RESOURCE LINKS, TYPES & DESCRIPTIONS
There are
many Other Popular Voltage Transformers available. The main
categories fall into the following general types: 3 Phase Transformers,
Single Phase Transformers, Isolation Transformers, Medical Isolation
Transformers, Step Up Transformers, Step Down Transformers, Phase Converters
and AC Line Reactors. While there may be others, they will usually be a
subtype of one or more of the above.
Custom built versions of Buck Boost
Transformers and Other Popular Voltage Transformers can be ordered
when production models do not fit the exact specs necessary to answer the
specific application.
Each
category of transformer addresses a distinct issue in transmission,
distribution, or modification of electrical voltage and current. For this
reason they may be wired differently from each other though the basic
electrical relationships and mathematical formulas used are the same.
Below is a
short description and a link to a site for each of the categories of
Other Popular Voltage Transformers as listed above:
Other Popular
Voltage Transformers
3 Phase
Transformers - Most transmission systems start out with 3 phase power as
the power is produced via generators with three equally spaced wound
circuits. Each of the three circuits is connected to an outgoing line that
is carried throughout the transmission and distribution system until such
time as single phase current is delivered to areas where that form of power
is most useful. Step Up, Step Down, Buck Boost, Line Reactors, Isolation and
Medical isolation Transformers can all be purchased in 3 phase
configurations.
Single
Phase Transformers - are found commonly in the local distribution phase
of power transmission in neighborhoods, remote areas, and non-industrial
areas, or are ganged up to function as 3 phase transformers.
Isolation Transformers - are generally
not produced specifically to raise or lower voltage but to provide power
that comes through two separated windings in which the power is induced from
one to the other without an actual physical connection. There is usually
some kind of extra insulation or shielding to prevent stray currents from
bleeding between the two windings. The point in this is to eliminate stray
DC currents, static and interference that may have been acquired in the
transmission of the power.
Medical Isolation Transformers
- As above, they perform the function of providing power not directly
connected to the power source, but include being built to more rigorous
governmental and safety specifications to protect personnel, expensive
electronic equipment and patients who may come into contact with the
equipment or electronics connected to the power source.
Step Up Transformers - When a major
increase in voltage is desirable one of these will be employed. The most
common use is directly after the original power generator where voltage is
stepped up to enormous volumes. Since power is transmitted more efficiently
the higher the voltage; the lower the current, and current falls in indirect
proportion to a raise in voltage this significantly reduces the power lost
to resistance. (Resistance is a function of the volume of current.) Smaller
Step Up Transformers can also be used later in the distribution system when
adding power from other local generation sources, or when there is a need to
bring the voltage up to a higher constant.
Step Down Transformers - are used
later in the power transmission and distribution systems to reduce voltage
to the more useful levels for local power. They may also be used to correct
chronically high voltage conditions.
Phase
Converters - As previously mentioned, there may be a need in
a local area to have a different phase style. If single phase is all that is
available but equipment demanding 3 phase power is to be used, a phase
converter is installed. The power will then efficiently run large motors,
welders, CNC equipment, certain computer installations and such.
This is
usually cheaper and more efficient than trying to run 3 phase from the
original source as doing so may involve extensive and expensive installation
of power lines and lengthy time delays in getting up and running
AC Line
Reactors - use windings in a different way. There is one
continuous wound coil, not two, as in the transformers above, The energy in
the field around the coil has an inertia that will resist changes. There is
a consequent delay in response to spikes and drops. This will result in a
lowering of the peak voltage and a lengthening of time it takes to raise and
lower. The tendency, then, is to correct the sinusoidal wave distortions in
the AC current and eliminate undesirable effects of local electrical
phenomena on the power flow in the line.
