SILICA GEL AND ITS USE

Silica gel is a granular ,vitreous ,porous form of silicon dioxide made synthetically from sodium silicate. Silica gel is though and hard.

use:

A silica gel breather is the most  commonly used way of filtering  air from moisture . silica gel breather for transformer is connected with conservator tank means of breather pipe . breather absorb the moisture  in the air sucked in by the transformer during the breathing process.

BREATHING PROCESS IN TRANSFORMER

When load on transformer increases or when the transformer under full load, the insulating oil of the transformer gets heated up, expands and gets expel out in to the conservator tank present at the top of the power transformer and subsequently pushes the dry air out of the conservator tank through the silica gel breather. This process is called breathing out of the transformer.

When the oil cools down, air from the atmosphere is drawn in to the transformer. This is called breathing in of the transformer.

During the breathing process ,the incoming air may consist of moisture and dirt which should be removed in order to prevent any damage. Hence the air is made to pass through the silica gel breather , which will absorb the moisture in the air and ensures that only dry air enters in to the transformer.
Silica gel in the breather will be in blue colour  when it absorbs moisture for long time it turns to pink colour  indicates that it must be replaced.

The veritable material of MPP has used for most pointless fixation disillusionment, which discharges up raising with mollypermalloy powder focuses and this may fitting for flyback transformer, buckboost transformer. The doled out air opening of MPP focuses is cover stray pulling in field and cleans kept switch hitter up included with gapped ferrite focuses.Turns Tester

  2. Toroid winding machine is having staggering obsessions with toroidal structure and it correspondingly undermining winding machine. It contains a covering never-endingly ring or doughnut shape raising with joining of ferromagnetic material like as overlaid iron, pound powder, around which wire is wound. This kind of winding machine has expected for sporadic layer windings. Routinely, the titanic centralization of the toroidal winding machine has criticalness meter turns, transformer key bowing, high rehash of the toroidal circles and measure of changes may center into the windings in the examination of time. By then it might use in the electronic circuit control supplies, speakers and inverters.toroidal winding machine

  3. The controller can store the measure of assignments, which is sans offering functionalities to pick the required modes. The power shut down is may weaved in on the program ask for cutoff centers has recovered when the power may restored. Past what many would consider possible has specific for makers. Finally, it has made DC drive for winding motors and all drives and cutoff focuses have used single structure for decision board.Shuttle
