5 Interesting Facts About Transformers
by Trutech Products Transformer Manufacturers in IndiaAs the name suggests, the transformer is an electric device
that transfers electricity from one circuit to another. It works on the
principle of electromagnetic induction. If you are searching for the best
quality transformers, we, one of the most renowned Transformer Manufacturers in Mumbai, Trutech
Products, are the platform where your search ends. We dedicatedly worked
for years and manufactured top-grade material products for you. Our experts
double-check the quality and ensure the safety of our products. Let’s first
take a tour of some interesting facts about transformers. Here we go.
Some Facts
About Transformers:
Why do
Transformers Works Only On AC?
There are two types of current alternating current and direct
current. But the transformers only work on the AC. It doesn’t work on the DC.
Now the question arises why is it so? So the reason for this is that DC has no
varying field, and it remains constant, so no relative motion between coil and
core takes place that is necessary for electromotive force. Hence no power is
transferred from primary to secondary. Also, the transformer has low resistance
and high inductance, but DC has no inductance and only resistance. It results
in an excessive flow of current in the primary circuit of the transformer that
causes burning it.
Why Are
Transformers Connected In Parallel?
In every industry or electricity department, the transformers
are connected in parallel, not in series. Again a question comes to your mind,
why are they not linked in series? It's because when the transformers are
connected in parallel, the load gets divided between them. It also increases
the reliability of the circuit. But when we join the transformers in series,
the current remains the same, so no load is shared. And in this case, if one
transformer has some fault, the whole circuit of transformers will stop
working, which results in the disruption of the electricity supply.
Why Copper
Wound Transformers Preferred Instead Of Aluminum One?
Copper wound transformers are preferred in place of aluminum
transformers because copper has various advantages. Here are some points:-
·
Copper is more tensile, strong, and rigid than the
aluminum
·
Copper is less resistivity than the aluminum
·
Copper enhances energy performance than aluminum
Why Are
Transformers Always Stationary?
There are no rotating parts in the transformer to generate
output. The coils are wound around the stationary iron core, and the whole
transformer is enclosed in a tank. So, the transformer requires no rotating
parts for generating power.
Tank Is
Made Of Steel, But Why It Not Develops Current?
The tank of the transformer is of carbon steel. But it won't
give you shock? I know it’s shocking but true. Now the question arises, why the
body of the transformer does not develop current on its tank? The answer is
simple. There is transformer oil between the primary and secondary coils and
between the body of the transformer and coils. This oil helps in offering
insulation from conductivity. That’s why the body of the transformer never
develops any current.
