Introduction
A transformer is a device that transfers
electrical energy from one electrical
circuit to another electrical circuit by
electromagnetic induction (transformer
action).

TRANSFORMER CONSTRUCTION
The different parts of the transformer are
shown in Figure below.
Electrical Machines 5
Transformer Windings
A transformer mainly has two
windings wound on the two limbs of
the transformer, namely, the primary
winding and the secondary winding.
Primary winding connected with the
supply, secondary winding connected
with load.
Electrical Machines 6
Core-type transformer
A core-type transformer has a
single path for the magnetic flux
to flow in the transformer. The
core can be in the form of a
rectangle or a square.
Electrical Machines 7
Shell-type transformer
A shell-type transformer has two
windows and three limbs. Both
the primary and secondary
windings are placed on the central
limb.

Principle of Operation
The primary of the transformer having
N1 turns is fed from an AC supply of V1
volts. The current I1 will flow through
the primary coil. The current through
the primary will set up a flux φ in the
core. This flux, when linked with the
primary winding, will produce an
induced e.m.f., E1, in the primary.
Electrical Machines 11
Principle of Operation
The flux φ will pass through the core
and link with the secondary winding
to induce an e.m.f., E2, in the
secondary winding. Because of this
induced e.m.f., a current I2 will flow
through the load connected with the
secondary winding. The load terminal
voltage is V2.
Electrical Machines 12
Principle of Operation
If the input voltage V1 is greater than
the output voltage V2, then it is called
the step-down transformer. If the
input voltage V1 is less than the output
voltage V2, then it is called the step-up
transformer.

EMF Equation
Let, N1 and N2 be the number of turns of
primary and secondary, Qm be the
maximum value of flux and f be the
frequency. Then
