Transformers are normally designed and built for use at rated frequency and perfect sinusoidal load current. A non-linear load on a transformer leads to harmonic power losses which cause increased operational costs and additional heating in power system components. It leads to higher losses, early fatigue of insulation, premature failure and reduction of the useful life of the transformer. To p...

An audio transformer is used in a guitar amplifier to match the impedances of the power amplifier and a loudspeaker. It is important to understand the influence of the audio transformer on the overall sound quality for realistic tube amplifier emulation. This paper proposes to simulate the audio transformer using a wave digital filter model, which is based on the gyrator-capacitor analogy. The ...

Superconducting quantum circuits must be designed carefully to avoid dissipation from coupling to external control circuitry. We describe a reformulation of dissipation theory based on a current-to-current transformer model. We test this theory with an experimentally determined impedance transformation of 105 and find quantitative agreement better than a factor of 2 between this transformation ...

Cellulosic paper and oil insulation in a transformer degrade at higher operating temperatures. Degradation is accelerated in the presence of oxygen and moisture. Power transformers being expensive items need to be carefully monitored throughout its operation. Well established time-based maintenance and conservative replacement planning is not feasible in a current market driven electricity indu...

Current and voltage transducers provide instrument level signals to protective relays. Protective relay accuracy and performance are directly related to the steady state and transient performance of the instrument transformers. Protective relays are designed to operate in a shorter time than the time period of the transient disturbance during a system fault. Large instrument transformer transie...

With increasing competition in the global market continuous research are done to optimize the behavior of materials to be used in transformer. Since silicon (Si) comprises a very good crystallographic arrangement then that of iron (Fe), silicon is fused with iron for considerable reduction of leakage flux in it. A novel M19 high grade silicon steel core has been introduced for 1 KVA 415/230V de...

In recent years there has been very extensive use of power electronic devices, which result in harmonic proliferation in the power distribution system. In this paper, as per IEEE C 57.110 standards, procedure to calculate total loss in the distribution transformer under non-linear distortion environment is proposed. The power factor capacitor performance under non-linear load conditions is also...
