Heat is generated during the operation of a transformer due to ohmic losses (I2R losses) in the winding and core. The removal of heat from the transformer is called transformer cooling. In this article, we will learn different ways to cool a transformer. Types of Transformer Cooling Methods Depending upon the type of transformer, transformer … Read more
Flyback Transformers are electrical transformers that produce high voltage signals and strong boosting capacity at a high frequency. They can be operated over a range of input voltage & load conditions. Also known as coupled inductors, they provide circuit isolation and encourage both positive or negative output voltages. Usually, these transformers are designed as voltage … Read more
The short circuit test is performed on a transformer to find series branch parameters and rated copper loss. This test is always preferred to perform on the high voltage (HV) side of the transformer. The short circuit test is always done at the rated current on that side of the transformer where the test is … Read more
The open circuit test is performed on a transformer to find no-load (or shunt branch) parameters and core loss (or iron loss). This test is also known as the no-load test. This test is always preferred to perform on the low voltage (LV) side of the transformer. This test is always performed on the rated … Read more
