what is the function of breather in a transformer

Answer Posted / victor nyami

Transformer while in use succesive loading causes temperature variation of windings then oil as the transformer becomes heavily loaded thw temp of oil rises so there occurs a remarkable volume change due to expansion at this time a transformer breathes out when a load gets reduced the oil temp drops so it contracts at this time transformer breathes in.
As most of air have some moisture content so the breather trap the moisture so that the sucked aie becomes purely anhydrous 
Short circuit is avoided in that way and transfomermer oil properties remain unaltered

We have a distribution transformer of 750KVA/11kv/440v and an AVR (Servo Stabilizer) of 750KVA on the LT side of distribution transformer. Also we have an ACB of 1200A on the output of distribution transformer (that is on the input of AVR). We want to have an MCCB on the output of AVR. What should be the rating?

I have a drawing of a wound rotor induction motor for a crane. This crane motor has 5 forward speeds & 5 reverse speed implemented of course with different amount of resistance for each speed setting selected. What has got me scratching around is the fact that 8 of the 10 speed selections switch in uneven (unbalanced) amounts of resistances on each of the 3 connections to the motor's rotor.Can this be possible? I would have assumed this would produce unbalanced rotor currents and therefore vibration in the motor. I would greatly appreciate anyone's comments on this. Many thanks, Confused.
