Electric Transformer Components

1. *Transformer Components*
a. *Core*
The core is typically made of laminated steel sheets and provides a magnetic path for the flow of flux generated by the primary winding. It's responsible for transferring energy from the primary to the secondary winding.
b. *Primary Winding*
The primary winding receives electrical energy from the source and induces a magnetic flux in the core.
c. *Secondary Winding*
The secondary winding receives the induced magnetic flux from the core and produces electrical energy for the load.
c. *Insulation*
Insulation materials, such as
paper,
varnish,
and oil,
are used to electrically insulate the windings and prevent short circuits.
d. *Tap Changer*
Some transformers have tap changers that allow adjustment of the
transformer's turns ratio to regulate voltage.
e. *Cooling System*
Transformers may have cooling systems such as oil or air-cooling to dissipate heat generated during operation.
f. *Bushings*
Bushings provide electrical insulation
and support for connecting the transformer to external circuits.
