Knowledge in autotransformer

magnetics and transformers

In alternating current (AC) devices they cause energy losses, called core losses, due to hysteresis and eddy currents in applications such as transformers and inductors. "Soft" magnetic materials with low coercivity and hysteresis, such as silicon steel, or ferrite, are usually used in cores. this notes covers all the important topics of the chapter.Its helpful for the quick revision for the chapter. This chapter was taught to the students of first year of DELHI TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY(one of the top engineering colleges of india). thank you :)

Transformer(Electrical engineering) Notes

Electrical Engineering notes of Transformers which consist of all the information related to transformer, autotransformer, three-phase transformer

Transformer

A transformer is a passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to one or more circuits. A varying current in any one coil of the transformer produces a varying magnetic flux, which, in turn, induces a varying electromotive force across any other coils wound around the same core. Electrical energy can be transferred between the (possibly many) coils, without a metallic connection between the two circuits. Faraday's law of induction discovered in 1831 described the induced voltage effect in any coil due to changing magnetic flux encircled by the coil.Transformers are used for increasing or decreasing the alternating voltages in electric power applications, and for coupling the stages of signal processing circuits.Since the invention of the first constant-potential transformer in 1885, transformers have become essential for the transmission, distribution, and utilization of alternating current electric power.[2] A wide range of transformer designs is encountered in electronic and electric power applications. Transformers range in size from RF transformers less than a cubic centimeter in volume, to units weighing hundreds of tons used to interconnect the power grid

Transformers for Electrical Engineering Students

These are the notes of the subject Electrical engineering and are targeted to one of the difficult subtopics of Transformers. These will prove beneficial to both FY and SY Electrical Engineering students/ of all branches and help them to score good marks in their exams.
