Advantages of 3-Phase Transformer

Its cost is low, less wieght.It can be transported easily.The core will be of smaller size and the material required for the core is less.

ADVANTAGES OF 3-PHASE TRANSFORMER

(i) Its cost is low, less wieght.

(ii) It can be transported easily.

(iii) The core will be of smaller size and the material required for the core is less. 

(iv) The overall busbar unit is more efficient.

(v) The overall busbar structure, switch gear and installation of single three phase unit is simpler.

 (vi) A three phase transformer occupies less spare for same rating, compared to a bank of three single phase transformers.

(vii) Only one unit is required to be handled which makes it easy for the operator.
