About this solution
Lab Objectives
The three-phase transformer lab aims to give students the fundamental skills to understand, configure and analyse the behaviour of transformers in single-phase and three-phase settings. Specifically, the lab sets out to:
- Foster practical knowledge of transformers through hands-on activities that include free configuration of the primary and secondary windings.
- Allow direct observation of the effects of electrical load (resistive, inductive and capacitive) on transformer performance.
- Develop skills in measuring and interpreting electrical parameters (voltage, current, frequency, power factor, harmonics, THD, phase angles, etc.) using instruments such as the power quality analyser and the PC measurement interface.
- Promote the safe application of skills thanks to built-in protection against short circuits, overloads and overcurrents.
Educational Aims
The educational aims of the package focus on developing both theoretical and practical skills, preparing students to work in professional settings in electrical power and industrial automation. In particular:
- Understand the operating principle of transformers, including the concepts of electromagnetic induction, transformation ratio and galvanic isolation.
- Correctly configure and connect three-phase transformers in various arrangements (star-star, star-delta, etc.) and observe the changes in output parameters.
- Analyse the energy efficiency and behaviour of transformers under different types of load, simulating real operating conditions and compensation between R, L and C components.
- Measure and interpret power quality parameters professionally, using advanced instruments (oscilloscopes, analysers, transient recorders).
- Learn through the experimental method, integrating printed materials, software and augmented reality applications to strengthen visual and interactive learning.
Conclusion
The transformer lab is a complete teaching resource that combines theory, practice and safety for teaching power technology and electrical machines. Thanks to the versatility of the experiment panel and the built-in instruments, it enables students to:
- Understand in depth the dynamics of three-phase transformers and their applications in power distribution systems.
- Acquire technical skills to deal competently with real analysis, measurement and design situations in the electrical field.
- Improve their command of the fundamental concepts of electrical engineering through practical exercises in a structured, safe and stimulating learning environment. The training package provides a solid foundation for training specialised technicians ready to work in sectors such as power generation and distribution, plant maintenance and electrical design. This solution includes technology systems that help foster inclusion and equal opportunities through the use of innovative teaching methods. Designed to promote active and collaborative learning.
