LOADING POWER TRANSFORMERS BEYOND NAMEPLATE RATING:SIMULATION SOFTWARE

LOADING POWER TRANSFORMERS BEYOND NAMEPLATE RATING:SIMULATION SOFTWARE VIDEO

Power transsformers are one of the most critical asset in any power system network. Transformers undergoe different load cycles that vary depending the time of day and year in power system conditions. For example, the daily load cycle tends to increase during the early hours of the morning before people leave for work and in the evning after they arrive home.

Similarly, a yearly load cycle during the hot summer months when high ambient temperature cause consumers to ramp up their air conditioners and use more electrical power. During contingecy conditions, single or variuos network elemaents such as transsmission lines, generators or transformers might be isolated from the power system. As a consequence,transformers can become overloaded by reaching magnitudes above its maximum nameplate capability affecting and possible reducing the overall life of the transformer.During transformer overloads, theextra power delivered y the transformer willincrease thetemperature of the oil and internal windings.

Ratron is a simulation software that can give an overview of the possible effect of overloading a certain power transformer up to a certain level. Through this, proper overloading study can be done. The video above will discuss topics regarding loading power transformers beyond its nameplate rating and its consquences to the life span of the transformer.

    really nice, name plate are one of the important things that develop and promotes an identity for the brands

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").

DISADVANTAGES OF Y-Y CONNECTION IN THREE PHASE SYSTEM

What are the disadvantages in using y-y connection? The Y-Y transformer connection was poorly understood in the early days of power engineering and it received a very bad reputation when it was first used; in fact, this connection was avoided for a long time until its limitations were overcome by good engineering practice. Some of the inherent disadvantages of the Y-Y connection are discussed below:
