A control transformer is a transformer that steps down the voltage in order to supply electricity to a machine’s or circuit’s control devices. Technicians operating on the equipment are significantly safer thanks to the lower voltage.
A control transformer is made to deliver the recommended output voltage at maximum VA. The output voltage rises as the load falls. On the other hand, higher loads will lead to lower output voltages. Usually, the difference between no-load and full-load voltage is greater the smaller the unit’s VA size.
Transformers used in control circuits that are protected by a primary fuse, impedance limiting devices, or other built-in mechanisms. The transformer must be housed inside the motor controller and be an essential component of the controller. One secondary side of a control transformer may be grounded.
A control system that has a grounded secondary in the control transformer is referred to as a grounded system. It is simple to test the system with a voltmeter when one side of the transformer is grounded.
The global Control Transformers market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The ABB Ability Power Transformer will be the first integrated solution for digitally enabled power transformers in the world, significantly altering the transformer paradigm when it is introduced at the Hanover Fair in Germany.
Soon, all power transformers leaving ABB facilities will have digital capabilities, allowing for remote monitoring and real-time data analyses of their critical characteristics. This will improve dependability and allow for greater grid asset and power network use.
A digital hub that can utilise a variety of smart gadgets on a modular platform with plug-and-play capabilities will be included with the transformer. The system is future-proof thanks to its versatility and scalability, which also gives users total control over their digital experience.
“ABB Ability Power Transformer is a game-changing solution. The whole ecosystem of software solutions and services, including the market-leading ABB Ability Ellipse Asset Performance Management System, will be accessible to users in addition to providing actionable intelligence at the local level, according to the president of ABB’s Power Grids division.
“The new digital capabilities will increase reliability and mitigate outages through proactive action, in addition to improving efficiency and product life.”
