The government’s plans of generation of renewable energy and 24*7 Power for All will generate a positive growth opportunity for transformers. – Supriya A Oundhakar, Associate Editor

To avoid financial and production hampering in a plant during turnaround, compact split core current transformer (CT) is the best solution.

Strategic mapping of Indian electrical equipment industry - Subhajit Roy, Group Editor

Sridhar Reddy Arumalla, Managing Director, Esennar Transformers sheds light on Indian power and distribution transformers in an e-mail interaction with Electrical India.

HPS offers distribution transformers in both dry-type and oil filled technology utilising the best insulating materials.

Implementation of high voltage distribution system (HVDS) for agriculture consumers will result in reduction in losses, increase in energy saving and improve voltage profile.

An in-depth analysis on how IoT based monitoring system enhances performance of distribution transformers.

The growth is due to the increase in HVDC transmission projects mainly in the Asia-Pacific region. HVDC, EHV, and UHV projects being undertaken for reducing transmission losses during transmission over large distances is the major growth driver of the large power transformer market.

The ABB Ability™ Power Transformer, unveiled at the 2018 Hanover Fair, in Germany, will be the world’s first integrated solution for digitally enabled power transformers, fundamentally changing the transformer paradigm.

The smart transformers are used to provide additional flexibility to control power distribution networks, thereby, facilitating the smooth conversion of AC to DC and DC to AC, as per requirement. Smart transformer caters to a wide variety of applications, ranging from alternative power generation to traction locomotives, power grid and electric industries, and others…

The global market is set to witness a significant growth due to increasing emphasis on alternative energy production across the globe, digitalization of power utilities, and huge investments in smart grids and energy systems...

This article explains how stray losses in the transformer play a vital role in increasing the total losses of transformer and also suggests how the same can be reduced significantly to lowest most value by using magnetic shield which ultimately increased the life expectancy of transformer…

The selection of over-current protection devices such as fuses and circuit breakers is made more complicated when high inrush currents must be tolerated. The over-current protection must react quickly to overload or short circuit faults but must not interrupt the circuit when the (usually harmless) inrush current flows…

The subject of deciding such as the most appropriate method and conditions for accurately measuring the noise level of a transformer has been discussed in this article...

It is fact that the unit of electric energy generated by power station does not match with the units distributed to the consumers. Some percentage of the units is lost in the distribution network. This difference in the generated & distributed units is known as transmission and distribution loss…

In this case study, the authors have reviewed the conventional techniques used to mitigate the overvoltage problem and observe that they have several disadvantages. So, it is suggested a novel technique that relies on a minor modification made to the secondary windings of the distribution transformer: an extra tapping is pulled out from each of the secondary windings into a separate PV junction box which is the modified Point of Common Coupling (PCC)...

Rishabh is having the complete basket of low tension current transformers manufactured in a world class CT manufacturing setup consisting of an automatic testing facility for all CTs with a printed Test Certificate...- Santosh R. Bhangale

The area of concern is the falling tariffs within the renewable energy sector which is affecting the cost of transformers, states Manjit Singh Sethi, Local Business Unit Manager - Transformers, ABB India & Chairman, IEEMA Transformer Division in an interaction with Supriya Oundhakar…

Electrical energy is a major source of the entire process of evolution and modern lifestyle. This paper highlights the developments of the high temperature superconducting (HTSting) power transmission and distribution equipments such as transformer. Demand of energy, electricity generation and power transmission and distribution system require energy efficient equipments and machines...  - Hambir Singh, Muvendra Kumar Singh

There is a  conflict, the  manufacturers are requesting Govt. of India to allow  them the  compliance of one of the authorities/  agencies directive i.e. BIS or BEE  for the  same goal  of  producing Energy Efficient DTs,  and should not insist upon  as in both the cases, they have to manufacture Energy Efficient Distribution Transformers as per only one standard  IS:1180 Part 1/2014… - B Lal
