As an integral part of the Smart Grid, smart transformers both work independently to constantly regulate voltage and maintain contact with the smart grid in order to allow remote administration if needed and to provide information and feedback about the power supply and the transformers themselves. Through a process known as voltage optimization, a smart transformer provides the exact amount of...

A new reference material (RM), RM 8504, has been prepared for use as a diluent oil with Aroclors in transformer oil Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 3075 to 3080 and SRM 3090 when developing and validating methods for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as Aroclors in transformer oil or similar matrices. SRMs 3075-3080 and SRM 3090 consist of individual Aroclors in the same...

The gases generated in oil filled transformer can be used for determination of incipient faults. Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) of transformer oil has been one of the most power full methods to detect the faults. The various methods such as liquid chromatography, acoustic analysis, and transformer function techniques are require some experience to interpret observations. The researchers have used...

To study the voltage distribution in transformer windings under VFTO, a model for transformer windings has been developed based on Multi-conductor Transmission-Lines (MTLs) theory and the computing equations of the model based on FiniteDifference Time-Domain method (FDTD) is deduced. The Vector Fitting method is adopted to treat the frequency-dependent parameter by expanding the time-domain for...

Copper and aluminium are the two conductors most commonly used in transformer windings. This study presents a comprehensive comparison of distribution transformers built either with copper or with aluminium windings. The comparison is based on winding material conductivity, density, cost, connectivity, oxidation, machinability and behaviour under short-circuit. Additionally, a parametric analys...

In order to develop the high efficiency and low loss in transformer, it is essential reduce iron on grain-oriented electrical steel sheet which one of transformer loss. On other hand, known that increases due rotating magnetic flux generated at T-junction core, necessary deal with this problem. A vector characteristic control technology has been developed can under existing sheets. paper, we ap...

This work presents a micromachined RF-CMOS transformer fabricated in a commercially available 0.18μm CMOS process. Maskless micromachining post-processing is used to remove oxide and substrate material from around the transformer, reducing parasitic effects and improving the performance of the transformer. Index Terms — baluns, CMOS integrated circuits; MEMS, maskless micromachining, Q enhancem...
