Star type transformer

Asked By: paul burey | Asked On: Sep 9th, 2010

Why are we employing star type transformer at transmission end and delta type transformer at receiving end?

Answered by: UMESH KUSHWAHA on: May 23rd, 2012

its not necessary to use only Delta type T/F at receiving end, we can also used star type but in this case at same voltage level two star neutral point create due to which Harmonic create for avoiding this we prefer opposite combination at sending end and receiving end.

Answered by: vishal badlas on: May 19th, 2012

bcoz at the transmission side especially for secondary distribution we need neutral wire for getting single phase supply and star type is only one which provide neutral. at receiving side to step up voltage we need delta type connection.

Use of DC machine

Asked By: Abhijit_atrangi | Asked On: Sep 3rd, 2009

We have enough category of AC machines more relliable than DC machine then why we are using DC machines in some application yet?

Answered by: rajakumar1985 on: Sep 7th, 2009

Each AC and DC machine having its own characteristics.According to the reguirement, the motors will be selected. Also the availability of supply is taken into consideration. But normally AC is preffered than DC due to its low maintenance and relaiability.

Answered by: shravan.rawal on: Sep 4th, 2009

Take an eg. of DC series motor, it's properties are suitable for Railway engine, at the start it has high torque and low speed and once the core gets saturated it's torque is low but the speed is higher, so for this kind of special requirement we require DC M/C

Wattmeter circuit

Asked By: aditya saxena | Asked On: Aug 19th, 2009

Why pressure coil is named so in wattmeter circuit?

Answered by: Harish P. Girhe on: Jan 4th, 2011

Current & voltage both requires for utilisation. Current depents on device for its energirising. Each individual device reqiures currents for its own working. But voltage is applied across device term...

Answered by: prabhat.gaurav on: Dec 8th, 2009

As pressure in pneumatic sysytem is analogaus to voltage that's why the coil connected to supply voltage in wattmeter is called pressure coil.
 

Oc/sc test on low voltage side

Asked By: lavanyaa | Asked On: Aug 8th, 2009

Why oc test is carried out on low voltage side of transformer?

Answered by: mahmoudp1 on: May 3rd, 2012

The previous answers are right + to make an accurate measurement O.C test on LV side because the current is high on the low voltage so when we repeat the experiment we will get more results with the ...

Answered by: Pratyush Singh on: Jul 26th, 2011

Because during OC test, rated voltage is applied, hence the HV side is unsuitable to keep instruments, hence it is the HV side that is opened and the LV side is where instruments are placed (at their rated values)

Transformer sound

Asked By: lavanyaa | Asked On: Aug 8th, 2009

Why do you get a typical sound when the transformer is put into operation?

Answered by: nikhilsharma2009 on: Sep 15th, 2009

Transformer noise is caused by the phenomenon magnetostriction. When a piece of any magnetic sheet is placed in the magnetic field it gets magnetised and elongate. But when the magnetic field is remov...

Answered by: shravan.rawal on: Sep 2nd, 2009

Because of the airgaps between stampings of the core.

Rated voltage and frequencey

Asked By: lavanyaa | Asked On: Aug 8th, 2009

Why oc test is carried out at rated voltage and frequency?

Answered by: shravan.rawal on: Sep 2nd, 2009

To find out the losses under normal operating condition.

Answered by: rajakumar1985 on: Aug 10th, 2009

Normally the OC test is done to find out the losses. The losses depends on the voltage and frequency applied to the machine. So that while testing, the rated voltage and frequency are applied to the machine.
