Distribution transformers have some key applications in power systems:
Step down high transmission voltages of 33kV or 66kV down to primary distribution voltages of 11kV or 22kV.
Reduce the primary distribution voltages down to 400/230V suitable for final consumers.
The interface between various sections of the distribution system with different voltage levels.
Provide ideal voltages to supply electric railway systems.
Supply power to agricultural areas situated away from the main grid.
Cater to temporary loads on construction sites.
Overall, distribution transformers are pivotal components that enable the practical and efficient distribution of electrical power, supporting diverse sectors and ensuring access to electricity across various consumer types and geographical locations.
