Nice
Back to source.. 😊not earth
Rong rong... current of unbalenced network return from loads towards exactely to the coil of transformer that generat it
It was a good video explanation about the transformer was very good
Thank you for watching our video! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed it and found it educational!
So is there a way to fix a leaking cooling fin manifolds?
This ultimately depends on where the leak is located and the type of radiator!
Guys anyone can explain does ht generator or transformer need to connect ngr
You sould not install crystal IR windows in any swichtgear They do not have a lifetime warranty. -More expensive -they do not withstand impacts and turn black over time (no security) -they have a difference of 87% of the real temperature that they are taking with the camera. -It does not have a good inspection angle.
"First of all it's important to know that the neutral is the return path for current in the system" - Yes agree. Then... "That current is looking for the least resistance path, back to earth" - What?????
"it allows that fault current to travel back to the earth". WYM "back to the earth"? The earth generating the current now?
Please make the distinction between “earth ground” vs “equipment ground”. These are two very different things that people often get confused. The neutral is the return path for current under NORMAL operation. However, during a ground fault (a phase hits the metal casing of its motor for example) the neutral DOES NOT CARRY CURRENT INTO THE EARTH. Now, I say none but in reality about .000001% might. The equipment grounding conductor (this will be a green, green/yellow or in residential bare wire) will carry current BACK TO THE SOURCE. In a newly derived system, like the video above, the secondary side of the transformer(we can assume this is going to a factory or feeding distribution lines since it has a neutral (wye transformer)) will have the neutral and equipment grounding conductor bonded. So yes the neutral and equipment bonding conductor are very similar in where they go, but serve different purposes. However, let’s this about this, EARTH GROUND. Yes the neutral and equipment grounding conductor will be bonded and EARTH GROUNDED, meaning a freaking rod (or many rods in the case of a substation) will be driven into the earth. That is earth ground. Earth ground doesn’t mean JACK for fault current. The resistance path back to source is very very low, the resistance path into the ground (relatively) is very high. No freaking fault current goes into the ground. Stop the lies.
No clue why this video got posted lol. He seems confused, the ground is intended to provide a low resistance path for current to get back to the NEUTRAL.. not "into the earth".
Thanks for the explanation. Also wanted to know why they use earth as a return path for transformer with only one phase tapped?
Nice video
My experience 20 year electrical feild My experience 3 pase transfermar winding and repairing 3 pase electrical motor jenaratar transfermar winding expart
Hi
Very well explained. Hope you can have more videos. Thanks
Absolutely no current will go to ground. Only in system faults. Current will return to its generative source.
Even during a fault, it will go THROUGH ground, and either back on a neutral through a pole ground or some other bonded point, back to the source. Current will not just magically disappear into the earth.
Good info!
Very informative. Thank you.
Good Information!

Hi sir! What kind of chrom do you use? Perkin Elmer?
We use a different local service provider.
Hi sir! Where is your company located? I’m very experienced chemistry on oil transformers and I would like to ask some questions. Regards
Hi Lucas, Southwest Electric is headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK. I would be happy to answer your questions. Please email info@swelectric.com, and we can schedule a call.
I really thank you. I’ve just sent an email.
Winding temperature device is indeed important. It displays the temperature compensated by load. This is typically the relay that cooling fans are controlled by. If temperatures exceed a predetermined level, the winding temp device will alarm and then trip the circuit breaker, clearing the transformer.
You are correct, provided the alarm is properly working. I would suggest that you have this circuit tested and confirm everything is working correctly. If you should have any further questions, please feel free to email me at ron.nicholas@swelectric.com
Transformers, robots in disguise.🙂
Great information, thank you for taking the time to create this video! 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
As a courtesy when I did substation vegetation spraying if I noted anything visually abnormal I would note what piece of equipment it was and where it was located in the sub. So that way \when I called dispatch to log me out of the sub I could let them know.
Great work! Thank you for sharing.
Weak volume
We did have a lot of background noise on this video. Thank you for watching, anyway!
I enjoyed this video sweet and very helpful 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Not to mention, the window is not made of glass. Glass does not pass IR wavelengths and the IR windows are made of a few different chemical (polymer) or crystal compositions.
This is very interesting and educational to the public, but there is one minor flaw that affects the quality of the video: audio quality. Part of this could be drastically improved by using a wireless lapelle mic instead of the camcorder's built-in mic. The camcorder mic picks up wind noise and also outside noises from equipment being used in the nearby neighborhood. Also when Mr. Stone turns away from the camera while using the built-in mic, the clarity of his voice is affected. If there's a concern about interference with a wireless mic, you can always combine silent video footage with separately recorded narration after the fact.
Thank you for taking the time to watch our video! We are just getting started with our video production here, and we appreciate the advice.
You guys hiring?
We are always hiring! You can find our open positions and upload your resume at swelectric.com/careers.
awesome video. thank you, sir.

Good sir
Please make a video of motor maintainance,testing
Thank you for the suggestion!
I saw a valve in the bottom of the radiator, what happen if someone open it by accident and leave it open for a weekend?
The majority of the oil would drain out of the transformer. The radiators have valves where they are mounted to the transformer. Shutting off these valves allows you to isolate a bank of radiators and drain just the oil in those radiators, so if you need to replace or repair one bank of radiators you don't need to drain the whole transformer. The valves you are asking about are to drain the radiator tubes.
Any valve SHOULD also have a cap or plug after it. So if the valve were to be accidentally, vibrated or purposefully opened the cap or plug would prevent the loss of fluid. Anyone qualified to do maintenance on a transformer would not leave a valve open. At the bottom of a transformer with 10 feet of head pressure and 1 PSI of nitrogen on top there is a lot of pressure that comes out that valve and aside from draining a radiator with it isolated there would be no reason to leave that valve opened.
Humming sound of the transformer is causing disturbance in listening. If possible please select any isolated transformer.
Our apologies for the poor sound quality - we suggest watching this one with captions on!
@@SouthwestElectricCo Thanks a lot for your reply. Regards.
You all must not have a problem with wildlife. Here in Tn. we use a heat shrink cover up material, everything load side of breaker. Or should I say THEY do, I'm retired as of 2020.
Hey, Thanks for making sure we have power. I'm 45 and I've been preparing for a few years now I can feel day 1 on the sub crew is on its way. The first friend I ever had went on to run sub maintenance here at nv energy.about 210 subs we will be maintaining. I made some mistake up til now. Learning all I can Getting super healthy Just so lucky i saw it.
We do a lot of work in TN (where this video was shot). It's unfortunately common to find wildlife - always a danger!
@@SouthwestElectricCo I worked at the utility co. here in Knoxville. They started covering up years ago and have years more to go. I mostly bent new ridgid conduit when we changed out the old breakers to vacuum breakers while the others did the cover up. We pulled new control wire but relay and test dept. always hooked them up. We were the bulls and they were the brains...lol
@@AmericanOne9621 I'm a retired testman. I had the pleasure to work with some very skillfull electricians. All of our electricians installed all the conduit, cable, breakers, transformers, relays, etc. My job was to ensure that the wiring was installed as per the schematic diagrams or "3" line diagrams. Also was responsible for functional testing and commissioning. God Bless our substation Electricians!
