Domestic Tap Changer Boosts Efficiency of Transformers

A knowledge-based company has produced an efficient tap changer that reduces the risk of mechanical failures and explosions in power transformers.
The domestic firm, active in developing advanced technologies in the electricity industry, has produced a device superior to its foreign counterparts by improving the technology of this essential part used in transformers, according to the CEO of the Urmia Advanced Transformer Systems Company.
“One of the company's products is the tap changer or the electrical voltage changing device in transformers,” Kheirollah Hadidi was also quoted as saying by the news portal of Vice Presidency for Science and Technology.
The transformer is one of the main components of power systems and its main task is to change the voltage level. It operates on the mutual induction principle and only on an AC power supply. Since there are no rotations or moving parts in the device, transformers belong to the group of static devices.
