Typical oil filled power transformer.
Large power transformers need cooling take the heat generated away
from the core.
● The magnetic flux the core causes voltage induced the
secondary winding the transformers.
● The voltage both the primary and secondary windings propor-
tional the number turns.

Have you seen any transformers action?
Were they big small what were they being used for?
Have you been close transmission tower, perhaps when you were walking
in the countryside?

A simple transformer. Equipment

room, provided that suitably enclosed and protected from the ingress
of moisture. sketch oil immersed transformer can be
seen Fig. This useful for low voltage supplies such domestic
bell transformers.
● This means that you increase the number secondary turns you
will increase the output voltage. This has application power

● alternating voltage applied the primary winding establishes an
alternating magnetic flux the core. This often achieved totally immersing the core and
windings insulating oil. Small trans-
formers are used isolating transformers shaver sockets and can also
be used supply separated extra low voltage (SELV) sources. 5.
Very small transformers are used electronic applications.18.
● Alternatively, reducing the number secondary turns will reduce the
output voltage. Because has moving parts, transformer can
have very high efficiency.
