Reducing Energy Consumption Through Energy Efficient Transformers For Steel Industry By: MikeD | - This article focuses on one way which is widely ignored as a cost effective method to reduce energy consumption in the industry, namely, the use of energy efficient transformers. Due to its unique production methodology, the steel industry often requires customized transformers.
Pacific Crest Transformers has been manufacturing all types of customized transformers for the steel industry for nearly a century now. With its extensive domain expertise, Pacific Crest Transformers has th ... Tags:Energy Efficient Transformers, industrial transformer
Transformer Oil Maintenance By: MikeD | - Even though energy transformers typically deal with hazardous levels of electricity, they are often located in or near fairly public places. Their safety is thus a matter of much concern. For this reason, requirements for electrical transformers and employees working with them are included in NFPA 70 and 70E.
All electrical wiring and equipment has to be in accordance with NFPA 70. With electricity being hazardous, employees working with transformers are also subject to protection i ... Tags:liquid filled transformers, padmount transformers, Substation

Coping With Increasing Energy Demands In The Us By: MikeD | - According to Red Herring Inc., energy demands in the US are likely to surge by 32% in 2015. But even after being one of the highest energy consuming economies in the world, the US has come full circle. It is now one of the more aggressive nations in promoting alternative energy technologies.
Growing environmental concerns like Global Warming and the need for energy self-sufficiency has introduced in the minds of many US citizens a need to be more energy-efficient. The last few years ... Tags:transformers, padmount transformers, substations
The conversion of wind energy to electrical power is one of the worlds fastest growing industries. In the US alone, wind power capacity has grown by a sizable average of 29% a year for last five years; wind power now contributes a little over 1% of the total US energy requirement. Giant sprawling wind farms will soon step off the trade magazine spreads and become a common sight.
The US has one of the largest mining industries in the world - an industry closely linked with the economy. In the past, the discovery of resources such as gold and oil resulted in a major population shift and rapid growth for formerly remote regions of the country, such as California, Texas, and Alaska.
Extraction of these resources, and finding new deposits, continues to provide the foundation for local economies in some regions.
The U.S. petrochemical industry is the third largest in the world and a significant contributor to the countrys GDP. The US Petrochemicals Industry is also an indispensable part of the manufacturing and consumer sectors, churning out products such as fiberglass, tires, paint, plastic, rubber, detergents, dyes, fertilizers, textiles, solvents, and more.
Since the earliest of times, wind power has been captured with sails to allow traders,merchants and explorers to ply their trades and discover the world around them.
On land, windmills have been used for irrigation, grinding grains, and performing crude manufacturing for centuries. Even the generation of electricity from wind power is not a new idea. What is new, however, is the scal ... Tags:transformers, substation, padmount
As fuel costs rise and power outages become more prevalent around the country, the power generation and distribution system in the US has come into sharp focus. So too has the need to conserve energy and the need to invest in energy-efficient products of all types. Of particular interest are products like power transformers that remain energized and consume energy 24 hours a day.
The transformer is a critical component of the energy grid. If even a single transformer shuts do ... Tags:liquid filled transformers, transformers
Grounding Transformers By: MikeD | - Grounding is clearly one of the most important aspects of electrical design, but it steadfastly continues to be misinterpreted and misunderstood. Millions of dollars in liability and loss can be attributed to ground-fault arcing; thus, grounding-related issues should top the checklists of any electrical contractor.
Grounding Transformers:
Simply put, a grounding transformer is used to provide a ground path to either an ungrounded "Y" or a delta connected system. Grounding transforme ... Tags:Grounding Transformers, electrical design, transformer design, distribution transformer design
The Differences Between Grounding Transformers And Distribution Transformers By: MikeD | - Grounding transformers (GT) differ from "standard distribution transformers" (DT) because they are used to establish a return path for ground fault currents on a system which is otherwise isolated or effectively un-grounded. This differentiates the construction in a couple of ways.
How To Choose A Transformer By: MikeD | - When choosing a transformer, there are two primary concerns: the load and the application. Several factors must be evaluated carefully while making the choice, to ensure that the needs of both primary concerns are met.
To use a clich, it is typically a no-brainer to choose smaller transformers. A unit with a kVA rating that is larger from the anticipated load can quickly be picked up. But if you are selecting a large unit for an electrical utility system, to be part of ...
