    Study Notes

    Transformer Types and Applications

    • AS/NZS 3000 clauses 4.14.2 to 4.14.5 specify installation requirements for transformers, including secondary circuit, low voltage supply, auto-transformers, and step-up transformers.
    • Transformer bushings serve the crucial purpose of insulating the transformer terminals.
    • Common information found on transformer nameplates includes KW rating, winding connections, serial number, and frequency.

    Transformer Core and Laminations

    • Transformer cores are not made from bronze; this statement is false.
    • Types of transformer laminations include W&M Type, E&I Type, and L Type.

    Industry Standards

    • Relevant industry standards related to transformers include:
      • AS 2374.1.2: Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS) requirements for power transformers.
      • AS 2374.1: General requirements for power transformers.
      • AS 60076.11-2006: Standards for dry-type power transformers.

    Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS)

    • MEPS aim to help customers understand appliance efficiency, facilitating informed choices regarding energy usage.

    High Power Applications

    • Current Transformers are commonly used in high-power switchboard metering applications.
    • Power transformers have the highest power ratings and continuous voltage performance ratings among all transformer classes.

    Load Adaptation

    • Large distribution transformers feature variable tappings that compensate for changes in load and supply voltage in distribution systems.

    Voltage Transformer Protection

    • Voltage transformers can be protected from secondary short circuits by incorporating fuses in the secondary circuits.

    Standard Values for Voltage Transformers

    • Standard rated output values for voltage transformers typically range from 10VA to 500VA.
