Definition
Transformer is a static device
which transfers electrical energy
from one circuit to another circuit
without change in frequency
Construction of
transformer
2. Inductive winding
Transformer has two inductivewinding; first
one is primary winding and second
issecondary winding.
These inductivewingdingsare available at
opposite sides of core.
The upper half is primary winding and lower
half is secondary winding. Due to this
arrangement leakage flux is decreased and
induced EMF will increase.
Primary and secondary winding are
electrically separated but magnetically linked
4. Insulating media
It is used to insulate
transformer winding.
Press board, varnished,
insulating paper, lathered
paper, etc. can be used as
insulation media.
5. Insulating oil
Insulating oil or transformer oil is
filled up in transformer tank.
This oil is made from hydrocarbons
because its dielectric strength is
required very high. Hence these are
highly inflammable.
Some good insulating oils are alkalis,
sapphire, etc. The oil must be free
from moisture. It is also used for
6. Cooling tubes.
In large size transformer cooling tubes and
radiators are used on transformer tank.
Insulting oil flows in these tubes which
become cool from atmospheric air and this
cooled oil goes in transformer which
maintains the temperature.
In high rating transformer, fans are also
used for cooling purpose.
7. Conservator tank
It is used with steal tank to show level of
insulating oil.
According to its indication we can change
the amount of insulation oil in steal tank.
9. Bushing
Bushing is used to provide insulation
between transformer winding and
transformer tank.
In three face transformers six bushings
are used, three for input and three for
output.
