The footprint of a transformer foundation depends on the size and weight of the transformer, as well as the specific design requirements to support and securely hold the transformer in place. Typically, the foundation will be sized to provide adequate support and stability for the transformer, as well as to distribute the weight evenly across the ground to prevent sinking or shifting.

What are the advantages of 3-phase transformer over 3 single-phase banks of transformers?

The main advantage is that the 'footprint' of a three-phase transformer is smaller than a transformer bank, and all connections are prewired which makes them easier and quicker to install and replace.


What the transformer oil transformer provides?

Significantly-better cooling and insulation than air. This means that the transformer can operate at higher power ratings than an equivalent air-cooled transformer, and its internal electrical components can be much closer together, giving an oil transformer a much smaller footprint so it takes up far less space in a substation.


Why is foundation needed for electric transformer?

They weigh a heck of a lot. Without a foundation, they would sink into the ground and end up being useless.


Why is it the oil transformer commonly install outdoor?

Most outdoor power and distribution transformers are oil filled. There are two reasons for this: (1) to cool the transformer and, (2) insulate the windings and other components, allowing the overall physical size of the transformer to be reduced and, therefore, provide a smaller 'footprint'.


Is there need of transformer oil in all transformers?

No not really only some do :DAnswerFor transformers used in transmission and distribution systems, yes. Transformer oil is necessary for cooling and insulation purposes, enabling the 'footprint' of an oil-filled transformer to be smaller, and its rating to be higher, compared with those not filled with oil.


Why required oil inside the transformer?

To cool and to insulate the transformer. Transformer oil has a higher specific heat capacity than air, so it is more efficient at removing energy through heat transfer, and limiting the windiings' temperature rise. Transformer oil has a much greater dielectric strength than air, which means that components at different potentials can be placed closer together, so the overall volume of the transformer can be made smaller, giving it a smaller 'footprint'.


How do you calculate a building footprint?

To calculate a building footprint, you typically measure the length and width of the building's base or foundation. You then multiply these measurements to get the area of the building in square feet or square meters. This calculation provides an estimate of the ground area covered by the building.


What do you mean by machine foundation?

The foundation of machines is a civil work.Civil engineer design the civil work to be construct according to the machine being installed on that foundation.For example in a Grid station we have to construct a foundation for Power Transformer so that mechanical forces may be suppressed by this.
