    The transformer is an electrostatic device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through mutual induction of two coils without changing the frequency. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction using a magnetic core and two windings - a primary winding that receives energy from an alternating current source and a secondary winding that delivers energy. The core is made of thin steel or silicon steel laminations to reduce energy loss, and the windings produce a changing magnetic flux that induces voltage in the other winding. Transformers come in core type and shell type based on whether the core surrounds the windings or vice versa.

    INTRODUCTION TO TRANSFORMER

    The transformer is a electrostatic device which is used to transfer electrical


    energy (voltage or current) from one circuit to another by mutual induction of
    two electric circuits without change in frequency, which is working under the
    principle of electromagnetic induction.

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

    • The transformer is working under the principle of electromagnetic induction.

    • By using this principle, which transfers electrical energy from one winding to
    another winding by mutual induction between the two windings.

    • An alternating flux is established in the magnetic core when the primary winding
    is energized from an ac source (V1) and the secondary is open circuited.

    • This flux links both the primary and secondary windings; thereby an emf is
    induced in them due to the rate of change of flux linkages with the windings
    CONSTRUCTION

    The essential parts in a transformer are

    1. A good magnetic core

    2. Two windings

    3. A time varying magnetic flux.

    • The transformer core is made of sheet steel or silicon steel with high
    permeability and low hysteresis.
    • The transformer core is used to provide a continuous magnetic path with small
    air gap.

    • The sheets are laminated and coated with an oxide layer to reduce eddy
    current loss.

    • Using a special grade of heat-treated grain-oriented silicon steel laminations


    can minimize the hysteresis loss.

    • The thickness of lamination is 0.35mm for 50Hz of frequency and 0.5mm for
    25Hz of frequency of operation.

    TYPES OF WINDINGS

    The transformer is having two windings.

    1. Primary windings

    2. Secondary windings.

    • The winding, which receives electrical energy, is called the primary winding.

    • The winding, which delivers electrical energy, is known as secondary winding.

    • They are made of copper.

    • The windings are stationary and the magnetic flux is changing.

    • Hence the emf is induced on the secondary winding.

    • This kind of induced emf is called as statically induced emf.


    Types of transformer

    • According to the transformer construction, they are classified into two types.

    (a) Core type transformer


    (b) Shell type transformer

    • In the core type transformers, the windings surround the core whereas in shell
    type transformers, the core surrounds the windings.

    • In both core and shell type transformers, the laminations are cut in the form
    of L, E and I shape to avoid high reluctance at the joints.
