Electrical Transformer

Electrical Transformer

Electrical Transformers are cabin-like electrical machines that are meant to regulate and transmit electrical power from one circuit to another without any change in the frequency. They operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction so that they could transfer electrical power between generators and users via primary circuits.

One major function of electrical transformers is that they facilitate stepping up or stepping down the voltage in power distribution networks of an area. Hence, the users receive a normal flow of electricity without any fluctuation.

Electrical transformers are static machines and hence they are always placed on the surface or hung onto the poles. There are three major components of an electrical transformer: a magnetic core, primary winding, and secondary winding. The primary winding is connected to an electrical source that produces the magnetic flux and the core takes the flux to the secondary winding to produce a magnetic circuit. This magnetic circuit closes the flux, and the secondary winding finishes the flux movement.

An electrical transformer is a compact and heavy machine that is built to conduct power regulation and transmission by minimizing the loss of energy. This machine is made for specific work of transmitting electrical power to a large area of homes, an industrial unit, or a large commercial complex. The electrical power that transformers facilitate covers long distances and then converts high-voltage current into the low-voltage current. In industrial settings as well as commercial complexes, electrical power distribution is highly essential to regulate current to a normal, established range.

The electrical transformers work on the principle of Faraday’s law, which means they operate under electromagnetic induction. All of us are quite familiar with electrical transformers well established in the urban localities, or industrial and construction sites, either placed on the ground or well-sat in between two poles. The electrical transformers are the powerhouses that facilitate power supply to the fixed area in constant flow and normal current conduction.

Major Components:

There are four primary parts to the electrical transformer: input connection, output connection, windings or coils, and core.

Functions of an Electrical Transformer

• Electrical Transformers perform the following functions:
• Designed for power conduction
• Converts high voltage into domestically and commercially utilizable current
• Stabilizes electrical supply to targeted locations
• Transmit electrical supply from the generation point to the common users via electrical circuits.

FAQs:

What do the windings do in electrical transformers?

Electrical transformers contain two windings: the primary winding and the secondary winding. While the primary winding is the coil that draws power from the source the secondary winding transports the energy at the changed voltage to the intended load. 

How do single-phase transformers work?

The single-phase transformers supply power for residential needs such as light, heating, and air-conditioning. Such transformers can use both the primary winding and secondary winding for parallel configurations.

What is a distribution transformer?

A distribution transformer is a pole-type transformer that is usually used to supply small amounts of power to residential areas. 

What is an isolation transformer?

An isolation transformer is a special transformer that does not facilitate voltage up or down. Rather, it acts as a safety device, which means, it isolates the grounded conductor of a power line from the chassis or any portion of a circuit load. 

What is kVA?

kVA stands for kilo-Volt Ampere. It refers to the amount of power that is in use in a system. It is often used to indicate the capacity of electrical transformers.
