Any transformer consists of the following three basic parts in it.
• Primary coil
• Secondary coil
• Transformer (Magnetic) core
![Page 8: Transformer Basics - Engineering Home Pageengineering.richmondcc.edu/Courses/EUS 110/Notes/Transformer Basi… · • When connecting an AC source to a transformer circuit the current](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020302/5a7a6b457f8b9a5a588de259/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Primary coil
The primary coil is the coil to which the source is connected. It may
be the high voltage side or low voltage side of the transformer. An
alternating flux is produced in the primary coil.
2. Secondary coil
The output is taken from the secondary coil. The alternating flux
produced in the primary coil passes through the core and links with
there coil and hence emf is induced in this coil.
3. Magnetic core
The flux produced in the primary passes through this magnetic core.
It is made up of laminated soft iron core. It provides support to the
coil and also provides a low reluctance path for the flux.

In a step-down transformer, the secondary voltage is less
than the primary voltage and Nsec < Npri
Step Up Transformer
In a step-up transformer, the secondary voltage is greater
than the primary voltage and Nsec > Npri
In an isolation transformer, the secondary voltage is equal to the
primary voltage and Nsec = Npri

Faraday’s Law
• The same flux (mutual flux) exists in both coils.
• Flux is generated by i1 (right-hand rule).
• The induced emf e1 and e2 are generated to
oppose the buildup of flux in its window.
• i2 is generated by the induced emf e2.
In DC, the induced emfs
are transients, in steady

The efficiency of a transformer is the ratio of power delivered
to the load (Pout) to the power delivered to the primary (Pin).

• When connecting an AC source to a transformer circuit the
current called the transient component or in-rush current
• Although the in-rush component to a transformer decays rapidly,
dropping to the normal no-load current within 5 to 10 cycles, it
may exceed 25 times the full-load rating during the first half-
cycle.
• This high in-rush must be taken into consideration when
selecting fuses and/or circuit breakers.
• The magnitude of the in-rush depends on the magnitude and
phase angle of the voltage wave at the instant the switch is
closed.
In-Rush current
![Page 18: Transformer Basics - Engineering Home Pageengineering.richmondcc.edu/Courses/EUS 110/Notes/Transformer Basi… · • When connecting an AC source to a transformer circuit the current](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020302/5a7a6b457f8b9a5a588de259/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Transformer Polarity
• Transform polarity refers to the relative phase relationship of
transformer leads
• On power transformers the terminals are designated by the
symbols H1, and H2 for the high-voltage (HV) winding and by
X1, and X2 for the low-voltage (LV) winding.
• By convention, H1 and X1 have the same polarity.
• The transformer has either additive or subtractive polarity.
• A transformer is said to have additive polarity when terminal
H1 is diagonally opposite terminal X1
• A transformer has subtractive polarity when terminal H1 is
adjacent to terminal X1

• Three-phase power is preferred over single-phase power for
several important reasons:
– Three-phase motors, generators, and transformers are
simpler, cheaper, and more efficient
– Three-phase transmission lines can deliver more power for
a given weight and cost
– The voltage regulation of 3-phase transmission lines is
inherently better
Three-Phase Systems

Three Phase Transformers
• A three-phase transformer can be built by constructing a three-
phase transformer on a common magnetic structure or can be
built by suitably connecting a bank of similar three single-
phase transformers
• Three-phase transformers use much less material than three
single-phase transformers for the same three-phase power and
voltage ratings.
• Three-phase transformers have all three phases wound on a
single magnetic core or in shell-type and core-type
construction.
• The principal disadvantage of a three-phase transformer,
compared with its three-transformer counterpart, is that failure of
one phase puts the entire transformer out of service
![Page 22: Transformer Basics - Engineering Home Pageengineering.richmondcc.edu/Courses/EUS 110/Notes/Transformer Basi… · • When connecting an AC source to a transformer circuit the current](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020302/5a7a6b457f8b9a5a588de259/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Three-phase transformers are required to step up or step
down voltages in the various stages of power transmission.
• The primary and secondary windings may be connected in
either wye (Y) or delta (Δ) configurations.
• There are therefore four possible connections for a three-phase
transformer:
» Y -Δ
» Δ -Y
» Δ - Δ
» Y-Y
