Power Transforme

The Definition of power transformer 2. Step Down Transformer

A typical transformer can be defined as "A device that 3. Transformer Autotransformer

transfers electrical energy between electrical circuits". It is
a passive and static device. The power transformer is one of 4. Variable Autotransformer
a kind. Power transformers are used to connect step down
and step up voltages in power distribution systems. 5. Isolation Transformer

Power Transformer Loss

The power transformer suffers a loss because it is not an

ideal transformer. Losing a transformer means losing
power. Transformer losses can be divided into four
• Metal core categories. They -

• Two reels consist of rolls • A. Core Loss / Iron Loss (Hysteresis Loss & Eddy Loss
Current)
Transformer Function
• B. Dielectric Loss
1. Control Circuit
• C. Copper Loss or Ohmic Loss
2. Frequency Control Circuit
• D. Lost Lost
3. Electricity Distribution and Transmission
Power Transformer Application
Transformer Working Principle
Power transformers are most widely used in power
The working principle of the transformer is that when the distribution systems. Some of the applications are -
primary coil is connected or connected to an AC voltage
source, changes in the electric current in the primary coil • Power transformers are used in power generation and
cause the magnetic field to change. distribution systems.

The changing magnetic field is strengthened by the
presence of an iron core then the iron core is delivered to
the secondary coil. So that at the ends of the secondary coil
there will be an induced emf. This effect is known as
mutual inductance.
Transformer Type
There are several types of transformers, including the
following:
1. Step Up Transformer
• Power transformers are used at Sub-stations. Substations
convert higher voltages into lower voltages, and power
transformers do this job. it is the most important device of
the electric substation.
• To reduce power loss in power transmission.
• To increase and decrease the voltage as needed.
