isolation and auto transformer

Transformer has a big family. That is to say, there is a variety of types of it. For example, current Transformer, pole type transformer, isolation and auto transformer and so on.

The type we use of it depends on the use and role of it. And the size of transformer also has a wide range. Today let’s pay attention to the story of its size.

If you want to see the large transformers, you may go to a substation which contains a large capacity. Now let’s go to the Cathedral Square Substation in Vancouver.

To increase the reliability of existing electrical infrastructure and address growing demand for electricity in the downtown core, BC Transmission Corporation (BCTC) has installed a third electrical transformer at Cathedral Square Substation in Vancouver. BCTC worked closely with BC Hydro on this project.

The transformer was moved from the waterfront rail yard to Cathedral Square Substation in the early morning hours of Sunday, February 1 on a 150-ft-long trailer. A 500-ton crane was required to lift the transformer from the trailer and lower it into the substation.

Cathedral Square Substation Cathedral Square Substation is located underground on the corner of Dunsmuir and Richards Streets in downtown Vancouver. Constructed in the early 1980s, Cathedral Square Substation now serves approximately one-third of the downtown electrical load. Currently, two 25-year-old transformers that have a life expectancy of 50 years serve Cathedral Square.

Zero Phase Current Transformers

Pole Type Transformer

The data of this transformer:

Weighs 176 tons

Measures 30 ft long by 12 ft wide by 16 ft high

Installation required a 500-ton crane

Transported by CP Rail from St. Louis to Vancouver waterfront Transformer cost is approximately $3.4 million.

Wow it’s amazing!

If you are a careful person and knows a little about electrical engineering, you can found the transformer applied in many respects in our life. And there are many transformers with much smaller sizes used in motor vehicle, family circuit, electronics product. So They all have play a great role.

‘We are currently utilising 60 per cent of our installed production capacity. It will be raised to 75 per cent during the fiscal to meet the company’s desired objective in terms of market share,’ he added.

Luminous Power Technologies General Manager Amit Shukla today told Indiablooms.com over phone that the company also aimed at grabbing a market share of 18 per cent under battery inverters during the current fiscal.

The manufacturing units of the company are located at Baddi and Gagret in Himachal Pradesh, with daily installed output capacities of 5,500 battery inverters and 7,500 inverters, respectively.

The company also planned to set up another unit at Gagret for producing SNS batteries, the GM said and declined to divulge further details in this regard.

Moreover, Luminous Power Technologies would recruit 150 sales personnel in the next three to four months and the current headcount stands at 180 in this regard, according to him.

The use of inverter

‘The company notched up a turnover of Rs 650 crore during the past fiscal and such figure was assessed at Rs 533 crore in 2007-08. We are eyeing a turnover of Rs 1,000 crore this fiscal,’ Mr Shukla said.

The company is having 7,000 authorised dealers and 12,000 distributors across the country.

You know there is a old Chinese saying: “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” If you want to buy a flat like that, you must make sure that it does no harm to you!

A high-voltage substation must contain many high-voltage equipments, such as transformer, Converter, High Voltage Transmission Lines and so on. Besides high-voltage may produce electromagnetic radiation around.

Attention! it does harm to our body. Now let me tell you some hazards to human by High-voltage substation’s electromagnetic radiation:

Transformer

1. It is very likely one reason that children suffer from leukemia.
2. Able to induce cancer and accelerate the proliferation of human cancer cells.
3. Affect the reproductive system.
4. Can lead to missing children’s intelligence.
5. The human visual system is affected.
6. Noise pollution.
7. Fire and explosion.
8. High lighting hazard areas.
9. The leakage of toxic chemicals.

Oh, my God! How dare a person live in such houses, at least not me!
