Transformer Working: Efficiency and Maintenance

Click on the flashcard to see the answer

What factors affect the efficiency of transformers?

Factors like core material, winding resistance, and insulation affect transformer efficiency.

How can transformer efficiency be improved?

Transformer efficiency can be improved by using better core materials, reducing resistance in windings, and minimizing leakage flux.

What is routine maintenance for transformers?

Routine maintenance includes inspecting oil levels, checking insulation, and ensuring there are no leaks or overheating issues.

Why is oil used in transformers?

Oil in transformers acts as both a coolant and an insulator.

What are the consequences of high transformer losses?

High transformer losses lead to increased operational costs and potential overheating, reducing the lifespan of the transformer.
