Why do we need to connect transformers in Parallel?

The transformers are linked in parallel to:

  • Increase Capacity: If a single transformer cannot manage the entire load, additional transformers are paralleled to distribute the load.

  • Increase Reliability: When one transformer fails, the others can continue to provide power, assuring uninterrupted service.

  • Flexibility in Maintenance: One transformer may be brought offline for maintenance without disrupting the power supply.

  • Load Sharing: During high loads, More transformers may be brought online to improve performance and efficiency.

  • Future Expansion: Enables the simple addition of transformers to handle increasing load demand without changing the entire system.
