Single - phase distribution transformers, as crucial voltage transformation and power distribution equipment in the power system, are widely used in rural power grids, low - voltage residential areas, and areas with concentrated single - phase loads.With the continuous increase in the proportion of single - phase loads in the distribution network, the failure rate of single - phase transformers has also increased. Timely identification and handling of these faults are of great significance for e

Introduce the 10 kV line to the load center. Following “small capacity, dense points, short radius”, adopt the new single - phase distribution mode, featuring notable low - voltage line loss reduction, high power quality, and reliability. By comparing the economy and reliability of single - phase vs three - phase transformers in different scenarios, this paper analyzes their applicable scope and application suggestions.Single - phase transformers are classified by distribution mode:

1 Technical Features of Single - phase TransformersFrom the operation practice of foreign distribution networks, it is known that single - phase transformers are quite widely applied. Compared with three - phase transformers, they have unique advantages, which are specifically reflected as follows:1.1 Simple StructureThis characteristic makes that, when using the same materials, for single - phase transformers with the same capacity, their no - load losses are lower than those of three - phase t

1. Safety Hazards in Substation Operation1.1Transformer FailuresTransformers are critical substation equipment and maintenance focal points. Loose/defective components often cause malfunctions, while internal damage (e.g., oil tank impurities/water/bubbles) triggers partial discharge, risking major losses during outages.1.2 Overvoltage RisksOutdoor overvoltage threatens equipment. Lightning-induced impulse currents alter transformer electromagnetic energy, and circuit breaker misoperations cause

1. Design of 20 kV Single - phase Distribution Transformer20 kV distribution systems usually adopt cable lines or mixed cable - overhead line networks, and the neutral point is mostly grounded through a small resistance. When a single - phase grounding occurs, there will be no problem that the phase voltage will rise by more than √3 times as in the case of a single - phase fault in a 10 kV system. Therefore, the single - phase distribution transformer of the 20 kV system can adopt the type

1 IntroductionTo ensure the safe operation of railways and reduce the risk of lightning damage to railway telecommunication control systems, the author has specially researched and designed a single - phase series transformer with a relatively high impulse voltage withstand level, with the model number D10 - 1.2 - 30/10. This transformer is equipped with an oil conservator and adopts a fully sealed structure (it can also be designed as a dry - type structure according to actual needs). This seri
