In case of auto-transformers, which of the following statements are correct? An auto-transformer requires less copper as compared to a conventional, 2-winding transformer of the same capacity. An auto-transformer has less leakage reactance as compared to the conventional, 2-winding transformer of the same capacity. What are the two power transferRead More →
When the transformer is on the loaded condition, the secondary of the transformer is connected to load. The load can be resistive, inductive or capacitive. The current I2 flows through the secondary winding of the transformer. What is the load side of a transformer? The load side is where theRead More →
A transformer is an electrical apparatus designed to convert alternating current from one voltage to another. It can be designed to “step up” or “step down” voltages and works on the magnetic induction principle. What is the purpose of transformers in a building? Transformer Types & Characteristics. Transformers in commercialRead More →
Transformers are capable of either increasing or decreasing the voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency, or the amount of electrical power being transferred from one winding to another via the magnetic circuit. Does a step up transformer increase amperage? Although the voltage increases in aRead More →
