Question

Write the safety measure precautions of a transformer from the operational point of view.

Hint:

Safety and maintenance checks keep transformers reliable and prevent costly failures.

Answer 1

Safety measures for transformer operation include:
Proper insulation: Ensure all windings are properly insulated to prevent short circuits.
Cooling system: Maintain adequate cooling (oil or air) to avoid overheating.
Earthing: Transformer body should be properly earthed to prevent electric shocks.
Overcurrent protection: Use fuses and circuit breakers to prevent damage from overload or short circuits.
Regular inspection: Check for oil leaks, corrosion, and physical damage regularly.
Safe loading: Avoid overloading beyond rated capacity to prevent failure.
