TRANSFORMER

[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone. I am excited to present to you our company's transformers, and some of the many uses they provide in the marine industry. I will be taking you on a journey of exploration to explain more about how these transformers can help us in this field. So, without further ado, let's get started..

[Audio] A transformer is a device utilizing the concept of mutual inductance between two or more inductively coupled coils to convert the energy of an alternating voltage source into an alternating current. The primary winding is powered by the voltage source and the secondary winding is linked to the load. An alternating magnetic flux is generated, which is linked to the primary and secondary coils, inducing an electromotive force which drives the current through the load connected to the secondary winding. This is the fundamental operational principle of the transformer..

[Audio] Transformers play an important role in guaranteeing the smooth running of marine vessels by reducing the voltage from the ship's main power supply to the levels needed for the onboard systems, as well as converting the high voltage output from ship generators to the lower voltage required for propulsion motors. This way, ships can sail safely and without any issues, regardless of the location..

[Audio] Transformers play a crucial role in power supply systems, adjusting voltage and current for battery charging systems, emergency power supplies and electrical isolation. When used on marine vessels, these components must be specially engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity and vibration. Without them, many of the control, sensing and reporting systems that are so important today would not be possible..

[Audio] Distribution Transformers are crucial elements on ships, offering power for several purposes. This discussion examines the kinds used and their respective functions. Distribution transformers are three phase transformers which reduce electricity from 440 to 230 volts. These are usually employed for basic services, forward space services, and emergency services. For the basic service, two 75kVA transformers are employed, while a sole 15kVA transformer is utilized for the forward space service and two 75KVA transformers are employed for the emergency service..

[Audio] The Ignition Transformer EBI is a core component of the ignition burner, delivering dependable ignition for gas and oil burners utilized in sea going ships, containers ships and chemical tankers. Constructed using the most up-to-date technology, the transformer is equipped with improved safety features and an effective ignition mechanism, making it an ideal option for any of these applications..

[Audio] Instrument transformers are integral to maritime electrical systems. Current transformers (CTs) and potential transformers (PTs) enable metering, monitoring, protection, and control. CTs measure and monitor the current flow in high-voltage circuits, while PTs measure and monitor voltage levels. Instrument transformers provide accurate measurements, protection, and isolation between high voltage main circuits and low voltage secondary circuits, thus contributing to greater safety and reducing the risk of electrical interference..

[Audio] A current transformer (CT) is a device that reduces the current of a power system to a level that can be measured by a smaller ammeter. This allows for an efficient and accurate assessment of the system's performance. The CT is an integral component in power systems and its use ensures the safety of the users..

[Audio] Potential transformers are a valuable tool used to reduce voltage in power systems and create a more suitable environment for its measurement using a lower rated voltmeter, typically limited to 110-120 V. This provides a means for more precise and safe measurement as opposed to using the higher voltage without a transformer..

[Audio] Control transformers are essential components in marine electrical systems, as they offer low voltage power to control circuits that control electrical devices such as motors, generators, and transformers. This separation from high voltage primary circuits offers protection and reduces the possibility of electrical interference. To guarantee that naval electrical systems perform correctly and safely, control transformers are indispensable..
