An Introduction to Installation, Testing and Troubleshooting of Transformers
1 Introduction
There are a number of standards that define the functional and testing requirements for power and distribution transformers. For example some of the main standards available for transformers are IEC-60076 Power Transformer, BS 7821-4 parts: three-phase oil-immersed distribution transformers, 50 Hz, from 50 to 2500 kVA with highest voltage for equipment not exceeding 36 kV. BS 7844-2 parts: three-phase dry-type distribution transformers 50 Hz, from 100 to 2500 kVA with highest voltage for equipment not exceeding 36 kV, IS 2026: Power Transformers.
This manual will specify the requirements and procedure of ‘Testing of Transformers’ for Power Transformer (including auto Transformer) and will not cover small and special purpose transformers. This article mainly indicates the acceptance criterion for a transformer before putting a transformer for a particular service application, mainly relating to the testing of transformers at manufacturer’s works or in an approved laboratory. This is done to ensure that they meet the specific needs of an application.

Design: What airless tires show engineers about a material switch
Jan 21, 2022
Airless tires are not new, but their most recent application suggestions give insight into the importance of perfecting the design. Tires are used constantly, but the simple idea of creating a round fixture on moving objects that is less likely to explode is just one of the reasons airless tires came around. Unlike other airless options like PermaTubes in bicycles, the airless tires of this decade are keenly designed to not be a singular unit, but an engineering design optimization exercise.

Changes engineers can make right now to reach sustainability goals
Jan 11, 2022
Through the development, application, promotion and communication of environmentally sustainable engineering practices and technologies, there is cause to mitigate engineering practices to always fall in line with practices for the improvement of climate change. November 2021 marked the COP26 summit where world leaders scratched heads to find effective solutions to climate change and sustainability. Within the engineering sphere, there’s already action to change the way sustainability is approached from the perspective of engineers – and education is also changing to create sustainability savvy engineers.
