Distribution transformer suppliers in Chandigarh are the leading suppliers of distribution transformer, which is actually an electrical equipment used for carrying electrical energy from primary to secondary distribution circuit. It may also be employed for transferring current within secondary distribution circuit and to the service circuit. Such transformers minimise the supply of voltage of primary circuit to amount of voltage needed by consumer. The amount of voltage keeps on altering and it may be different for residential consumers, commercial customers and the consumers of light industry. The manufacturers make distribution transformers right from 5KVA singular phase to 2500 KVA three phases. They can work at several voltage and varied frequency levels as per the standards prevailing in various countries.

What are the salient features of distribution transformers?

  • Distribution transformer may be singular phase or may have three phases.
  • For residential applications singular phase distribution transformers are used.
  • There is three-phase transformer which has pad installed upon them and are used with underground primary circuit. Pole size three single phase transformers are employed for overhead services
  • Certain distribution transformers may also offer network services. You can mount them in underground vault and in this type of transformer power is offered through cables installed underneath.
  • Excellent capacity for bearing loads.

What are the applications and uses of distribution transformers?

Distribution transformers are used in the following:

  • Data processing equipment
  • Telecommunications
  • Within electronic equipment and sensitive equipment
  • Tool machines
  • Photocopying machines
  • Lighting plants and safety alarms
  • Test control
  • Measuring systems
  • Radar systems

Distribution transformers provide voltage transformation in the system of electric power distribution. The invention of an efficient transformer has made AC power distribution easy and feasible. In case, distribution lines are placed at ground level, distribution transformers are locked up in steel cases and placed on concrete pads. Such transformers are energised for 24 hours, and iron losses are reduced, which has a crucial role to play in designing.

How is distribution transformers classified?

Distribution transformers are basically classified into several categories and depend on following factors:

  • Location of mounting-pad, pole
  • Voltage Class
  • The type of insulation either dry-type pr liquid immersed
  • Number of phases-either single or three phases
  • BIL or Basic Impulse Insulation Level.

You can buy distribution transformers for residential and commercial complex. They are best suitable for power collector wind farms, and can be purchased from the manufacturer at market-competitive rates.
