It depends on the type of transformer:transmission/distribution transformers step up or step down system voltagesisolation transformers electrically isolate two systems without affecting their voltagesmatching transformers are used in electronic circuits for impedance matchinginstrument transformers step down voltages (voltage transformers) or currents (current transformers) for measurement or protection applications
When you see "Delta" it is a kind of winding used in transformers or motors Think of a triangle. Each leg of the triangle is a winding. Power is connected to each of the three points of the triangle.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
You cannot connect transformers of different voltage in parallel. This is because circulating currents will be set up between the two transformers that may exceed their rated currents.
Transformers use transformer oil as an insulator and to conduct the heat away from the windings. The oil usually flows through a radiator in a closed circuit on high-power transformers.
This type of transformer is called a Step-Down transformer. All transformers have an input to output ratio. The transformers that increase voltage are called Step-up, and the transformers that protect against surges are called unity gain. The Unity gain transformer has a 1:1 ratio and provide a mechanical way to isolate a source of voltage from a load.
