What is a Transformer???
A transformer is a static Device which
consists of two or more stationary
electric circuits whose
main purpose of transferring
electrical power by
magnetically link without
changing the frequency.
The Transformer consists of
several parts:1. Core
2. Coil
3. Bushings
4. Tap Changer

Transformer
Equation
The Simple Transformer
Equation states:-

V2/V1=N2/N1=I1/I
2
Where V2,N2 And V1,N1
are the terminal potential
difference and number of
turns in secondary and
primary sides
respectively. Whereas I1
and I2 are the current
flowing in primary and
secondary sides of the

transformer.

Types of Transformer
Step UP Transformer :
A transformer in which N2>N1 and which
converts low voltage to high voltage.

Step DOWN Transformer :

A transformer in which N1>N2 and which
converts high voltage to low voltage.

A bushing must be
designed to withstand
the electrical field
strength produced in
the insulation, when
any earthed material
is present. As the
strength of the
electrical field
increases, leakage
paths may develop
within the insulation.
If the energy of the
leakage path
overcomes the
dielectric strength of
the insulation, it may
puncture the
insulation and allow

energy 12

Core Type Transformer

In the core type of
transformer, the primary
and secondary windings
are wound outside and
surround the core ring.
In the core type
transformer
construction, one half of
each winding is wrapped
around each leg (or
limb) of the
transformers magnetic
circuit. In the core type

Shell Type
Transformer In the shell type transforme,
primary and secondary windings
are wound on the same centre
leg or limb which has twice the
cross-section of the other two
legs. The advantage here is that
the magnetic flux has two
closed magnetic paths to flow
around external to the coils on
both left and right hand sides
before returning back to the
central coils.This means that the
magnetic flux circulating around
the outer limbs of this type of
transformer construction is
equal to/2.

with an external
overhead oil reservoir
called aconservator.

Silica Gel Container

Most of the power
generation
companies use
silica gel breathers
fitted to the
conservator of oil
filled transformers.
The purpose of
these silica gel
breathers is to
absorb the
moisture in the air
sucked in by the
transformer during
the breathing
process.

What is Transformer
Breathing?
When load on transformer
increases or when the transformer
under full load, the insulating oil of
the transformer gets heated up,
expands and gets expel out in to
the conservator tank present at the
top of the power transformer and
subsequently pushes the dry air out
of the conservator tank through the
silica gel breather. This process is
called breathing out of the
