Types of transformers:1) Power Transformer 2) Distribution Transformer 3) Auto Transformer " Tap changer " 4) Instrument Transformer 5) Isolating

Transformer 1) Power Transformer: Used in transmission network with high voltages as step up&step down trans. The rating of this type always up to 200 MVA. High voltages are (33,66,110,220,400KV). 2) Distribution Transformer: Used in distribution network with low voltages and a rating less than 200 MVA, Low voltages are (11,6.6,3.3KV,400,220V). 3) Auto Transformer "Tap changer": Has only one winding, The secondary voltage can be obtained by tapping off at any convenient point , Its applications are: ** Starter (in three phase induction motors) ** Booster (raise voltage in Ac feeders ) ** Speed controller or voltage regulator (changing fan speed by changing input voltage) 4) Instrument Transformer: Used in measuring, with protective relays & control circuit, It has two types (voltage trans. , current trans.) 5) Isolating Transformer: Used to isolate or decoupled two different circuits with 1:1 ratio
