The passages discuss different electrical machines including transformers, DC generators, and DC motors. Key concepts covered include the purpose of transformer cores, no load tests on transformers, effects of changing field resistance in DC generators, and torque-current characteristics of DC motors.

The main purpose of using a core in a transformer is to decrease the reluctance of the common magnetic circuit.

A no load test on a transformer is carried out to determine the magnetizing current and no load losses.
