DNB RESIDENT
Electric power to the consumer is usually supplied
at 120 -240 volts, but much higher voltage is
needed to give the electrons in an X-ray tube
enough energy to generate X-rays.
Principle :-
A transformer is an electromagnetic device which
changes an Alternating current from low voltage to
The transformer transfers electrical energy from
one circuit to another without the use of moving
parts or any electrical contact between the two
circuits, employing the principle of Electromagnetic
induction.

How does a Transformer
function??
An AC in the Primary coil sets up, in around it, a
magnetic field that varies rapidly in direction and
strength, just as does the AC itself.
1 1 Equal
1 2 emf doubled
2 1 emf halved
Transformer
Law :-
The emf induced in the secondary coil is to the emf
in the primary coil, as the number of turns in the
secondary coil is to the number of turns in the
primary coil.
Vs / Vp = Ns / Np
Vs – Voltage in the Secondary coil.
Vp – Volatage in the Primary coil.
Ns – No of turns in the Secondary coil.
Np – No of turns in the Primary coil.
If a Transformer has more turns in the Secondary
coil than in Primary coil, puts out a higher voltage
than is supplied to it, then it is called Step up
Transformer.
Vs / Vp = Ns / Np
Vs/ 100 = 500/ 1 = 50,000 volts = 50 kv
To obtain the required variety of input voltages one
has to connect a device known as Autotransformer
between the source of AC and the primary side of
the Transformer.
Construction of
Autotransformer
The autotransformer is made up of single coil of
insulated wire wound around a large iron core.
