what is the function of breather in a transformer

Answer Posted / dnyaneshwar

breather is used in the transformer for suction of air to
the transformer tank for cooling purposes.when the oil is
expanded due to heating.
in breather there is an arrangment of oil cup & silica jel.
the silics gel is used for absorbtion of moisture in the
air. the dusty particals are accumulated at the inlet of
the breather of the transformer.

plz, anybody give another ans...
then welcome.

A 500 V shunt motor runs at its normal speed of 250rpm when the armature current is 200A. The resistance of the armature is 0.12 Ω. Calculate the speed when a resistance is inserted in the field reducing the shunt field to 80% of normal value and the armature current is 100A.

I just purchased a 4 position cam switch to be used to operate a 3-speed blower motor. The motor is a 10 amp motor and has 3 wires that are used to control speed. The cam switch was rated at 660V 20 amps but when I received it, I noticed that it has AC-15 operational current rating (Ie) of 4/5 amps. If I am reading the label correctly. the 4/5 amps is related to 440v/220V (Ue). Other ratings are AC-3: 5.5A, AC2: 7.5A and AC-4: 1.5A. My questions are 1) Is it safe to use this switch with the motor I have 2) what is the difference between the 20 amp Ith ratting and the Ie operational ratings?
