A transformer is an easy-to-use gadget. It is the main element for high voltage power transmission. You will find various kinds of transformers, used for many different purposes in the electrical system.
Cooling of transformers is a process where the heat generated is treated back to a safe value. The cooling of transformers is done through various methods.
The primary reason for transformer heat up is the loss of eddy current, iron, copper loss, and hysteresis. Out of all the major reasons behind the transformer’s heating up is the copper loss known as I2R loss.
Before understanding the difference between a three-phase transformer and a single-phase transformer let us understand Transformers are used for power transmission, they are used throughout alternating current systems from generating plants to our home. Transformers can increase or decrease the voltage, for transmitting power for long-distance power lines, the voltage must be increased, then reduced by other transformers before the power enters our house.
One cannot imagine life without electricity. With so many daily appliances working on electricity, it is important to protect them from the damage caused by sudden power failures and voltage fluctuations. The transformer is one such power system equipment that caters to your appliances and protects them from any major damages.
