What are Isolation Transformers?
An isolation transformer is a stationary device with isolated primary and secondary windings that keeps the two circuits separate physically and electrically. It transmits electrical energy between circuits by incorporating the magnetic induction mechanism, which uses a magnetic field to generate EMF in another circuit without affecting the frequency. Isolation transformers are used in transmission and distribution networks to step up and down voltage levels. The voltage and current capacities on both coils of an isolation transformer are equal.
How does an isolation transformer protect you?
One of an isolation transformer’s essential purpose is to eliminate voltage spikes in supply lines. The voltage spikes convey high voltages that can cause service interruptions or damaged equipment if they reach the load. The voltage spikes can be reduced before reaching the load by connecting an isolation transformer between the power supply lines. Another essential feature of an isolation transformer is that it can allow load equipment or the secondary side from being grounded. As a result, load ground loop interference and noise effects are attenuated.
Benefits of Isolation Transformers
Isolation Transformers are extensively used due to the following benefits. They:
- Can change voltages to match the load needs if different than the source voltage.
- Protect different kinds of electrical appliances by reducing power surges
- Block interference caused by ground loops and reduce noise
- Can reduce earth leakage in equipment used in wet locations
- Provide stable performance, low energy consumption, and high working efficiency
- Prevent electronic devices from polluting the power grid
Features of Isolation Transformers
Isolated transformers and normal transformers employ the same working principle, i.e., electromagnetic induction. The transformer illustrated in the image below shows primary and secondary windings with an additional Faraday Shield. The Faraday Shield gives a low impedance path to ground to reduce the coupling of common-mode noise.
Applications of Isolation Transformers
Isolation Transformers can generally be used in
- Critical Power – UPS / Battery Charging / Energy Management
- Renewables – Wind / Solar / Energy Storage
- Pulse circuits
- Medical equipment
- Devices that are not at ground potential
- Electronics testing and servicing
- Computer network configuration
- Laboratory instruments
- Motor Drives
- Radars
- Grids
- Telecommunications
How to Choose an Isolation Transformer
When choosing an isolation transformer, one must keep its desired outcome and usage in mind. Based on the applications, one can easily choose the right isolation transformer to meet one’s requirements among the following types:
- Due to their simple structure and small size, single-phase transformers are suitable for low-voltage distribution networks with small load density. In residential areas, using such transformers is more feasible.
- Harmonic mitigation transformers are appropriate for installations with many harmonic loads, such as educational institutes, government, commercial, medical, and call-center applications, all of which require the consistent operation of computers, printers, and communication equipment.
- Drive isolation transformers are used to isolate AC or DC motor circuits from the input voltage system. They can also be employed in industrial heating.
- K-factor transformers are designed to function in high harmonic loads such as computer rooms and other areas with high levels of non-linear loads.
- Power generation and electrical distribution network applications both utilize three-phase transformers extensively. They can be found in high-power industrial loads such as rectifiers and motor drives.
