PHEP 23 Flashcards
TRANSFORMERS PERMIT THE TRANSFER OF ELECTRICITY BETWEEN TWO CIRCUITS WHICH ARE
COMPLETELY INSULATED FROM EACH OTHER
IN A TRANSFORMER THE WINDING WHICH RECEIVES THE ENERGY INDUCTIVELY IS CALLED THE
SECONDARY WINDING
A POWER TRANSFORMER TRANSFERS ELECTRIC POWER FROM ONE CIRCUIT FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE AND TO A SECOND CIRCUIT AT
A DIFFERENT VOLTAGE AND SAME FREQUENCY
TRANSFORMERS ARE CLASSED AS STATIC AC MACHINES
TRUE
A TRANSFORMER DEVELOPED 120 VOLTS IN ITS SECONDARY WHEN A 2400 VOLT SOURCE WAS CONNECTED ACROSS ITS PRIMARY. ASSUMING A PRIMARY CURRENT OF .25 AMPERES THE SECONDARY CURRENT IS
5 AMPS
WHEN THE NUMBER OF TURNS OR VOLTAGE ON THE SECONDARY OF A TRANSFORMER IS GREATER THAT THAT OF THE PRIMARY IT IS KNOWN AS A
STEP-UP TRANSFORMER
TRANSFORMERS HAVING ONLY ONE WINDING ARE CALLED
AUTOTRANSFORMERS
THE SECONDARY OF A POTENTIAL TRANSFORMER SHOULD NEVER BE
SHORT CIRCUITED TO REMOVE THE DEVICE IT OPERATES FROM SERVICE
WHAT IS THE INDUCED SECONDARY VOLTAGE OF A TRANSFORMER HAVING A PRIMARY WINDING OF 3000 TURNS AND A SECONDARY WINDING OF 300 TURNS WHEN CONNECTED TO A 24OO VAC SOURCE
240 VOLTS
IN A CORE TYPE TRANSFORMER
A SECTION OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY WINDINGS ARE WOUND AROUND EACH LEG OF THE CORE
CURRENT TRANSFORMERS ARE INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS USED TO
STEP CURRENT DOWN
HYSTRERESIS CAN BE EXPLAINED AS
FRICTION OF THE MOLECULES DUE TO ALTERNATING CURRENT
WHEN A TRANSFORMER’S WINDINGS ARE CONNECTED WYE
THE LINE CURRENT WILL BE THE SAME AS THE PHASE CURRENT
A SERIES STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM REQUIRES WHAT TYPE OF TRANSFORMER
A CONSTANT CURRENT TRANSFORMER
THE RATING OF A TRANSFORMER IS USUALLY GIVEN IN
VA,KVA,MVA
