Transformer parallel operation conditions

 Parallel operation of transformers is required in cases such as the power to be delivered is more than the individual transformer rating. In such cases operating two or more transformers to facilitate the power flow is possible, but certain conditions to be followed while operating transformers in parallel condition

Conditions for parallel operation of Transformers:



  1. Polarities of the transformers must be same (wrong polarity leads to dead short)
  2. The voltage rating of both primary and secondaries are identical. This means the that the transformation or turns ratio must be same for the transformers which are operated to be parallel. (Voltage ratio is to be maintained to avoid circulation current)
  3. Percent (or per unit ) impedance of the transformers are to be same in magnitude and should have the same phase angle (X/R ratio should be same for transformers operating in parallel else division of load will not be proportional to the kVA ratings of transformers)
  4. Phase displacement between the primary and secondary line voltages of the transformers should be same (transformers of star/star and delta/star cannot be paralleled because of the phase difference of -30o making paralleling impossible (cannot be compensated))
  5. Phase sequence of the transformers should be same. (Phase sequence is the order in which the terminal voltage attains their maximum value. Therefore in paralleling the two three phase transformers those terminals whose voltage attains maximum values simultaneously must be paired up.
Conditions 1,4 and 5 are absolutely essential and must be fulfilled, condition 2 must be satisfied to a close degree and condition 3 (X/R ratio) must be satisfied in order to have equal loading on the transformers.

In like way, the changed winding machines are performing hugely yet it requires all the more over the top contraptions. In this way, the scratches has balanced through make of turn winding machine. Since, the machine has vain effort and it can be handle in a general sense and it shape in little scale models.toroidal winding machine

The ferrite center is an assortment of attractive center from ferrite that has winded with electrical transformer and some different segments like inductors. This is for the most part favored for high attractive porousness joined with low electrical conductivity.toroid winding machine

Besides, the inductance security is adequate in the AC and DC conditions. Diverse centers are accessible yet its size might be changed so he centers has been separate in the tallness levels. The holes are joined with the center tallness levels because of the bites the dust may happen. These kinds of attractive powder centers are not constrained with a natural folio so it has don't demonstrated the warm maturing impacts, handle with powder press centers.toroid winding machine
