Question

Distribution Transformers:

1. Have good voltage regulation

2. Are designed for small value of current

Which of these is / are CORRECT?

1. Only 2
2. Both 1 and 2
3. Only 1
4. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Only 1

Distribution Transformers:

• These transformers have a variable load which is usually considerably less than the full-load rating. Therefore, these are designed to have their maximum efficiency at between 1/2 and 3/4 of full-load.
• The voltage regulation of the Distribution transformer is about 2.5% which consider a good voltage regulation.
• A distribution transformer is a transformer that provides the final voltage transformation in the electric power distribution system
• These are used to stepping down the voltage used in the distribution lines to the level used by the end customer
• Distribution transformers have a rating of up to 200 kVA
• Power transformers are used in transmission network of voltages 200 MVA
