Hello CEans !
Placements are near the corner. So in this thread we can share our knowledge covering each Power machine , its performance charactertistics , its construction and the things whuch is beyond the books. The things which are practical and can be known only if we visit generating station or any substation.
Lets take up Transformers first.
1) Transformer is a static machine having efficiency near 95%.
2) It consists of laminated Core (generally CRGO- Cold rolled grained oriented) and copper
windings.
3) It can be classified as given below:
On the basis of Phases :
a) Single phase
b) Three phase
On the basis of Core :
a) Core type
b) Shell type
On the basis of utility
a) Power transformers
b) Distribution transformers.
c) Instrument transformers
