    A transformer transfers electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to another, increasing or decreasing the voltage without changing frequency. It consists of a magnetic core with primary and secondary coils wound around it. When an alternating current flows through the primary coil, it induces an alternating voltage in the secondary coil through electromagnetic induction.

    CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING OF TRANSFORMERS

    Transformer is a static device that transfers electric energy from one alternating-current circuit
    to one or more other circuits, either increasing (stepping up) or reducing (stepping down) the
    voltage. This transformation takes place without change in frequency (Constant Frequency).

    Construction of Transformer
    • There are two basic parts of transformer
    1. Magnetic core
    2. Winding or coils
    • The core of the transformer is either square or rectangular.
    • The vertical portion is called limb
    • The top and bottom horizontal portion is called Yoke
    • The core is made up of Laminations.
    • It is laminated to minimize eddy current losses.

    • The transformer consists of two inductive coils electrically separated but linked
    through magnetic circuit.
    • One of the coil is connected to a source of alternating voltage. This coil is called
    primary coil.
    • The other coil is connected to the load. This coil is called secondary coil.
    • The primary winding has N1 number of turns and the secondary winding has N2
    number of turns

    Working of Transformer

    • Transformer works on the principle of Mutual Induction.


    • When two coils are inductively coupled and if current in one coil is changed
    uniformly then an emf get induced in the other coil.
    • The induced emf can drive a current when the circuit/path is closed.
    • When primary winding is excited by an alternating voltage, it circulates an alternating
    current.
    • The alternating current produces alternating flux.
    • This alternating flux links with the secondary coil/winding.
    • As the flux is alternating, mutually induced emf gets developed in the secondary
    coil according to faradays law of electromagnetic induction.
    • When the load is connected to secondary coil, current will be flowing through it.
    • Thus, without any physical electrical connection, an electrical energy is transferred
    from primary to secondary.
