What do the spirals on the transformer symbol represent?
This symbol represents an autotransformer whose winding is wounded around the core made of iron. The iron core increases the magnetic flux which increases the self-induction between the turns.

How many transformers are in a substation?
A transformer substation usually has one or two power transformers, distribution equipment, control and protective devices, and auxiliary equipment.
What is aircell in transformer?
The TCM Air-cell acts as a barrier to separate undesirable elements in the atmosphere, such as water vapor, nitrogen, ozone and oxygen, from transformer oil within a conservator. This barrier also reduces condensation and oxidation inside the transformer and suppresses gas bubble formation in the transformer oil.
What is current transformer in substation?
A current transformer (CT) is a type of transformer that is used to reduce or multiply an alternating current (AC). Current transformers are the current-sensing units of the power system and are used at generating stations, electrical substations, and in industrial and commercial electric power distribution.
What is potential transformer in substation?
A Potential transformer is actually a instrument transformer that used in power systems to step down primary current voltages and secondary voltages from a higher level to lower secondary potential output voltage level. There is still a primary winding and a transformer high voltage primary and secondary winding.
