In this content, you will discover when you need to have a transformer in your operation.

You've certainly heard of transformers. Almost imperceptible in daily life, but essential for conducting electrical energy, they are devices whose function is to regulate voltages (Volts or Amperes), being able to lower or raise them.

When is a transformer necessary?

Whenever there is a need for increased power, voltage balancing in the grid, and/or electromagnetic isolation, among others.

Transformers are present in power generation plants, industries, businesses, hospitals, and so on.

A situation that makes it clear Function of this equipment This is when, in power generation, there is the process of raising the voltage and balancing it until the distribution to end consumers.

Thus, transformers not only allow for adapting equipment and machinery to your needs, but also ensure proper functioning and durability.

But what's the right transformer for my needs?

There are several factors that allow a transformer to be qualified, ranging from oil or dry to the number of phases and load.

Check out the transformer types below:

Distribution Transformer (Hospitals, Industries, and Commercial Buildings)

As the name already states, it is used in power distribution centers, performing the distribution to different consumers with distinct voltage needs. 

•         Encapsulated and insulated dry transformer;
•         Isolation transformer and Autotransformer;
•         Liquid-immersed transformer.

Power Transformers (Industrial Furnaces, Substations, and Hydroelectric Plants)

It is found in electric power generation or in equipment that requires high electrical power.

•         Double-wound transformer;
•         Transformer with tertiary winding
•         Transformer with Linear and Nonlinear Load (K-Factor)
