Distribution Transformers

A distribution transformer is a type of electrical transformer that is used to step down the high-voltage power from the distribution network to a lower voltage suitable for use in homes and businesses. These transformers are typically located on utility poles or in underground vaults, and they are responsible for distributing power to individual customers.

Distribution transformers are designed to handle lower power levels than transmission transformers, and they are typically rated for voltages between 2.4 kV and 34.5 kV. They are also designed to be more efficient than transmission transformers, with efficiencies typically ranging from 95 to 98 percent.

Distribution transformers can be single-phase or three-phase, depending on the type of distribution system they are serving. They are typically filled with oil or other insulating materials to protect the internal components from damage and to improve their efficiency.

Overall, distribution transformers play a critical role in the distribution of electrical power to homes, businesses, and other customers, and they are an important part of the overall electrical grid infrastructure.
