Parts Of Transformer


A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. It is a vital component in power transmission and distribution systems, as well as various electrical applications. A transformer consists of several key parts, each playing a crucial role in its operation. Let's explore these parts in detail:




1. Core: The core is the central part of a transformer and is typically made of laminated iron or steel. Its primary function is to provide a low reluctance path for the magnetic flux generated by the transformer. The laminations help to reduce eddy current losses and improve the efficiency of the transformer.




2. Windings: Windings are the conductive coils of wire that surround the core. There are two types of windings: primary winding and secondary winding.




- Primary Winding: The primary winding receives the electrical energy from the input power source. It is connected to the power supply and carries the alternating current (AC) that is to be transformed.




- Secondary Winding: The secondary winding is responsible for delivering the transformed electrical energy to the load or the output circuit. The voltage induced in the secondary winding depends on the turns ratio between the primary and secondary windings, which determines the voltage transformation ratio of the transformer.




The windings are often insulated with an insulating material to prevent electrical breakdown between the windings and the core.




3. Insulation: Insulation is used to electrically isolate the windings and prevent short circuits. Insulating materials such as paper, oil-impregnated paper, or synthetic materials are used to separate the windings from each other and from the transformer's core.




4. Tap Changer: A tap changer is a device that allows for the adjustment of the transformer's output voltage by changing the point of connection on the winding. It consists of a selector switch or an on-load tap changer (OLTC) mechanism. By adjusting the tap changer, the number of turns in the winding effectively changes, allowing for voltage regulation.




5. Cooling System: Transformers generate heat during operation, and efficient cooling is necessary to maintain their temperature within acceptable limits. Cooling systems can include cooling fins, radiators, oil pumps, fans, or cooling ducts. Oil is commonly used as a cooling and insulating medium in power transformers.




6. Tank and Conservator: The transformer is housed in a tank that provides mechanical support and protects the internal components. The tank is typically made of steel and is sealed to prevent the entry of moisture and contaminants. A conservator is a cylindrical vessel connected to the transformer tank that allows for the expansion and contraction of the insulating oil as the temperature changes.




7. Bushings: Bushings are the insulating structures that provide a connection point for external conductors to enter the transformer. They are typically made of porcelain or composite materials and provide electrical insulation and mechanical support.




These are the primary parts of a transformer, each contributing to its efficient and reliable operation. Transformers are available in various sizes and configurations to meet different power requirements and applications, ranging from small power adapters to large power transformers used in electrical substations.

ERTHING

ERTHING                        Electricity is beneficial for us, but its loss is even more. Electricity can take our lives even if it does not go well. Now we can not get away from electricity because electricity has become part of our life. Light in the darkness, fan in the heat, so much of the electricity around us that we They even use it inadvertently. Along with this, the risk goes up. For this reason, we must definitely adopt a path of goodwill which can secure us and our own electricity so we must definitely do our work in our home to avoid all these. But first, do you know what the meaning is?  What is Erthing?            We have so many electric appliances in our house around us that sometimes we have been using it. Therefore the electrical equipment is in contact with our body, and therefore whenever there is a fault in the instrument then the body of the instrument comes in contact with us, so that the current passes through our body and we feel shock O

Distribution Transformer and Power Transformer

Distribution Transformer:                                     The transformer is used in the distribution of electrical energy. It is called Distribution Transformer. Its rating is 200 KVA and it is a step down type. In this transformer whether the load is loaded or not, it is functioning 24 hours a day. This means that iron lasts continuously throughout the day while copper is based on the load load. So much so that the load more loads of copper loses and loads less as copper Iron deficiency in such transformer should be lower than Copper Loss. In other words, the transformer's efficiency should be greater on the 50% load. Such transformer's voltage regulation should be good. Power Transformer:                                      The transformer that is used for the transmission of electrical energy is called a power transformer. The rating of this transformer is 200KVA. Power transformer can be used to step up or step down the voltage on both ends of the power l

D.C 3 POINT STARTER

                                 It can also be called a three point starter. Its structure is shown in Figure. To start the motor, the handle is moved from off position to the first contact position. The total obstacle is in the armature circuit, the field connection is connected directly to the supply through a volt coil. Comes in as soon as the speed of the motor increases in the same way as the archete back emf emits and decreases in the value of current Now the handle is moved to the second step. Again this type of function will be done eventually at the last step of the handle. This time the armature will connect directly to the supply and this time the handle does not come with a no-volt coil. The magnet will hold the handle in the walt coil, and the motor will not need to hold the handle to continue and the motor will rotate in full speed.                   Mechanism of 3 points Starter is done so that if the magnetism of the nvc coil is exhausted for any reason, and the
