Answer / raven

it is placed in long cylinder which is internally connected
to transformer.This gel absorbs any moisture preset in
transformer,it changes its color/state indicating it is time
to replace the gel with a new one.There is no fan present
near silicon gel as far as i know.I visited loco shed of
railways where there are huge transformers.
Well i hope this is correct. :)

Answer / thowsif

Silicon gel is an good absorber of Moisture,their is no fan
in breather of the tansformer.

Answer / blake_australia

answer 1 is correce.
The air in a transformer expands as the transformer heats,
and contracts as it cools. This causes the air flow. This
expansion of gasses is the reason that the transformer is
open to air.

Some transformers have a bladder seperating the transformer
oil/air and the outside air, and dont need this silica gel.

Answer / pillay

BLAKE_AUS and THOWSIF ARE right so as raven but i just want
to add something to it.The silica gel is placed in the only
way air can get into or get out of the transformer so
whenever there is some movement of air it passes through the
silica gell

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.

As we use capacitor bank in 3ph ckt to improve PF, can we use capacitor in single ph domestric use, in house we have Fan,Mixer,electric cooker,iron,tube choke they also lag the system,because it is inductive load. if it is possible to improve PF of single ph system-- if yes- type of capacitor to be used,connection diagram, working in detail. if no-- list it.
