceed the power dissipation capability of the device and it burns up. Too much voltage across the terminals , too much current being passed through it, reverse voltage spikes can all cause the triac to "blow".


Why is the transformer turns ratio test needed?

Turns ratio test is very important in order to find out that the transformer has the right ratio corresponding on its rated voltage in primary and secondary. For example, three phase transformer is subjected to turns ratio test when each phase has equal turns ratio then the transformer is balance.The test is performed to ensure that overheating or overcurrent conditions have not shorted turns in the transformer windings, which would distort the desired output or input voltage. This test is particularly important for instrument transformers, i.e. CTs and PTs which are connected to protective relays. These relays are extremely sensitive, and operate on very small fluctuations in secondary voltage or current. Shorted turns in these transformers can lead to big problems if they cause the relay to operate abnormally, or not at all.

What is percent Z pertaining to electrical transformers?

% voltage drop on full load from the secondary to the primary due to leakage reactance and the resistance of the windings.Answer'Percentage impedance' is a confusing term. It describes the value of primary voltage that will cause the rated secondary current to flow in the short-circuited secondary winding, expressed as a percentage of the rated primary voltage.

What could cause home electronics to smoke and quit working?

Connecting to the wrong voltage, voltage spikes, installation of the wrong size fuse, overheating due to blocked ventilation or just straight component failure are some reasons for equipment to stop working. The smoke suggest that there was a short circuit from an overload.


What cause the battery to boil on Dodge van 250 1988 new alternator as been put in and also the external voltage regulator?

Borrow, rent or buy a volt meter and test the battery voltage with the engine running. Have someone take the rpms up to about 1500 and test the battery voltage. If it's very much above 14 VDC, you have a faulty regulator. Ideal voltage is 13.5 but if it's anywhere near 17 or more it will destroy the battery. On the other hand, if one or more of the cells are shorted out, normal voltage will cause the remaining battery cells to boil.


Why might the unloaded output voltage of a transformer be higher than its rms of 12.6v?

Because the windings of transformers have resistance, the primary and secondary currents will cause voltage drops. To compensate for the drops, the transformer may have been designed to have a higher than specified output voltage when there is little or no output current. The no load output voltage typically is only slightly greater than the specified voltage. Before measuring the output voltage, measure the input (line) voltage. If it is not as specified for the transformer, calculate its effect on the output.
