What is difference between core type and shell type transformer?

Core type transformer uses concentric cylindrical winding whereas the shell type transformer uses sandwiched winding. It is also noted that in a core type transformer, winding surrounds the core whereas, in a shell type transformer, the core surrounds the winding.

What are the advantages of shell type transformer over core type transformers?

Some of the main advantages of shell form transformers are, they are more compact than core form transformers, and have a great mechanical strength. Having great mechanical strength comes in to advantage here because, in an overcurrent situation, the transformer is less prone to being damaged.

What is zero sequence impedance in a transformer?

A: The simplified answer without going into a lengthy technical discussion of symmetrical components is: Zero sequence impedance is the impedance offered by the system to the flow of zero sequence current. The zero sequence reactance of transformers depends on the construction of the core and winding connections.

What is the value of the zero sequence impedance?

Z0 = 0 : Value of zero sequence impedance in line to line faults.

Why is a shell type three phase transformer better than a core type?

Core type transformer has a low power efficiency due to less output power and high leakage flux. Shell-type transformer has high power efficiency due to high output power and low leakage flux.

What is shell transformer?

The shell type transformer is a simple rectangular form and the core surrounds the considerable portion of the windings which is shown in fig. Both the primary & secondary windings are placed in the one limb. And the coils are wound in from of multi-layer disc type.

What is meant by sequence impedance?

The sequence impedance of the circuit tells about the behavior of the system during any type of asymmetrical fault condition i.e line to line fault or line to ground fault or line to line to line to ground (L-L-L-G) fault. The Sequence Impedance is generally used to simplifies the asymmetrical fault calculations.
