Difference between Power Transformer and Distribution Transformer?

Question

Accepted Answer

Power transformers are used in high voltage transmission systems, while distribution transformers are used in low voltage distribution networks.

Power transformers are designed for high voltage transmission systems, typically above 33 kV.
Distribution transformers are used in low voltage distribution networks, typically below 33 kV.
Power transformers are larger in size and have higher power ratings compared to distribution transformers.
Power transformers are used to step up or step down voltage levels for long-distance transmission.
Distribution transformers are used to step down voltage levels for local distribution to consumers.
Power transformers are usually located at power generation stations or substations.
Distribution transformers are commonly found on utility poles or in underground vaults near residential or commercial areas.
