    *Making a checklist before performing maintenance on an oil-filled transformer can make the process easier and ensure that all necessary steps and requirements are fulfilled. A checklist can help in-house and contract workers from trusted companies perform their responsibilities. The following steps are some of the basic items to check off the list during the maintenance process to ensure a thorough job: 1-Ensure that the transformer is de-energized and offline before performing any maintenance work. 2-Visually inspect the equipment for any rust, dirt accumulation, chipped paint, or discoloration. 3-Listen to the unit when it is energized for any signs of abnormal vibrations or noise. 4-Clean the transformer and remove all signs of dust, debris, and dirt from it. 5-Check the transformer temperature and oil level indicators. 7-Inspect all cables, bolts, and hardware for tightness. Tighten anything that may be loose. 7-Re-energize the transformer before performing tests and analyses like breakdown voltage testing or infrared temperature analysis. Inspect the transformer for signs of leakages. If found, address the leak immediately. If a transformer leaks often, it might be better to fully replace the transformer unit. Common sources of transformer oil leaks are bad gaskets, improperly welded points, and the presence of rust on the bottom of the unit. Record all events and conditions of the maintenance work. Make sure you are keeping an updated log of all activities as part of the transformer overall lifespan. We are here to HELP, reach out if you have any transformer needs.

    TRANSFORMER TUESDAY! Here are some fun facts about power transformers: Transformers don't have rotating parts to generate output. Transformers work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Transformers have low resistance and high inductance. The transformer tank is made of carbon steel. Transformer oil is used to insulate the transformer from conductivity. Transformers can't use direct current because direct current doesn't produce a changing magnetic field. Transformers transfer electrical energy between different voltage levels while maintaining frequency. Transformers can step up or step down voltage levels. Transformers inside electronics equipment provide the kinds of electricity the various parts need. There are several basic types of transformers, including step-up, step-down, and transformers that have the same output voltage as input voltage. The first commercial transformer was designed by William Stanley for Westinghouse in 1886. The typical lifespan of an oil-filled transformer is around 20-30 years, but some high-voltage models can last 50 or 60 years. NEED TRANSFORMERS? WE HAVE THEM! LEAD TIMES FROM 4 WEEKS!

    Power Transformer Principles Transformers are static devices that transfer energy from one set of coils to another through a varying magnetic flux, provided that both sets are on a common magnetic circuit (core). A change in the magnitude of flux linkages with time induces electromotive forces (Figure 1). Figure 1. Elementary transformer, secondary open circuited   Rectangular stampings of magnetic sheet steel, clamped together, make up the transformer core. Copper or aluminum windings positioned on the core (or the legs) comprise the primary, secondary, and tertiary of the transformer. Usually, we would name the power receiving side the primary side and name the power delivery side the secondary side. Tertiaries, when used, have diverse purposes. We can also identify the windings according to the voltage: high-voltage side (HV), and low-voltage side (LV). This approach is practical when power flows in both directions. The ratio of transformation, or turns ratio, depends on the relative number of turns in each winding. It is also the ratio of the primary to secondary no-load voltage, or voltage ratio. Under load conditions, the actual voltage ratio is a little different due to the drop in the transformer windings. A transformer’s voltage regulation refers to this drop at rated load, which varies with the load power factor, even with constant kVA (kilovolt-ampere). When the voltage is increased or decreased by the transformer turns ratio, the opposite happens to the current. The product of voltage and current on each side is the same. In the ideal transformer: E1 · I1 = E2 · I2 Turns ratio N = N1/N2 = E1/E2 = I2/I1 E2 = 1/N · E1 and I2 = N · I1 A key concept to remember is the product of current and number of turns in each winding N·i must balance. This balance is called ampere-turns, although the unit for N·i, according to Ampere's law, is the Ampere.  #transformer #powertransformer #transformersupplier
