Types of Transformer

13 Autotransformer
13 Autotransformer

An autotransformer has a single winding with two end terminals, and one or more terminals at intermediate tap points, or it is a transformer in which the primary and secondary coils have part of, or all of their turns in common.

Ariable Autotransformer
Ariable Autotransformer

An Auto-transformer (sometimes called auto-step down transformer) is an electrical transformer with only one winding. The "auto" (Greek for "self") prefix refers to the single coil acting alone and not to any kind of automatic mechanism.

Autotransformer
Autotransformer

An auto transformer has higher efficiency than two winding transformer. This is because of less ohmic loss and core loss due to reduction of transformer material. Auto transformer has better voltage regulation as voltage drop in resistance and reactance of the single winding is less.

Breather
Breather

Transformer in loaded condition-temperature increases inside main tank,oil inside starts heating and expands the excessive oil starts moving to the conservator tank and thus the balloon structure inside compreses and with the help of breather air is sent out. Transformer in the opposite condition ,or say in extreme condition (lower temperature ),oil inside contracts and then air is taken inside to main the balloon like structure through silica gel breather .

EMD Generators
EMD Generators

A generator transforms non-electric (mostly kinetic) energy to electric energy. It is mostly driven by a turbine (that is driven by water or steam), or by an engine on gas, etc. A transformer transforms electric energy to electric energy, most of the time changing voltage and current, when the electric energy provided is not suited for applications.

Grounding Transformer
Grounding Transformer

But when single line to ground fault occurs on any phase of the system, as shown in the figure, zero sequence component of the earth fault current flows in the earth and returns to the electrical power system by way of earth star point of the earthing transformer.

Grounding Transformer
Grounding Transformer

The rated voltage of an earthing or grounding transformer is the line to line voltage on which it is intended to be used. Current rating of this transformer is the maximum neutral current in Amperes that the transformer is designed to carry in fault condition for a specific time. Generally the time interval, for which transformer designed to ...

Induction Regulator
Induction Regulator

The induction voltage regulator is essentially a step-down transformer in which the output voltage may be varied from zero to a certain maximum value depending upon the ratio of turns in the primary and secondary windings.The primary windings are connected to the circuit to be regulated, and secondary is connected in series with the circuit.

Laminated Core
Laminated Core

In transformer, the eddy current loss is proportional to the square of the diameter of the core.larger the diameter, more the eddy current loss. Hence transformer core is laminated so that the net effective diameter of the transformer core reduces and thus eddy current loss can be minimized.

In some high rating transformer, one winding in addition to its primary and secondary winding is used. This additional winding, apart from primary and secondary windings, is known as Tertiary winding of transformer. Because of this third winding, the transformer is called three winding transformer or 3 winding transformer.
