ABL Power System

• Definition: An electrical power transformer is a device designed to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction, primarily used to step up or step down voltage levels in power systems.  
• Function: Facilitates efficient transmission and distribution of electrical power by increasing voltage for long-distance transmission and decreasing it for safe use at consumption points.  
• Construction: Composed of primary and secondary windings wrapped around a core (usually laminated steel), with insulation to prevent short circuits and ensure safety.  
• Applications: Essential in power generation, transmission, and distribution networks, enabling the reliable and efficient delivery of electrical energy from power plants to end-users.

• Definition: An Oil-Immersed Load Tap Changer (OLTC) distribution transformer is a type of transformer equipped with a mechanism that adjusts its voltage ratio by changing tap connections, allowing for voltage regulation under load conditions.  
• Functionality: Enables on-load voltage adjustment to maintain consistent output voltage despite variations in load or input voltage, improving power quality and system stability.  
• Construction: Combines a standard oil-immersed transformer with an automatic or manual tap changer device, which operates within the transformer’s oil tank to switch between different tap positions.  
• Applications: Widely used in power distribution networks to provide voltage regulation, especially in areas with fluctuating load demands or where precise voltage control is required.

Key Features :- 

• Function: Converts high-voltage electricity from the power grid to lower voltages suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial use.
• Construction: Typically consists of a core made of laminated steel and coils of insulated copper or aluminum wire, enclosed in a protective casing.
• Types: Includes various types such as oil-filled, dry-type, and pad-mounted transformers, designed for specific applications and installation environments.
• Importance: Essential for efficient power distribution, ensuring safe and reliable delivery of electricity from transmission lines to end-users.
