High Voltage vs. Low Voltage Transformers

Category: Transformers

If your company is planning to invest in a power transformer, it is best to get as well acquainted with these devices as possible, before you ask for quotes and go about buying one. A transformer is a complex and vital component of power transmission and once installed, its life could span anywhere from two to three decades. It is therefore important to make a wise and knowledge-based choice.

There are a few basic things about transformers that you must know. The first is the voltage aspect. There are broadly three voltage ratings in which transformers are available, high voltage, medium voltage, and low voltage. Below is a brief that should help you understand each of them better.

High voltage transformers

The high voltage transformer deals with voltages that cannot be used directly by the consumer, but are used in power transmission applications. High voltage transformers usually handle electrical energy in the range of 230,000 to 35,000 volts. Due to the particular demands of transmitting these voltages across long distances, a highvoltage transformer has considerably different core geometry, winding methods, and insulation methods than low voltage transformers.

High voltage transformers that have the capacity to increase the primary voltage to transmission-level high voltage are called step-up transformers. Conversely, highvoltage transformers can also be used to step-down voltages, depending on where they are in the transmission chain. Some of the applications of high voltage transformers are in electrical isolation, instrumentation and power distribution and control. This type of transformer can also be easily configured from single phase to three phase.

Medium voltage transformers

Transformers in this range are typically deployed in the local distribution sector of the power delivery system. They range from 35,000 volts to 2,400 volts and are used to deliver power from local distribution circuits to end users. Where residential customers are the end user, the output voltage can be as low as 120 volts, or for industrial customers, it can be 5,000 volts. This transformer can be viewed as a link from the end user to the utility provider.

These transformers are most often seen mounted on utility poles or as green boxes with tamperproof enclosures for connections located in shopping malls, residential subdivisions, schools and mobile home parks, in newer residential developments they can even be seen along sitting curb-side in front of the users home. These are usually liquid filled and are by far the most numerous of the three sizes.

Low voltage transformers

A lowvoltage transformer, also sometimes called a magnetic lowvoltage transformer, is typically used at the consumer end of the energy grid. A lowvoltage transformer is a distribution transformer with both the primary and secondary windings designed to operate at system voltages in the low voltage classes. Typically, electronic lowvoltage transformers convert 120 volts into 12 volts or 24 volts. A DC low voltage transformer uses a rectifier to convert its output to direct current (DC) and to lessen radio frequency interference (RFI). Lowvoltage transformers offer a variety of mounting configurations and are often small in size.

So unless your company is a huge steel plant, has a huge furnace, or runs machinery for the mining or petrochemical industry, in all probability your company will have to invest in a medium or low voltage transformer. The exact rating (expressed in terms of kVA), of course, will depend on your energy requirement.

Whatever your eventual requirement, it is important that you consider vendors that can provide customized, environmentally friendly units that conform strictly to DOE standards.

High Voltage Power Equipment Engineering $96.49 No Synopsis Available

High Voltage Engineering $20 High Voltage Engineering has been written for the undergraduate students in Electrical Engineering of Indian and foreign universities as well as the practising engineers. It deals in mechanism of breakdown of insulating materials, generation and measurement of high A.C., D.C., impulse voltages and currents. High voltage testing of some of the electrical equipments e.g. insulators, cables, transformers as per standard specifications has been explained. Various methods of non destructive testing which yield information regarding life expectancy and the long term stability or otherwise of the insulating materials have been discussed. The book takes a view of various types of transients in power system and suggests classical and more modern statistical methods of co-ordinating the insulation requirements of the system.

Measuring Current, Voltage and Power $218 This authoritative new book focuses on recent developments in the instrumentation for sending voltages and currents. It covers new trends and challenges in the field, such as measurements of biocurrents, the increased speed of the components for data taking, testing of computers and integrated circuits where the measurement of rapid voltage and current variations on a very small geometrical scale is necessary. The first chapter concentrates on recent methods to sense voltages and currents, while the rest of the book investigates the applied side, covering for instance electrical power and energy measurements. The main purpose of this volume is to illustrate commonly employed techniques rather than track the scientific evolution and merits and therefore mainly covers patent literature aimed at industrial applications. It is an exciting addition, justifying the series' claim to cover state-of-the-art developments in both the applied and theoretical fields of sensors and actuators. The measurement of voltages and currents is a common task in the field of electricity and electronics. From a technical point of view it is useful to identify schematically different steps of such a measurement. In a first step a voltage or a current is sensed, intermediate steps such as amplification, transmission and further treatment may follow to yield the result in the final step. Today in most cases microprocessors perform the final steps of such measurements. Analog-to digital converters digitise a voltage that is proportional to the value to be measured and a processor performs further computations and handles the storage and the display of the results. The prerequisite for such measurements are sensors or transducers that respond in a known way to the voltage or current to be measured. The emphasis of this book is put on recent developments of the instrumentation for sensing voltages and currents. Aside from the general trend towards smaller, cheaper and more reliable instrumentation, new demands have arisen. New applications, like measurements of biocurrents, ask for higher sensitivities. Computers and integrated circuits pose new challenges. To exploit the increased speed of the components for data taking, suitable sensors are required. The accuracy that can be achieved depends more than ever on the first step, the acquisition of the raw data. The influence of the measurement process on the results becomes more crucial. Testing of integrated circuits themselves is a completely new application. For such tests one has to measure rapid voltage and current variations on very small geometrical scales. Here, as well as in the traditional high voltage applications, contactless measurements play an important role. The organisation of this book is as follows: In the first chapter different methods to sense voltages and currents are described. For the sake of completeness most commonly used methods are mentioned, we concentrate, however, on those developed recentl

High Voltage (Hardcover) $46.61 The auto industry of 2020 is likely to be very different from the field of troubled auto giants we seetoday. Just as in the 1980s it was unimaginable that the home computer would become as common and easy to use as a toaster, so the days of electric cars and plug-in charging stations seem like something still far off in the future.But the combination of technological breakthroughs and charging networks driven by global warmingand peak oil makes it clear that revolutionary change in the auto industry is happening right now. In High Voltage, Jim Motavalli documents the evolution from the internal combustion engine to electric power, catching the industry in a period of profound change. Personality-driven and dramatic, the book chronicles the race to dominate the market, focusing on big players like Tesla and Fisker, as well as a tiny start-up and one female-led battery supplier. Motavalli charts the changes to come in the industry— a future where we will live on a smart grid, our cars “fueling,” i.e. charging, while we shop or sleep. But the ramifications for the larger picture that Motavalli explores will be massive—altering foreign policy, reducing trade deficits, and perhaps even ending global warming.
