kulmamuuntaja
Kulmamuuntaja, in electrical engineering, refers to a transformer designed to introduce a controlled phase shift between its input and output voltages. The term is Finnish for “angle transformer,” and in English-language literature it is often called a phase-shifting transformer or angle transformer. Its primary purpose is to control power flow in alternating current networks by altering the phase angle difference between sending and receiving ends, thereby increasing transfer capacity and reducing congestion on transmission lines.
Construction and operation take advantage of standard transformer principles enhanced with phase-shifting capabilities. Kulmamuuntajat may be
Applications are primarily found in high-voltage substations and transmission corridors where precise control of power flow
