Transformer Windings

 Primary winding or input winding.

 Secondary winding or output winding.
 If there is a third winding on the transformer, it is called the
tertiary winding.

Types and construction of Transformer

There are two general types of transformer construction:

core-type and shell-type.
1. Core Type: This type of construction consists of a simple
rectangular laminated piece of steel with the transformer
windings wrapped around two sides of the rectangle, construction
is known as core form.

2. Shell Type:
Consists of a three-legged laminated core with the windings
wrapped around the center leg. This type of construction is
known as shell form.
…Shell type

 The core is constructed of thin laminations electrically isolated

from each other in order to minimize eddy currents.

 The primary and secondary windings in a physical transformer

are wrapped one on top of the other with the low-voltage
winding innermost. Such an arrangement serves two purposes:
 It simplifies the problem of insulating the high-voltage winding from the
core.
 It results in much less leakage flux than would be the case if the two
windings were separated by a distance on the core.

Types of Transformers:

 Power Transformer
 Step up Transformer
 Step down Transformer
 Distribution Transformer
 Auto Transformer
 Current Transformer ( C.T )
 Voltage or Potential Transformer ( P.T )

The ideal transformer:

 An ideal transformer is a lossless device with an input winding

and an output winding.

-Has no losses-
The relationship between input voltage and primary windings
also output voltage and secondary windings.
