Buchholz Relay Working Principle

Buchholz relay transformer protection

A relay is an electrical switch that controls a high voltage circuit using a low voltage source. Effectively. A relay electrically separates a low voltage circuit from a high voltage circuit. Most relays are actuated by sensors and hence commonly used in the control system. Buchholz relay is a special device that detects faults inside …

Step-up Transformer Applications

Step-up transformer

Step-up transformer is an electric device that raises the voltage of the secondary side (winding) to the primary side (winding). A transformer is a static device that is used to step up voltage and step down the voltage. Power remains the same on the primary side and the secondary side of the transformer. As we …
