    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABB

    ABB Group [6] is a Swedish-Swiss [7] [8] [9] multinational electrical engineering corporation. Incorporated in Switzerland as ABB Ltd., and headquartered in Zurich, [1] it is dual-listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange in Zurich and the Nasdaq Nordic exchange in Stockholm, Sweden, in addition to OTC Markets Group's pink sheets in the United States.

    The transformer business unit was sold to ABB in 1989. This site now houses a product design company. Adams County plant: Westinghouse was fined $5.5 million in 1996 for polluting groundwater in over 100 wells, as well as other water sources, while operating its Westinghouse Elevator Company plant in Adams County, Pennsylvania .

  4. Ring main unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_main_unit

    It includes in one unit two switches that can connect the load to either or both main conductors, and a fusible switch or circuit breaker and switch that feed a distribution transformer. [1] The metal enclosed unit connects to the transformer either through a bus throat of standardized dimensions, or else through cables and is usually installed ...

  5. Voltage transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_transformer

    A capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), is a transformer used in power systems to step down extra high voltage signals and provide a low voltage signal to the actual VT (voltage transformer) used for operating metering/protective relays due to a lower cost than an electromagnetic PT. The circuit diagram for a simple capacitor voltage transformer

  6. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

    Transformers designed for below-grade installation can be designed for periodic submersion in water. [14] Distribution transformers may include an off-load tap changer, which slightly adjusts the ratio between primary and secondary voltage to bring the customer's voltage within the desired range on long or heavily loaded lines. [citation needed]

  7. Scott-T transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott-T_transformer

    A Scott-T transformer or Scott connection is a type of circuit used to produce two-phase electric power (2 φ, 90 degree phase rotation) [1] from a three-phase (3 φ, 120 degree phase rotation) source, or vice versa. The Scott connection evenly distributes a balanced load between the phases of the source.

  8. Transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

    In electrical engineering, a transformer is a passive component that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit, or multiple circuits.A varying current in any coil of the transformer produces a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core, which induces a varying electromotive force (EMF) across any other coils wound around the same core.

  9. Parametric transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_transformer

    The Parametric transformer (or paraformer) is a particular type of transformer. It transfers the power from primary to secondary Windings not by mutual inductance coupling but by a variation of a parameter in its magnetic circuit. First described by Wanlass, et al., 1968. Assuming Faraday's law of induction,
