What is the difference between an isolation transformer and distribution transformer?
in isolation transformer earthing is not provide on secondary side but in ordinary transformer neutral of secondary side is earthed
AnswerAn isolation transformer is a 1:1 ratio transformer; its function is to electrically isolate the secondary side from the primary side without changing the voltage. An example of an isolation transformer is the one used in a shaver socket.
A distribution transformer is a step-down transformer, used within the electricity network's distribution system. An example of distribution transformer is a pole-mounted transformer, supplying low voltage to residences.
(Of course, all mutual Transformers provide electrical isolation between primary and secondary.)

Difference between isolation transformer and Scott-T transformer?
The Scott-T transformer was used to run 2-phase equipment from a 3-phase source. Older power distribution systems (and equipment) were 2-phase. An isolation transformer usually has the same input and output voltages (120:120, 240:240, etc) and is used to isolate the source from the load. Isolation transformers are used in medical equipment, for instance, to prevent a patient hooked up to a monitor from being electrocuted during an electrical fault.
What is the difference between primary electrical distribution and secondary distribution?
Primary electrical distribution carries medium voltage power to distribution transformers near the customers. Secondary electrical distribution transfers the power from the transformer to the households.
What is difference between isolation transformer and earth protection relay?
An isolation transformer is a mutual transformer having a voltage ratio of 1:1, so that the secondary circuit is electrically isolated from the primary circuit, yet subject to the same voltage.An earth protection relay is a category of protective relay that responds to an earth fault monitored by a current transformer (CT). In the event of an earth fault being detected by the CT, the relay with activate the trip circuit to a circuit breaker which will then disconnect the fault.
What is difference between interposing voltage transformer and potential transformer?
potential transformer is to maser and protection purpose the ivt is used for synchronicing purpose
What is the difference between power transformer and instrument transformer?
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
