  2. Isolation transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_transformer

    An isolation transformer is a transformer used to transfer electrical power from a source of alternating current (AC) power to some equipment or device while isolating the powered device from the power source, usually for safety reasons or to reduce transients and harmonics. [1]

  6. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

    The SWER line is a single conductor that may stretch for tens or even hundreds of kilometres, with a number of distribution transformers along its length. At each transformer, such as a customer's premises, current flows from the line, through the primary coil of a step-down isolation transformer, to earth through an earth stake

  7. File:Ground loop solution - isolation transformer.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ground_loop_solution...

    The transformer breaks the conductive path between the ground terminals of the components, opening the loop, preventing ground loop currents from flowing, while allowing the AC signal to pass. Unlike other solutions such as breaking the cable ground shield, the isolation transformer can be used with a "floating" component (one with no ground ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    In electrical engineering, isolated-phase bus (IPB), also known as phase-isolated bus (PIB) in some countries, is a method of construction for circuits carrying very large currents, typically between a generator and its step-up transformer in a steam or large hydroelectric power plant. Isolated phase bus during installation at the Bui Dam Ghana ...

  9. Zigzag transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigzag_transformer

    A conventional six-winding, grounding transformer or zigzag bank, [1] with the same winding and core quantity as a conventional three-phase transformer, can also be used in zigzag winding connection. In all cases the first coil on each zigzag winding core is connected contrariwise to the second coil on the next core.
