Transformers

How Transformers Work

It is important to remember that the transformer does not produce electricity; The transformer transfers electrical power from one AC circuit to another using a magnetic clutch. The core of the transformer is used to provide a controlled path for the magnetic flux generated in the transformer by the current flowing through the coil, also known as the coil.
There are four main parts to the basic transformer. Parts include Input Connections, Output Connections, Coils and Coils and Core.

Input Connection - The input side of the transformer is called the main side because the main electrical power to be changed is connected at this point.
Output Connection - The output side or secondary side of the transformer is where electrical power is sent to the load. Depending on load requirements, the incoming electrical power increases or decreases.
Winding - The transformer has two rolls, into a primary coil and a secondary coil. The main coil is a coil that draws power from the source. Secondary rolls are coils that transmit energy at voltages that are converted or converted to loads. Usually, these two rolls are divided into several rolls to reduce the creation of fluxes.
Core - The transformer core is used to provide a controlled path for magnetic flux produced in the transformer. The core is generally not a solid steel rod, but rather the construction of many thin laminated steel sheets or layers. This construction is used to help eliminate and reduce heating.
Transformers generally have one of two core types: Core Type and Shell Type. Both types are distinguished from each other in the way in which the primary and secondary coils are placed around the steel core.
Core type - With this type, rolls surround the laminated core.
Shell type - With this type, the roll is surrounded by a laminated core.
