Where is a power transformer used?

Power transformers are used in various locations within the electrical power system, where they perform essential roles in transmitting and distributing electricity. Here are the primary places where power transformers are used:

1. Power Generation Plants:

• Step-Up Transformers: At power generation facilities (such as coal, gas, hydroelectric, nuclear, and renewable energy plants), step-up transformers are used to increase the voltage of the electricity generated. This high voltage is necessary for efficient transmission over long distances to reduce energy losses.

2. Transmission Substations:

• Transmission Transformers: These are used in transmission substations to connect different transmission networks or to step down the high voltage from power plants to lower voltages suitable for regional distribution. They can also interconnect different sections of the high-voltage transmission grid.

3. Distribution Substations:

• Step-Down Transformers: These transformers are located at distribution substations, where they step down the high-voltage electricity from the transmission lines to medium or low voltage levels. This lower voltage is suitable for distribution to residential, commercial, and industrial areas.

4. Industrial Facilities:

• Industrial Transformers: Large industrial plants often require specific voltage levels for their machinery and processes. Step-down transformers within these facilities reduce the voltage to the appropriate level for industrial use. In some cases, industrial facilities may also have step-up transformers if they generate their own power on-site.
