A transformer is a voltage control device used to step up and step down the voltage in various electrical circuits. The working principle of a transformer is electromagnetic induction & mutual induction. These are classified into two types like core type and shell type. In core type transformer, the magnetic core mainly contains two limbs and two yokes whereas shell type transformer contains three limbs & two yokes. So the main difference between … [Read more...]

A Transformer is a static electrical device because it doesn’t have moving parts. The main function of a transformer is to change the electrical power from one electric circuit to another by changing voltage & current but not changing frequency. Transformers are classified into two types based on their function as a step-up transformer and step-down transformer. This article discusses an overview of a step-down transformer and its working with … [Read more...]

Through the electric power industry, power will be supplied to households and businesses. There are multiple approaches to power generation and every application requires various levels of power. The generation of power is handled by the electric power industry. There might be the chances of getting … [Read more...]

Initially, let us know what an autotransformer is, an autotransformer is the electric type of transformer that works only with one winding. The word “Auto” indicates that only one coil functions independently. Here, the sections that are present in the same winding operate as the transformer’s secondary and primary windings. Whereas, the general kind of transformer has individual secondary and primary windings. And then the invention of the autotransformer … [Read more...]

The conservator tank is one of the most important parts of the operation of the transformer. Its main role is not only to circulate and maintain the oil level in the transformer but also plays an important role in the protection of the transformer against earth faults, heating and maintains the insulation of the windings. It is placed on the top of the transformer tank and has its own capacity based on the rating of the transformer. Generally, it is placed … [Read more...]
