I’m sure many readers would question why anyone would want to perform a relatively expensive insulation power factor test on an inexpensive transformer. Typically, if any testing is done, it will be ...

The costliest piece of equipment in a substation is the Power Transformer. Therefore, a good maintenance program is required to keep these power transformers operating reliable. Over the past few ...

If the reliability of the public electricity supply is to be maintained in the future, routine diagnostic testing of transformers by the power utilities is no longer optional – it’s a necessity, ...

Solid-state ac supplies replace motor-generator and tap-changing transformers to offer the same tests at the push of a button • Solid-state ac-power sources combine the variable-frequency and ...

Electrica signature analysis (ESA) uses the magnetic field in the air gap of an electrical machine to evaluate power quality conditions. Dry and oil transofrmer types are subject to problems ...

So you have an old tube-type transmitter as a backup. It ran perfectly when you last turned it on two years ago to substitute for your then-ailing solid-state main transmitter. Now you need it again.

Certain electromagnetic devices such as differential transformers are effective at translating the displacement of a magnetic armature into an AC voltage, which is a linear function of the ...
