What are small transformers and inductors used for in the power industry?

Small transformers and inductors are critical for voltage regulation, generator excitation control, and ensuring safe and efficient power transmission. They convert electrical energy to usable forms and support the reliable delivery of electricity across power grids, substations, and various end-user applications.

What types of small transformers are available?

Various types include single and three-phase power transformers, oil and air-cooled transformers, and dry-type cast resin transformers. They cater to different voltage and power capacity needs in the power generation and distribution sectors.

How do inductors contribute to power transmission?

Inductors regulate current flow, reduce power losses, and provide energy storage in electrical systems. They are essential for DC-DC converters, filtering circuits, and energy recovery systems within power grids, ensuring smooth and stable transmission.

What are the benefits of using custom small transformers?

Custom transformers are tailored to specific installation and operational requirements, making them ideal for specialised industrial applications. They offer advantages such as short-circuit proofing, partial discharge resistance, and enhanced efficiency in unique grid setups.

How are small transformers and inductors improving renewable energy systems?

In renewable energy systems like wind and solar, transformers and inductors play a key role in managing voltage fluctuations and ensuring stable power integration into the grid. Specialised transformers are used for photovoltaic and wind power applications to enhance system reliability.
