How to Test and Troubleshoot a Transformer? Whether its good or defective

Transformers are stationary electromechanical devices, the operation of which is based on the fact that any alternating electric field creates a magnetic field. This allows two circuits that are electrically isolated from each other to interact. The current in the first circuit creates a magnetic field around it, which, acting on the second circuit and transferring its energy to it, creates a current in it. This article will show you how to test a transformer. Visually Verify Transformer. Often the cause of the failure of the transformer is the overheating of its internal winding. If the transformer housing is swollen or shows burn marks, please do not check it further. Identify the winding of the transformer. It was expected to have easily readable labels. However, it is often helpful to have a circuit diagram containing your transformer to find out how it is related. The circuit diagram can be found on the product documentation or on the manufacturer's website. Which could be ide

High Voltage Engineering Interview Question With Answer

Hello Friends. In last post we shared a lot of mcq on high voltage engg. Now we are going to share interview question on high voltage engg. In this post, breakdown in gases, liquids and solids is mostly discussed. Lets start and enjoy interview question of high voltage engineering. Q.1 Mention the types of insulating materials which is used in high voltage engineering? Ans - Insulating materials are four types. A. Solids B. Liquids C. Gases D. Vacuun Q.2 What are the salient properties of usual metals ? Ans: These are: A. Specific resistivity in ohm meter. B. Temperature resistance coefficient. C. Specific Gravity. D. Tensile strength when used in overhead line. Q.3 What are the usual materials for conductors used in high voltage equipment and transmission lines? Ans- Conductors are mostly fabricated from metals. Depending on the equipment the following metals are found in high voltage work, gold, silver, copper, aluminium, tin, lead, iron, nickel, chromium

Interview Questions On Alternator

Hello Engineers. Today we are sharing alternator interview questions with answer. Q. 1. What are the two types of turbo-alternators ? Ans.  Vertical and horizontal. Q. 2. How do you compare the two ? Ans. Vertical type requires less floor space and while step bearing is necessary to carry the weight of the moving element, there is very little friction in the main bearings. The horizontal type requires no step bearing, but occupies more space. Q. 3. What is step bearing ? Ans. It consists of two cylindrical cast iron plates which bear upon each other and have a central recess between them. Suitable oil is pumped into this recess under considerable pressure. Q. 4. What is direct-connected alternator ? Ans. One in which the alternator and engine are directly connected. In other words, there is no intermediate gearing such as belt, chain etc. between the driving engine and alternator. Q. 5. What is the difference between direct-connected and direct-coupled units ? Ans. In
