2. Isolation transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_transformer

   In electronics testing and servicing, an isolation transformer is a 1:1 (under load) power transformer used for safety. Without it, exposed live metal in a device under test is at a hazardous voltage relative to grounded objects such as a heating radiator or oscilloscope ground lead (a particular hazard with some old vacuum-tube equipment with ...

3. Buck–boost transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck–boost_transformer

   Buck–boost transformers can be used to power low voltage circuits including control, lighting circuits, or applications that require 12, 16, 24, 32 or 48 volts, consistent with the design's secondaries. The transformer is connected as an isolating transformer and the nameplate kVA rating is the transformer’s capacity. [2]

4. Short-circuit test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_test

   After reaching the rated current of the HV side, all three instruments reading (Voltmeter, Ammeter, and wattmeter readings) are recorded. The ammeter reading gives the primary equivalent of full load current I L. As the voltage applied for full load current in short circuit test on transformer is quite small compared to the rated primary ...

5. Inrush current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

   Inrush current, input surge current, or switch-on surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Alternating-current electric motors and transformers may draw several times their normal full-load current when first energized, for a few cycles of the input waveform.

6. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

   By choosing the base quantities in this manner, the transformer can be effectively removed from the circuit as described above. For example: Take a transformer that is rated at 10 kVA and 240/100 V. The secondary side has an impedance equal to 1∠0° Ω. The base impedance on the secondary side is equal to:

7. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   On the three secondary terminals, the center tap is grounded with a short strap to the transformer case. A split-phase or single-phase three-wire system is a type of single-phase electric power distribution. It is the alternating current (AC) equivalent of the original Edison Machine Works three-wire direct-current system. Its primary advantage ...
