Transformers Flashcards
transforms electric energy from one circuit to another circuit at the same frequency.
Transformers
Types of Transformers according to construction
Core and shell Type Transformers
the winding are placed outside the core
Core Type Transformers
the windings are placed inside the core such that the magnetic circuit almost completely surrounds the winding.
Shell Type Transformers
Is the ratio of the amount of magnetic flux linking a secondary coil compared to the flux generated by the primary coil.
Coefficient of coupling
A step down transformer converts high voltage from the primary side to low voltage on the secondary coil resulting in a decrease in the output voltage.
STEP DOWN TRANSFORMERS
These types of transformers work almost the same as step down transformers.
STEP UP TRANSFORMER
• A single-phase transformer is a type of power transformer that uses single-phase alternating current, which means it relies on a voltage cycle that operates in an integrated time phase.
SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER
These transformers are used to convert the voltage of electronic systems with three phase.
THREE PHASE TRANSFORMERS
• They are usually large in size and do not have any rotating or moving parts.
POWER TRANSFORMER
The distribution transformer provides the last or final voltage change in the power distribution syster.
DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER
These transformers are used to measure electrical
and power factor.

TRANSFORMER
• Current transformers are commonly used to reduce or multiply alternating current (AC).
CURRENT TRANSFORMER
This type of transformer is used to transfer electrical power from an alternating current while isolating the powered device for safety reasons.
ISOLATION TRANSFORMER
Potential transformers or voltage transformers are commonly used to reduce voltage levels.
POTENTIAL TRANSFORMER
In this transformer, both the primary and secondary windings are set on a nonmagnetic stripe. It has flux linkage in both the windings through the air.
