A transformer is not 'necessary'. The human race evolved, and developed

cultures, societies, disease resistance, and technology, without ever

seeing a transformer.

But there are specific situations in which desirable things can be accomplished

much more effectively and efficiently with a transformer than with any other

device or method. Here are a couple of examples:

-- If the voltage you have available is not the voltage you need, then you can

use a transformer to make the change. (But that only works for AC.)

-- You can use a transformer to change the output impedance of an amplifier

to the impedance of the speaker or earbuds you want to use with it.

Is the star-delta transformer commissioned without earthing transformer or NGR?

Yes, possible. NGR or earthing transformers are used when it is necessary to limit the fault current.


Is transformer is essential for rectifier?

no transformer is not necessary for rectification today most of power supplies have been made without using transformer in order to reduce weight and size of power supply.for example SMPS(switch mode poqwer supply)


What is exciting current in transformer?

Excitation current is the current necessary to "turn on" the transformer so it can be used. It's energy that is lost in the use of the transformer. Most of this loss I believe is associated with the hysterisis loop, although some will be lost as eddy currents.


Why mentions the nameplat of transformer in vector group?

A transformer's 'nameplate' lists all the data necessary to identify the rating, connections, etc., of a transformer. Part of this data is the 'vector group' information which applies to three-phase transformers, and which, in simple terms, tells us whether or not the transformer can be connected in parallel with another.


Is it necessary to filter new transformer oil?

Probably not. Transformer oil is generally highly purified mineral oil, so unless you're getting it from shady sources, you should be fine.

because it is necessary to provide an over load protection ,surge protection,etc....hence an transformer is used...( particularly isolated transformers)


What is purpose of demagnetizing test during current transformer test?

The residual magnetisation present in the current transformer coils may cause the errors during measurement of high currents. So that it is necessary to check that.
