transformers parts & function of each parts

Answer Posted / b.praveen patnaik

The main parts of the transformer are as under :
1. Oil Tank:
This part of the xmer contains the assembly of the core and
the winding which is immersed in insulation oil.

2. Radiator :
This part is basically used for the cooling of Xmer by the
means of natural air.

3. Conservater:
This is mainly used for the storage of extra insulation oil
which is to overcome the requirement of the tank assembly
system.

4. Air breather:
This is used for the extraction of the moisture from the
core of the transformers.

5. Temperature meter (O.T/W.T):
These are used for taking the readings of O.T.I - Oil
Temperature Indicator and W.T.I - Winding Temperature
Indicator.

6. Drain Valve:
This is used for the Exhaust of the insulation oil during
the maintainance of the Xmer.

7. Tap-changer:
This is used for the tapping of the Xmer at different
levels.

8. Pressure release Valve (P.R.V):
This is used for the tripping purpose in the Xmers for the
safety purpose.

9.Buchloz Relay:
This is used for the tripping purpose by the help air gap
inbetween the switching circuit.

10. Primary and secondary winding:
These are the two coils of the Xmer and the no. of turns
depend upon the rating of the transformer.

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
