    1. A transformer transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction without physical contact or changes in frequency or phase. 2. Transformers operate using the principle of electromagnetic induction where an alternating current in the primary winding creates a magnetic flux that induces a voltage in the secondary winding. 3. The main uses of transformers are to increase or decrease AC voltages and isolate one circuit from another.

    ELECTRIC AND TECHNOLOGY


    TRANSFOMERS

    1. Define a Transformer
    A transformer is a static a.c (alternating current) machine that
    transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another at the
    same frequency through a magnetic circuit by the principle of
    electromagnetic induction.
    2. What is the principal of operating a transformer?
    A transformer uses the principle of electromagnetic induction.
    Thus when a the secondary is an open circuit and an alternating
    voltage V1 is applied to the primary winding, a small current
    called the no-load current I flows, which sets the magnetic flux
    in the core. This alternating flux links with both primary and
    secondary coils and induces in them emf of E1 and E2
    respectively by mutual induction.
    3. State the types of transformers in terms of construction.
    i. Core type
    ii. Shell type
    iii. Berry type
    4. Name two types of instrument transformer.
    i. Voltage transformer
    ii. Current transformer
    5. Define an auto transformer.
    An auto transformer is a transformer with only one winding that
    is common to both the primary and secondary circuits.
    6. Name two losses that occur in a transformer.
    i. Copper losses
    ii. Iron losses
    7. What are two uses of transformer oil.
    8. What is the main use of transformers?
    The main use of a transformer is to transfer current from one
    circuit to the another without any physical contact between them
    and without changing the frequency or phase.

    DC MACHINES
    1. What is the difference between a generator and a motor?
    A generator is a machine for converting mechanical energy into
    electrical energy while a motor is a machine for converting
    mechanical energy into electrical energy.

    2. What is the purpose of a commutator in a dc machine? Is to


    ensure that current flows in the same direction.

    3. State the parts of a dc machine.


    a) Stator
    b) Armature
    c)
    4. What is the difference between a lap wind and a wave wind
    machine?
    In wave windings there are two paths in parallel irrespective of
    the number of poles, each path supplying half the total current
    output while in lap winding there are as many paths has the
    machine has poles and the total current output divides equally
    between them.
    5. State the application of a dc machine.

    6. List down the types the of dc motors


    a) Shunt wound motor
    b) Series wound motor
    c) Compound wound motor
    7. Mention three losses that occur in a dc machine.
    i. Copper loss
    ii. Iron (or core)
    iii. Friction and windage losses
