Step-Up and Step-Down Transformer
• This type of transformer is categorized on the basis of a number of turns in the
primary and secondary windings and the induced emf.
• Step-up transformer transforms a low voltage, high current AC into a high voltage,
low current AC system In this type of transformer the number of turns in the
secondary winding is greater than the number of turns in the primary winding. If
(V2 > V1) the voltage is raised on the output side and is known as Step-up
transformer
• Step down transformer converts a high primary voltage associated with the low
current into a low voltage, high current. With this type of transformer, the number
of turns in the primary winding is greater than the number of turns in the
secondary winding. If (V2 < V1) the voltage level is lowered on the output side and
is known as Step down transformer
Power Transformer
• If the power transformer is connected in the transmission network, the load fluctuation will be very less
as they are not connected at the consumer end directly, but if connected to the distribution network
there will be fluctuations in the load.
• The transformer is loaded for 24 hours at the transmission station, thus, the core and copper loss will
occur for the whole day. The power transformer is cost-effective when the power is generated at low
voltage levels. If the level of voltage is raised, then the current of the power transformer is reduced,
resulting in I2R losses and the voltage regulation is also increased.
• The power transformers are used in the transmission networks of higher
voltages. The ratings of the power transformer are as follows 400 KV, 200 KV,
110 KV, 66 KV, 33 KV. They are mainly rated above 200 MVA. Mainly installed
at the generating stations and transmission substations. They are designed for
maximum efficiency of 100%. They are larger in size as compared to the
distribution transformer.
• At a very high voltage, the power cannot be distributed to the consumer
directly, so the power is stepped down to the desired level with the help of
step-down power transformer. The transformer is not loaded fully hence the
core loss takes place for the whole day, but the copper loss is based on the
load cycle of the distribution network.
Power Transformer
Distribution Transformer
• This type of transformer has lower ratings like 11 KV, 6.6 KV, 3.3 KV,
440 V and 230 V. They are rated less than 200 MVA and used in the
distribution network to provide voltage transformation in the power
system by stepping down the voltage level where the electrical energy
is distributed and utilized at the consumer end.
• The various types of the distribution transformer are categorized on
the following basis and are shown in the figure below:
• The distribution transformer less than 33 KV is used in industries and
440, 220 V is used for the domestic purpose. It is smaller in size, easy
to install and has low magnetic losses and is not always loaded fully.
• As it does not work for constant load throughout 24 hours as in the
daytime its load is at its peak, and during the night hours it is very
lightly loaded thus the efficiency depends on load cycle and is
calculated as All Day Efficiency. The distribution transformers are
designed for maximum efficiency of 60 to 70%
Instrument Transformer
• They are generally known as an isolation transformer. Instrument
transformer is an electrical device used to transform current as well
as a voltage level. The most common use of instrument transformer
is to safely isolate the secondary winding when the primary has
high voltage and high current supply so that the measuring
instrument, energy meters or relays which are connected to the
secondary side of the transformer will not get damaged. The
instrument transformer is further divided into two types:
• Current Transformer (CT)
• Potential Transformer (PT)
Current Transformer
• The current transformer is used for measuring and also for the protection. When the current in the circuit is
high to apply directly to the measuring instrument, the current transformer is used to transform the high
current into the desired value of the current required in the circuit.
• The primary winding of the current transformer is connected in series to the main supply and the various
measuring instruments like ammeter, voltmeter, wattmeter or protective relay coil. They have accurate,
current ratio and phase relation to enable the meter accurately on the secondary side. The term ratio has a
great significance in CT.
• For example, if its ratio is 2000:5, it means a CT has an output of 5 Ampere when the input current is 2000
amp on the primary side. The accuracy of the Current Transformer depends upon many factors like Burden,
load, temperature, phase change, rating, saturation, etc.
• In the current transformer, the total primary current is the vector sum of the excitation current and the current
equal to the reversal of secondary current multiplied by turn ratio.
Where,
Ip – primary current
Is – secondary or reversal current
I0 – excitation current
KT – turn ratio
Potential Transformer
• The potential transformer is also called as the voltage transformer. The primary winding is
connected across the High voltage line whose voltage is to be measured, and all the measuring
instruments and meters are connected to the secondary side of the transformer.
• The main function of the Potential transformer is to step down the voltage level to a safe limit or
value. The primary winding of the potential transformer is earthed or grounded as a safety point.
• For example, the voltage ratio primary to secondary is given as
500:120, it means the output voltage is of 120 V when the 500 V is
applied to the primary. The different types of potential transformer
are shown below in the figure:
• Electromagnetic (it is a wire wound transformer)
• Capacitor (capacitor voltage transformer CVT uses capacitor
voltage divider)
• Optical (works on the electrical property if optical materials)
• The percentage voltage error is given by the equation
==>
Single Phase Transformer
• A single-phase transformer is a static
device, works on the principle of
Faraday’s law of mutual Induction. At a
constant level of frequency and variation
of voltage level, the transformer
transfers AC power from one circuit to
the other circuit.
• There are two types of windings in the
transformer. The winding to which AC
supply is given is termed as Primary
winding and in the secondary winding,
the load is connected.
Three Phase Transformer
• If the three single-phase transformer is taken and connected
together with their all the three primary winding connected to each
other as one and all the three secondary windings to each other,
forming as one secondary winding, the transformer is said to behave
as a three-phase transformer, that means a bank of three single-
phase transformer connected together which acts as a three-phase
transformer.
• Three-phase supply is mainly used for electric power generation,
transmission and distribution for industrial purpose. It is less costly to
assemble three single-phase transformer to form a three-phase
transformer than to purchase one single three-phase transformer.
The three-phase transformer connection can be done by Star (Wye)
and Delta (Mesh) type.
• The connection of primary and secondary winding can be done by
various combinations shown :
• The combination of the primary winding and the secondary winding
is done as star-star, delta-delta, star-delta and delta-star.
