Solar conversion systems, which had been lagging behind large scale wind farms in the renewable energy sweepstakes, are now coming on strong. Interest in transformers to be used for solar installations has quadrupled in the past year, now clearly outstripping wind farm equipment. Key reasons for the popularity include the fact that solar systems offer more constant loading, far less harmonics, ...

A substation is a high-voltage electric facility containing equipment to regulate and distribute electrical energy. While some substations are small with little more than a transformer and associated switches, other substations are large and complex.
Functions of a substation include receiving power from a generating facility, regulating distribution, stepping voltage up and down, ...

1. What is the purpose for a grounding transformer
Simply put, a grounding transformer is used to provide a ground path to either an ungrounded "Y" or a delta connected system and are used to....
Provide a relatively low impedance path to ground, thereby maintaining the system neutral at or near ground potential.
Limit the magnitude of transient over ...

Transformers of varied sizes and configurations are at the heart of all power systems. As a critical and an expensive component of the power systems, transformers play an important role in power delivery and the integrity of the power system network as a whole. Transformers, however, have operating limits beyond which the transformer loss of life can occur. If subjected to adverse conditions ...
