Two important facets

If you need a high quality, excellent and durable load tap-changing transformers, we can readily provide you with one, fast and efficiently. We make it a point for our customers to get only the best products from us, and we also deliver fast service. These two facets have helped point to us the right direction to take in running our business, and we have benefited a lot from them. Take for example our transformers. Everything about them from conception up to production is well planned. Our excellent team of engineers has been working together to ensure that all our products will perform better than your expectations.

Stabilizing role

Load tap-changing transformers are usually used to stabilize voltage supply and their reactive power control sets the voltage supply. It has the capacity to control the voltage being used in the system to a certain limit. In other words: it can be used to help regulate voltage. This type of transformer has several tapping located outside the transformer which are connected to the different sets of windings located inside it. The tapping represent different ...
... voltages; connect them according to your voltage requirement.

The role of taps

They are used in power transformers to help in regulating the voltage output and maintain at a certain specified level. By changing the tap connections, the desired voltage is attained. The presence of several tapping will help a lot in controlling the voltage supply according to the tapping used. While the load tap-changing transformers contain several windings, auto-transformers only have one winding shared by its primary and secondary windings. We also custom design and manufacture this type of transformer for your power needs. We have a vast and long experience in producing this type of transformer and you can benefit from it by having a reliable and durable transformer of these kinds.

Auto-transformer vs Conventional

Conventional transformers utilize two winding phases, auto-transformers don’t. This means that there’s less copper metals used in the latter compared to the former which generally leads to lower impedance power. You can expect short circuits to be more severe under fault conditions. And the higher voltage circuit tends to influence the lower voltage circuits. We made some adjustments to our transformers to keep the lower voltage circuit protected from the influence of the high voltage circuit. And the connection between primary and secondary has to be the same.

Cheaper to use

Auto-transformers are ideally used to interconnect systems using different voltages; it’s cheaper this way than using other types of transformers. This is one very useful aspect of this type of transformer. Transformers are a necessary part of electrical circuits and they can do a lot to protect and enhance the power supply. Without the transformers, short circuits will be the natural order of the day. There’ll be a lot of equipment damage including appliances and hospital instruments among many others. That’s why we always make it a point to build nothing but highly reliable and dependable transformers.
