The grain-oriented steels, containing ca 3.25% siUcon, are used in the highest efficiency distribution and power transformers and in large turbine generators. They are processed in a proprietary way and have directional properties related to orientation of the large crystals in a preferred direction. 

High sihcon steels (historically 3.75—5.00% but more recentiy 6% Si) are used in power transformers and high efficiency motors, generators, and transformers, and in communications equipment.

Limiting the use of brittle metals such as ceramic or porcelain. Although, avoiding the use of such materials in some cases may not be practical, as in the case of lightning arresters, bushings and insulators used in an HT switchgear, instrument and power transformers and reactors.

Yes. particularly for dry insulated equipment (such tis an inductitm motor, a dry type reactor nr a dry type Iransbirmer). which have low insulation levels. An oil-immersed equipment (such as a power transformer), having a relatively inueh better dielectric strength, may he switched witlioui an arrester... 

Voltage polarization depends upon the location of the relay and the location of the fault. It is possible that the residual voltage, at a particular location in the system, is not sufficient to actuate the voltage coil of the directional G/F relay. In such an event, current polarization is used to supplement voltage polarization. Current polarization is possible, provided that a star point is created on the system, even through a A/t> power transformer, if such a transformer is available in the same circuit. Figure 21.20. Else a grounding transformer may be provided as...

SaturiUioii of power transformers as a result of periodic overloading and load rejections. 

Tap-ehanging faeility Where necessary, the reactance of the coil can be varied by providing an on- or offload tap-changing gear with the reactor, similar to a power transformer. 

The design philosophy behind the fixed-base drive circuit is to draw current from a relatively low voltage source (3 to 5 V) which is usually provided by an auxiliary winding on the power transformer. The resistor directly in series with the base (R2 as shown in Figure 3-33) should be on the order of 100ohms. Its... 

This proeedure is identieal to that of designing a forward-mode power transformer. I will use a small E-E eore and will separate the primary and the see-ondary windings with several layers of insulating Mylar tape. The gate drive... 

Solve for the number of turns on the primary winding. (Use Equation 3.20 a, b, or e. This transformer is designed the same way as a forward-mode power transformer). 

Differential relaying is the universal bus and transformer protection scheme. The inrush current associated with power transformers rec uires a special differential relay utilizing filters to provide harmonic restraint to differentiate between energizing current and fault current. 

Power transformers perform the very important function of linking parts of the power system that are at different voltages. They are found exclusively in substations, except in the distribution system, where they may be mounted on poles or pads close to the loads they are serving.

The majority of power transformers change the voltage from one side of the transformer to the other. The change in voltage is directly related to the number of turns each conductor (primary and...

In power transformer manufacture the case of paper insulation and oil used in combination is well established. Both materials can be operated safely at the same maximum temperature (105°C) and this combination of use seems unlikely to be phased out in the near future.

Such protection can be used on a power transformer, a motor or generator, or a single feeder. In addition, other types of relay are used for particular applications (e.g. transformer Buchholz gas, neutral voltage displacement and over-voltage).
