Transformer Serial Number Lookup

[Elwanda Menhennett]

ThekVA rating denotes the size of the transformer and indicates the load that the transformer is designed to serve. This rating is the most important factor in determining the proper transformer size for the equipment it will serve.

Some transformers will come with adjustment taps above and below the nominal rated primary voltage. These taps make small allowances for a higher or lower incoming voltage from the utility, in order to ensure the output voltage remains the same as the rated nameplate value.

This rating indicates the frequency at which the transformer operates, usually specified in Hertz (Hz). Standard frequencies include 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Virtually all transformers in the US will be rated at 60 Hz.

The winding diagram details the internal connections of the coils for both windings. This sketch shows the markings of the leads for the high and low voltage terminals as shown below (H1, H2, and H3 for the high voltage; X1, X2, X3, and X0 for the low voltage).

The wiring diagram also indicates whether the transformer is a loop feed or radial feed transformer. A loop feed transformer has a bushing configuration specifically designed for a loop distribution system, although it can also be used in other systems. A loop feed transformer will be labeled like this with six different primary bushings (H1A, H1B, H2A, H2B, H3A, and H3B):

The temperature rise value on a nameplate indicates the average temperature of the windings (above ambient temperature) when the transformer is at full load (max kVA). This rating is expressed in degrees C. The most common temperature rise ratings in oil filled transformers are 65C, 55C, and 75C.

The model number is a generic identifier that denotes a certain type of design (typically pre-engineered). Some transformers may have model numbers, but many are custom-built to customer specs. Where applicable, it can provide a quick and easy way to order certain transformer designs. The model number can be used to order replacement parts or to find technical information about the transformer.

Many customers are served from an underground electric system. In commercial or residential underground developments, it is a common practice to install electric cables, telephone cables, and CATV cables in close proximity. These underground facilities can be exposed and/or damaged due to cave-ins, uprooted trees, etc.

Transformers in these areas are found in two types - underground and pad-mount. The underground types are installed below ground level. The pad-mount types are installed on a base (pad) so that the transformer sits on ground level. The pad-mount types have all the cables and connections locked inside their built-in metal cabinets to make completely sealed units. Never touch, climb or play on pad-mounted transformers. Never put fingers, sticks or other objects through cracks in the transformer. Never dig near a pad-mounted transformer. They are surrounded by underground cables. Hitting the cable could result in electrical shock or disruption of service. Always call 811 before you dig. Call 911 immediately for any emergency involving these transformers. Any emergency involving these transformers must be reported to us immediately.

Every pole is identified with a number. This number is located on the side of the pole that faces the street approximately six feet above the ground. If the number is missing, check the adjacent pole and use it as a reference point.

Properly selecting and locating trees around power lines is important - not only for safety, but for reliable electric service, too. Trees that grow up into and around power lines require extensive trimming to prevent power outages during storms. Also, children climbing such trees could come in contact with power lines - a very dangerous situation.

I find it hard to distinguish the part number from the series code when judging the marking on the back of a component in general,if I never heard about that component name before and if there is a mix of letters and numbers which represent different things.

Since this power supply works down to 100 VAC input, and it is too small to probably have PFC, it is probably intended to produce a bit more than 5 V square wave out with a 140 V at maybe 200 kHz square wave in.

Transformers are proportional, so you can feed it a much lower square wave as input and see what comes out. The winding with the highest DC resistance will be the primary. Put whatever your function generator can do at maybe 200 kHz in, and see what comes out of the other windings.

You're not going to find a datasheet, since this is probably a custom transformer made to whatever spec saves the most pennies for this mass-produced power supply. When you buy 1M transformers a year in lots of 100k, you can get exactly what you want at very low prices, especially when cost is the overriding concern, and quality only means it doesn't catch fire or die within a year.

That's a typical flyback transformer as used in this kind of product. I note that the product itself lacks any kind of visible safety approval markings, so there is a good chance the transformer itself is sub-standard and therefore potentially dangerous to life and property. Typical places where they would cut corners would be the use of insufficient internal creepage (the primary often sandwiches the secondaries so galvanic isolation is really important) and sub-standard materials such as the use of regular cheap magnet wire where better stuff should be used. Unlisted tape and such like may not be directly dangerous but it's not guaranteed to be safe enough for first-world markets.

In answer to your question- it's undoubtedly custom made for the circuit they are using. If you look up the chip number (assuming they are using a chip such as Power Integrations rather than some self-oscillating junk) you may be able to get a rough idea of what it is.

If it's not burned out, you should be able to measure the primary inductance. It's almost surely a flyback transformer so it will be gapped (have the ferrite machined away- usually in the center post but sometimes in all 3 legs- or with a spacer adhesive to provide an air gap) to allow a higher saturation current. The secondary inductances will give you an idea of the turns ratios (square root of the inductance ratios) and you can guesstimate the wire gauges from the part that's wrapped around the pins. It's hard to get an idea of the exact number of turns non-destructively since the Al of the material with air gap is not known, but nothing a big hammer and box cutter won't solve.

Usually, as shown, there's a high-voltage primary, a low-voltage secondary and an auxiliary power winding for the high-voltage side. The safety-critical isolation barrier (as far as the transformer is concerned) is between the secondary and both of the other windings, which are effectively connected to the mains. If you swap aux and secondary windings it may be more unsafe than it already is.

Hi, Im trying to make a Transformer model to effectivley act as a lookup table for a dataset. Would anyone here be able to point me in the direction of a guide that would allow me to make a transformer model of that kind. And furthermore, if I were to go and use hugging face for it would I be able to store the model on my computer and proceed to use it independently of hugging face.

Please have your serial number, job number, equipment rating, and contact information handy. If you need to leave a message, please include as much of this information as possible so we can serve you more quickly.

Serial numbers are located on the equipment nameplate. You may also locate the serial number in the title block of the system schematics or on the front page of your user manual. The serial number for a rectifier transformer can be found on a metal plate affixed to the top of the transformer. Stand alone transformers will have the serial number on the nameplate and on a metal plate affixed to the top of the transformer.

The calibration procedure is dependent on the particular electronics installed in the rectifier. Contact Dynapower Support for an electronics manual specific to your unit. These documents include information on adjustments and potentiometers to be adjusted at the board level.

Hello, everyone! I'm new to FME and seeking some guidance. I have a dataset with numerous columns, and I need to check the values of specific Boolean columns. While I'm aware of using the Tester transformer, it becomes cumbersome to manually create multiple OR and IF statements for each column I want to check.

I'm wondering if there's a way to define the columns I want to check in a separate file and have a transformer read that file to use those columns for checking. This would greatly simplify my workflow and make my life much easier.

If you just want to check the values of Boolean columns, the attribute validator will allow you to select multiple columns to validate with the same statement, no need to create multiple cumbersome test statements.

In my data file, there are over 150 columns, with approximately 120 of them being boolean columns. From these boolean columns, I would like to check around 100 specific ones. Additionally, the number of columns in the file may grow as more projects are created. Although I understand that the file's structure may not be optimal, it is provided by other parties, and I have no control over its design.

Given this situation, the most straightforward approach for me is to create another file that stores the names of the boolean columns I want to check. I can then use this configuration file to efficiently check all the columns I need. Extracting the desired columns from the CSV file is not challenging since the ones I want to check are located at the end of the file.
