WHAT IS TRANSFORMER ?
 A transformer is a static electrical device that
transfers electrical energy between two or more
circuits.
 A varying current in one coil of the transformer
produces a varying magnetic flux,
 which, in turn, induces a varying electromotive
force across a second coil wound around the
same core.
 Electrical energy can be transferred between the
two coils,
 without a metallic connection between the two
circuits.
 Faraday's law of induction discovered in 1831
described the induced voltage effect in any coil
due to changing magnetic flux encircled by the
coil
WORKING PRINCIPLE OF
TRANSFORMER
 The transformer working depends upon
Faraday’s electromagnetic induction
law.
 The mutual induction phenomenon
between two or more winding is
responsible for power transformation.
TRANSFORMER CORE
TYPES OF TRANSFORMERS
 Step-Up Transformer

 Step-Down Transformer
EFFICIENCY
ADVANTAGES OF TRANSFORMER
 Power factor control

 Fastisolation under fault conditions

due to a controlled SST

 Controlof both AC and DC load can

be done using the SST
USES AND APPLICATION OF
TRANSFORMER

 It can thus act as an impedance

transferring device.
 It can be used to prevent DC from passing
from one circuit to the other.
 it can isolate two circuits electrically.

 AC Circuit
