Frequently Ask Questions

1. What are the components used in transformers?

Transformers consist of several key components, including the core (made of laminated sheets of electrical steel), windings (copper or aluminum wire), insulating oil (for cooling and insulation), bushings (for electrical connection), tap changer (for adjusting voltage), and tank (housing for oil and internal components).

2. What material is used for transformers?

The primary materials used in transformers include copper or aluminum for the windings (due to their conductivity), silicon steel for the core (for magnetic flux), insulating oil (for cooling and electrical insulation), and steel or aluminum for the tank (for housing and protecting internal parts).

3. What are the elements used in transformers?

Transformers mainly use copper or aluminum for conductors, silicon (iron) for the core, oil (mineral or synthetic) for insulation and cooling, and steel for the tank. Additional elements include silica gel in breathers and rubber or plastic in bushings and seals.

4. What are the 10 parts of a transformer?

The 10 key parts of a transformer include:

1. Core (magnetic path)

2. Windings (primary and secondary coils)

3. Insulating oil (for cooling and electrical insulation)

4. Tank (housing for the transformer)

5. Bushing (for electrical connections)

6. Tap changer (for voltage adjustment)

7. Breather (to remove moisture from the air)

8. Radiators (for heat dissipation)

9. Oil filter (to purify insulating oil)

10. Buchholz relay (for detecting faults in oil-filled transformers)

5. What are 4 types of transformers?

The four main types of transformers are:

1. Power Transformer (used in high voltage transmission)

2. Distribution Transformer (used to step down voltage for residential or commercial use)

3. Instrument Transformer (used for measurement purposes, like CT and PT)

4. Autotransformer (a type of transformer with a single winding for both primary and secondary circuits)

6. Why is Buchholz Relay used?

The Buchholz Relay is used in oil-filled transformers to detect faults like gas accumulation, overheating, or oil movement. It provides early warning of transformer faults such as internal short circuits or insulation failure, helping prevent severe damage to the transformer.
