WHAT IS A TRANSFORMER?
 A transformer is an electrical device that
transfers electrical energy from one circuit to
another by electromagnetic induction (also called
transformer action). It is used to step up or step
down ac voltage.
PARTS OF THE TRANSFORMER
BASIC PARTS OF A TRANSFORMER
 These are the basic components of a transformer.
 Laminated core
 Windings
 Insulating materials
 Transformer oil
 Tap changer
 Oil Conservator
 Breather
 Cooling tubes
CORE
CORE
 The core acts as support to the winding in the
transformer. It also provides a low reluctance path to
the flow of magnetic flux.
 It is made of laminated soft iron core in order to
reduce eddy current loss and Hysteresis loss.
 The composition of a transformer core depends on
such as factors voltage, current, and frequency.
 The diameter of the transformer core is directly
proportional to copper loss and is inversely
proportional to iron loss.
 When the diameter of the core is increased, the vice
versa occurs.
WINDING
WINDING
 Two sets of winding are made over the transformer
core and are insulated from each other. Winding
consists of several turns of copper conductors bundled
together, and connected connected in series.
 Winding can be classified in two different ways:
Based on the input and output supply
Based on the voltage range
WINDING
 Within the input/output supply classification, winding
are further categorized:
 Primary winding - These are the winding to which
the input voltage is applied.
 Secondary winding - These are the winding to which
the output voltage is applied
WINDING
 High voltage winding - It is made of copper
conductor. The number of turns made shall be the
multiple of the number of turns in the low voltage
winding. The conductor used will be thinner than that
of the low voltage winding.
 Low voltage winding - It consists of fewer number of
turns than the high voltage winding. It is made of
thick copper conductors. This is because the current in
the low voltage winding is higher than that of high
voltage winding.
INSULATING MATERIALS
 Insulating paper and cardboard are used in
transformers to isolate primary and secondary
winding from each other and from the
transformer core.
 Transformer oil is another insulating material.
 Transformer oil performs two important
functions: in addition to insulating function, it
can also cool the core and coil assembly.
 The transformer's core and winding must be
completely immersed in the oil.
CONSERVATOR
 The conservator conserves the transformer oil. It is an
airtight, metallic, cylindrical drum that is fitted above
the transformer.
 The conservator is connected to the main tank inside
the transformer, which is completely filled with
transformer oil through a pipeline.
BREATHER
BREATHER
 The breather controls the moisture level in the
transformer. Moisture can arise when temperature
variations cause expansion and contraction of the
insulating oil, which then causes the pressure to
change inside the conservator.
 If the insulating oil encounters moisture, it can affect
the paper insulation or may even lead to internal
faults. Therefore, it is necessary that the air entering
the tank is moisture-free.
 The transformer's breather is a cylindrical container
that is filled with silica gel.
TAP CHANGER
TAP CHANGER
 The output voltage of transformers vary according to
its input voltage and the load.
 During loaded conditions, the voltage on the output
terminal decreases, whereas during off-load
conditions the output voltage increases. In order to
balance the voltage variations, tap changers are used.
 Tap changers can be either on-load tap changers or
off-load tap changers. In an on-load tap changer, the
tapping can be changed without isolating the
transformer from the supply.
 Automatic tap changers are also available.
COOLING TUBES
COOLING TUBES
 Cooling tubes are used to cool the transformer
oil.
 The transformer oil is circulated through the
cooling tubes.
 The circulation of the oil may either be natural
or forced. In natural circulation, when the
temperature of the oil rises the hot oil naturally
rises to the top and the cold oil sinks downward.
 Thus the oil naturally circulates through the
tubes. In forced circulation, an external pump is
used to circulate the oil.
