Current Transformers Manufacturers?

Macroplast Transformers is a leading Current Transformers Manufacturers in India. Current transformers are devices that transform higher current value to lower current value. Current transformers provide galvanic isolation from the voltage on the primary winding while simultaneously creating a power signal that has been converted to a standard level, which in turn permits the use of standard measurement instruments and relays.

How do you check Leakage current in Transformers?

see http://ezinearticles.com/?Testing-a-Transformer--How-To-Accurately-Test-A-Transformer&id=56803 Normally to test a CT we go on with two tests 1. the primary injection test 2. the polarity test 1. primary injection test: a particular amount of current is made to flow through the primary and the amount of current we get from secondary is measured. 2. the name itself describes the test...


Why induced emf in transformers lag excitation current?

All magnetic materials require some energy before they will operate. You can think of it as the price of admission. In an electrical transformer, the excite current is actually a composite of the energy which is lost due to eddy currents in the magnetic material as well as hysteresis losses of the material. Excite current is both frequency and voltage dependent. Instead of saying, "before my husband will do anything I have to bake him a cake", you could say"before my transformer runs at 115Vinput, I have to supply x milliAmps of excite current just to get the core going." A special class of transformers known as CT's or Current Transformer's works in much the same way, except their voltage is reflected off the load instead of coming directly in through the primary. This energy is dissipated as heat. In power transformers, the concern is energy lost with no load connected on the output. In current transformers, the concern is the varying loss of accuracy due to the highly non-linear nature of excite current, especially at low excite levels.


Does the battery method have any limitations on testing the transformers polarity?

yes its does the higher the current will blow out the transformers


How does the power transformers works?

Power transformers convert an alternating electric current into magnetism in the primary circuit. This magnetic flux flows around the core in the form of a fluctuating magnetic field. This flux is transformed back into an electric current in the secondary circuit . The primary circuit consists of a coil of wire, having a known number of turns, wound around a laminated soft iron core. The secondary circuit is also wound around the magnetic core but is electrically isolated from the primary.The linkage between coils is purely magnetic. The number of coils on the secondary dictates whether the transformer steps up the voltage on the primary,or steps it down. It is a simple correlation of turns.ie 100 coils on primary,50 on secondary halves the voltage and doubles the available current on the secondary. They are the most efficient electrical machines ever invented.

What is magnetic balance test of transformer?

The Magnetic Balance test is conducted on Transformers to identify inter turn faults and magnetic imbalance.


Are Transformers used in circuits with Direct Current?

No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.


What is the meaning of magnetic balance test?

Magnetic balance test is performed on transformer to check, whether the core and windings of the transformer is balance position or not. Magnetic Balance is a test of Critical use as it helps us to enhance the efficiency and life of transformers.


What devices are based on the magnetic effect of current?

Devices such as electric motors, transformers, inductors, and magnetic-based sensors utilize the magnetic effect of current. These devices rely on the interaction between electric current and magnetic fields to operate effectively in various applications.


What is eddy current loss in transformers?

Eddy current loss in Transformers is because of the eddy currents formed in the body of the magnetic core.Whenever a conductor(iron core) exposed to a changing magnetic field a magnetc field produced in the body of the magnetic core.That induce a circulating current in it.Which is called eddy current.In the case transformer it is loss.But it is useful in other purposes.


Will alternating current produce a magnetic field?

Yes, alternating current will produce a magnetic field due to the changing electric field it generates as it flows through a conductor. This magnetic field is essential for the operation of devices such as transformers and electric motors.


What are precommissioning tests of transformers?

magnetising current test, magnetising balance test, s.c test, vector group test, winding resistance test, ratio test


What are the functions of current transformers and the difference between current transformers and voltage transformers?

To sense the current flow across the current transformers and to monitor the current ratings. In current transformers no voltage variations occurs. but in voltage transformers it is mainly used to increase or decrease the voltage value.


What is type of current that transformers require to operate?

As a transformer requires an alternating magnetic flux within its core, then the current flowing in its primary winding must be alternating.


What can induce an electrical current in a wire?

An electrical current can be induced in a wire by a changing magnetic field passing through the conductor. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction, and it is the basis for the operation of generators and transformers. Moving the wire through a magnetic field or changing the magnetic field around the wire can result in the generation of an electrical current.


Does ac current produce magnetic field?

Yes; any current produces a magnetic field, an AC current will produce an alternating magnetic field. If the current (and therefore the magnetic field) changes quickly, you may not be able to detect it with a compass needle, for example.


Who discovered a magnetic field can produce an electric current?

Michael Faraday discovered that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current in a wire, which is known as electromagnetic induction. This discovery laid the foundation for the development of electric generators and transformers.
