What is the 2 losses in a transformer
Coppper and core
How are the coils in a transformer connected
Magnetically coupled ?
What are the to enemies of a transformer
Heat and over voltage
What is a transformer
Magnetically coupled ratio device that works off mural induction
What determines voltage drop in xfmr
Impedance
Impedance must be with In how much percent when banking
10%
Two basic types of arrestors
Valve type and expulsion
Coils of xfmr
Insulated wire wound around the core
The insulation depends on the voltage used
No electrical connection between the two coils works off mural induction
Bigger wire on secondary side more current less voltage
Smaller wire on primary side more voltage less current
2 xfmr taps uses
Correct primary voltage
Control voltage to the costumer
What coil is taps on
Primary side
How do taps work
Add or remove turns from primary side
Higher tap add turns to coil there for decreasing secondary voltage
Lower taps remove turns from coil and there for increase secondary voltage
Split taps
5 total taps 2 up 2 down 5% each way 2.5% each tap
Straight taps
Only taps one way
5 taps total
Start at 100%
4 usable taps 2.5% each tap
Purpose of case ground
Prevent xfmr from becoming energized and acts as neutral on single bushing xfmr
fuse size on wye hookup
Kva xfmr divided by primary voltage used
Fuse size on delta
Cutout with 2 bushings is kva divided primary voltage used multiplied by 1.73 single bushing cutout is kva divided by primary voltage used
How to find size of xfmr used when you have known 3 phase load
Take 3 phase load divide it by 57% and get size xfmr needed
Not used for single phase load
What must be done before working on capacitor?
Isolate wait 5min then shunt
What are the zero value of a sine wave
360 0 and 180
Max positive value of a sine wave
90
Max negative value of a sine wave
270
What are 4 things that affect resistance
Length
Size
Temp
Material
Low power factor due to lagging current you would add what ?
Add capicitors
Test gloves how often?
Every use
