Power transformers are used to transfer electrical energy between the generator and the power grid, and finally to the distribution network. They are typically stepping up or stepping down voltage levels to ensure efficient transmission and distribution of electricity. The transformers play a key role in power systems by ensuring that electricity is delivered at the appropriate voltage.
Insulation paper in power transformers is essential for preventing electrical short circuits and ensuring safe operation. It provides electrical insulation allowing the transformer to handle high voltages. The insulation paper ensures the long-term reliability and performance of the transformer.
