Transformer Key Point To Remember

A transformer transfers electric energy from a primary coil to a secondary coil via a magnetic core. It allows voltages to be increased or decreased depending on the ratio of coils. Energy flows through the coils in either direction and both voltages and currents are sinusoidal. Ideal transformers have an infinitely permeable, lossless core and windings without resistance. Common core types include core and shell, with windings wound around legs of the core.

Transformer

Key Point to Remember:-

A transformer is a static device comprising coupled coils (primary and secondary) wound on common magnetic core. The
arrangement transfers electric energy from one coil (primary) at a particular voltage level to the other coil (secondary) at another
voltage level via the magnetic flux carried by the core.
In a transformer, all voltages and currents are sinusoidal. The device is bilateral i.e. electric energy can be made to flow in either
direction with reversal of roles of the two coils.
Ideal transformer
(a) The core is infinitely permeable and is lossless.
(b) Both windings have no resistance and there is no leakage flux; so no voltage drop in either winding.
Two types of transformer cores are commonly employed in practice - core type and shell type. In the core type, the windings are
wound around the two legs of a rectangular magnetic core, while in shell type, the windings are wound on the central leg of a three
legged core
Transformer windings are made of solid or stranded copper or aluminum strip conductors. For electronic transformers, magnetic
wire is normally used as conductor.
