  2. Polarity (mutual inductance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(mutual_inductance)

    In electrical engineering, dot marking convention, or alphanumeric marking convention, or both, can be used to denote the same relative instantaneous polarity of two mutually inductive components such as between transformer windings. These markings may be found on transformer cases beside terminals, winding leads, nameplates, schematic and ...

  3. Polarity symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_symbols

    The symbol connected to the dot (usually the symbol found to the right) denotes the polarity of the center/tip, whereas the symbol connected to the broken circle denotes the polarity of the barrel/ring. When a device or adapter is described simply as having "positive polarity" or "negative polarity", this denotes the polarity of the center/tip.

  4. Transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

    A dot convention is often used in transformer circuit diagrams, nameplates or terminal markings to define the relative polarity of transformer windings. Positively increasing instantaneous current entering the primary winding's 'dot' end induces positive polarity voltage exiting the secondary winding's 'dot' end.

  5. Current transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_transformer

    A high-voltage current transformer may contain several cores, each with a secondary winding, for different purposes (such as metering circuits, control, or protection). [7] A neutral current transformer is used as earth fault protection to measure any fault current flowing through the neutral line from the wye neutral point of a transformer.

  6. Voltage transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_transformer

    A 120:120 instrument isolation transformer showing two polarity marking conventions. Voltage transformers (VT), also called potential transformers (PT), are a parallel-connected type of instrument transformer. They are designed to present a negligible load to the supply being measured and have an accurate voltage ratio and phase relationship to ...

  7. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    (left) Eddy currents (I, red) within a solid iron transformer core. (right) Making the core out of thin laminations parallel to the field (B, green) with insulation (C) between them reduces the eddy currents. Although the field and currents are shown in one direction, they actually reverse direction with the alternating current in the ...

  8. Vector group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_group

    Parallel operations: All the transformers should have same phase rotation, vector group, tap setting & polarity of the winding. Ground fault Relay: A Dd transformer does not have neutral. To restrict the ground faults in such systems, we may use a zigzag wound transformer to create a neutral along with the ground fault relay.

  9. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    A current transformer (CT) is a series connected measurement device designed to provide a current in its secondary coil proportional to the current flowing in its primary. Current transformers are commonly used in metering and protective relays in the electrical power industry.
