This 3D animated video discusses the three main types of transformers used in the power engineering industry, their parts and functions. All the transformer main components are discussed (core, windings, bushings etc.) as well as other pieces of equipment such as the Buchholz relay, tap changer, dehydrating breather etc.

▶️Introduction
All of the parts related to electrical transformers are discussed in this video.
Transformer Core
Thin laminate steel sheets clamped together to form a steel core. The core focuses the magnetic field.
Transformer Windings
Copper or aluminium windings allow current to flow. Current is induced in the secondary windings due to the magnetic field created by the current flowing in the primary winding.
Transformer Bushings
Used to connect the transformer windings to the external electrical circuit. Usually bushings are manufactured from Porcelain.
Transformer Tank
Used with hermetic and conservator type transformers to house the internal transformer components.
Buchholz Relay (similar to gas actuated relay)
Alarms and trips depending upon the type of fault present within the transformer and also if the insulating liquid level becomes low. Learn more:
• How Buchholz Relays Work
Radiators
Used for cooling of the transformer insulating liquid.
Magnetic Oil Gauge (MOG)
Used for measuring the insulating liquid level within the transformer conservator tank. Learn more:
• How Magnetic Oil Gauge...
Temperature Monitoring and Measurement
Used for measuring the transformer insulating liquid temperature and for controlling the cut-ins and cut-outs of pumps and fans etc. Learn more:
• How Transformer Thermo...
Silica Gel Dehydrating Breather
Used for drying of the air as it is drawn into the conservator tank. The oil cup at the base of the unit is used to filter foreign particles. Learn more:
• Video
Off and On Load Tap Changer
Used to change the number of taps on the transformer and thus the output voltage of the transformer. Learn more:

really appreciate your efforts. Hats of guys.
I am a lowly 'low volt' (120/240v 1ph; and 3ph) residential and commercial (some industrial) electrician in South Florida. This is the first time I have really read/seen/heard ANY detailed information on transformers and their design and operational characteristics. Very, very interesting, entertaining and informative. Thank you. There is a guy named Mousa Al Manasif [2 years ago, from now 01/02/2022[], who complemented and thank for this presentation - but brought up a few things where he says there were a few incorrect statements made in this video concerning: "However I noticed two things that are incorrect: 1- OLTC on load tap changes are divided to two parts a. Diverter switch ( the arcing and the interpretation of the current, have separate compartment) b. selector switch ( the part inside the TR main tank which shares the same oil of the TR) OLTC diverter switches ( are always separate from the TR main tank 2- At the end of the video OT ( oil temperature gage) the red Needle is only a memory needle to show the highest temperature recorded by the OT. When the black needle ( showing actual temperature) moves up it will move the red needle along with it but when the temperature goes down the black needle will go down the red needle will stay at the maximum temperature the OT recorded so operator can see it during there inspection". Could you comment on this. And if he was correct: Are you looking to create a revised version of this video; or add an addendum that addresses these things one way or the other? Either way, the video was superbly done.. Thank you again.

Diverter switch compartment is separate which contains its own oil. During tap changing operations (raise/lower), selector switch contact is selected first and then diverter switch contact changes its position from odd to even or vice versa and desired tap is selected.
Great! Refreshed knowledge I had 35 years ago as a fledgling 11kV Authorized Person. Might have mentioned operationally that certainly oil cooled transformers can usually accept short term overload periods considering a 24 hour duty cycle. Finally, let's hope all "Pyrochlor" PCB oil has all been safely disposed of. Beware also that toxic brew was also used in early fluorescent light ballasts that might still be lurking in our sheds.

Out of all the comments made here this is one of great importance. The use of PCB's was widespread and there is undoubtedly many transformers lurking around with this free cancer toxic soup. It was also a very good thing to mention those old magnetic fluorescent lighting ballasts with the potted black toxic tar in them. I have come across many of these in the past. It helps to be wary of the potential dangers of these to help protect yourself from them and hope others see the importance of this. Excellent comment and Thank you.
thanks for the best video ,this video is lot informative than a standard text book
Well explained and illustrated thru 3d animation,I learned a lot thru this
As a new engineer in utilities, your videos are far better than anything I've learned on the job or in my schooling. For 9.99 euros i feel like I will be stealing from you. We get emails for courses all the time and they're always like $500 usd. Doubt my work will pay me back but for 9.99 it's worth it
This is awesome! Hope you make one for the whole power system including analysis

Good video and educational. There is a minor difference in terminology with respect to what the narrator called the limbs of the xfmr, whereas in the US we called those legs.
Namaste Savree Team, this was really an awesome video. Can i know how you made this animation?
Otimo video, recomendado pelo professor ailton
This is very educational. Do any (or can) any of these components out off an odor? I live near a substation and have noticed a foul odor that almost smells like old, spent oil. It is very bad smelling and pretty overwhelming.
Perfect 👌

Great video indeed as many others have said. BUT there's only one major component that wasn't mentioned and I only know cuz I work in the utility industry. The CTs that are wrapped around the bushings. Very important piece to monitor the current flowing in and out of the transformer. And for protection.

26:39 the red needle is just a max indicator for temperature
@bass_lander
2 жыл бұрын
Correct. The red needle is also known as a drag needle which shows the highest temperature the top oil has seen. This needle can be reset to the ambient temperature. In this example, the alarm and trip values are set using the four "rings" seen below the dial. KB
Can anybody mention here about pre Commissioning test of breather and off load tap changer?
