What is meant by Transformer?

The transformer is a static device by means of which electric power is transfer from one alternating current circuit to another with desire change in voltage and current without any change in frequency is called Transformer.

1)     Transformer is a device which transfer electric power from one circuit to another circuit.

2)     It does so without change of frequency.

3)     It is achieve by electromagnetic induction.

4)     When to electric circuit are in mutual inductive influence of each other transfer of power takes place.

What is the Working Principle of Transformer? :-

Working Principle of Transformer

It work on principle of Mutual induction of two coils or Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction when current in primary coil is changed the flux linked to the secondary coil also changes hence EMF is induced in the secondary coil due to faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.

Which Material is used for transformer? :-

Material is used for transformer

Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Silicon Steel (CRGO Silicon Steel) And

Cast Iron material is used for transformer.

Silicon Steel is used for transformer to reduce the Hysteresis loss.

Copper is used for transformer winding.
