FAQ

Q1: What are the fundamentals of 3-phase power?

Ans: Three-phase power is generated by rotating a magnetic field through three coils, each separated by 120 degrees. This creates a balanced voltage where each phase has equal voltage magnitudes. Phase B lags behind Phase A by 120 degrees, while Phase C leads Phase A by 120 degrees. This setup ensures efficient and consistent power delivery.

Q2: What is the basic of a 3-phase transformer?

Ans: A 3-phase transformer is designed to efficiently transfer electrical energy between three-phase systems. It consists of three windings, each corresponding to one phase, wound on a common core. These windings are separated by 120 degrees to match the phases of the power supply. The transformer can step up or step down voltage levels while maintaining phase balance and reducing power losses, making it essential for power distribution and industrial applications.

Q3: What is the kVA rating of a transformer?

Ans: The kVA (kilovolt-ampere) rating of a transformer indicates its capacity to handle electrical power. It represents the maximum amount of apparent power the transformer can deliver without exceeding its thermal limits. The kVA rating is a product of the voltage and current it can handle and helps determine the suitability of the transformer for specific applications in power distribution and industrial settings.

Q4: What are the three types of transformers?

Ans:  The three main types of transformers are step-up, step-down, and isolation transformers. Step-up transformers increase voltage for efficient power transmission over long distances. Step-down transformers reduce voltage for safe use in homes and businesses. Isolation transformers provide electrical isolation without significantly changing the voltage, ensuring safety and reducing noise in sensitive equipment.

Q5: What is a three-phase transformer and how does it operate?

Ans:  A three-phase transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy between circuits using magnetic flux. It induces an electromotive force (emf) in the secondary winding, allowing it to either increase (step up) or decrease (step down) voltage levels without changing the frequency. This transformer has three windings arranged 120 degrees apart, enabling efficient power transmission between the primary and secondary circuits.

Q6: What happens if one phase of a 3-phase transformer fails?

A: If one phase of a 3-phase transformer fails on the primary (delta) side, the delta winding will receive single-phase supply. One coil gets full voltage while the other two receive half voltage. This results in unequal single-phase voltages in the secondary, which is ineffective for powering three-phase loads.

Q7: How to test a 3-phase transformer?

A: To test a 3-phase transformer, use a megger to apply a constant DC voltage of 2500 to 5000 volts for 10 minutes. Test between HV and LV windings, LV windings to earth, and HV windings to earth. The transformer’s insulation system must pass this test to be considered in good condition.
