  2. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Closer to the customer, a distribution transformer steps the primary distribution power down to a low-voltage secondary circuit, usually 120/240 V in the US for residential customers. The power comes to the customer via a service drop and an electricity meter. The final circuit in an urban system may be less than 15 metres (50 ft) but may be ...

  3. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    The primary may be connected phase to ground or phase to phase. The secondary is usually grounded on one terminal. There are three primary types of voltage transformers (VT): electromagnetic, capacitor, and optical. The electromagnetic voltage transformer is a wire-wound transformer.

  4. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

    Phase-to-phase transformer in Britain Primary line on the right toward the front and secondary lines in the back of this single-phase transformer. Both pole-mounted and pad-mounted transformers convert the overhead or underground distribution lines' high 'primary' voltage to the lower 'secondary' or 'utilization' voltage inside the building.

  5. Current transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_transformer

    Capacitive coupling between primary and secondary; Resistance of primary and secondary; Core magnetizing current; Accuracy classes for various types of measurement and at standard loads in the secondary circuit (burdens) are defined in IEC 61869-1 as classes 0.1, 0.2s, 0.2, 0.5, 0.5s, 1 and 3.

  6. Primary battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_battery

    A variety of standard sizes of primary cells. From left: 4.5V multicell battery, D, C, AA, AAA, AAAA, A23, 9V multicell battery, (top) LR44, (bottom) CR2032 A primary battery or primary cell is a battery (a galvanic cell) that is designed to be used once and discarded, and it is not rechargeable unlike a secondary cell (rechargeable battery).

  7. Spot network substation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_Network_Substation

    A fault on the secondary side may cause damage to the transformers before the primary-side protection system detects and clears the fault. [2] A spot network is basically a secondary network condensed to a point. Several transformers have multiple supplies and their secondaries are bussed together.

  8. Low-voltage network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-voltage_network

    A pole-mounted three-phase distribution transformer. Low-voltage feeders distributing power to households are placed below the transformer. A low-voltage network or secondary network is a part of electric power distribution which carries electric energy from distribution transformers to electricity meters of end customers.

  9. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    It can be shown that voltages, currents, and impedances in a per-unit system will have the same values whether they are referred to primary or secondary of a transformer. [1]: 85 For instance, for voltage, we can prove that the per unit voltages of two sides of the transformer, side 1 and side 2, are the same.
