Know More About Distribution Transformers
A distribution transformer is also known as a service transformer. These are step down transformers which are used for distributing the electric supply over a variety of power supply distribution systems. They basically step down the final voltage upto around 240V and make it usable for domestic and household purposes. These distribution power lines can be transmitted on the ground level or over the poles. Accordingly, the transformers on the ground level are known as pad mount transformers. They can be on the ground level or can be even present underground. They are built on concrete pads and locked in steel cases which give them their name pad-mount transformers. Similarly, when the distribution power lines are mounted on utility poles, then these are called pole mount transformers. Types of Transformers The classification of types of transformers can be done on the basis of various categories like their location, phases, insulation type, etc. The major categorization is done on the
