In this article, we consider that such a transformer. The types of transformers are described, the principle of operation and design also will not remain without attention. It is worth noting that this static (fixed) of AC machines, which are used for various purposes not only in home but also in industry. For example, for accounting of electricity consumed. But about all under the order.

What is this device?

transformer types of transformers

This is a static electric machine which is used to convert current or voltage. And you can select multiple types of devices depending on which is powered. So, the three-phase network has three windings that are included on the scheme “star” or “triangle”. It is possible to draw an analogy with asynchronous motors. There are various kinds of power transformers, which will be discussed below.

But in the home use of the device, in which a network winding. Furthermore, there is at least one secondary, which is used to supply the devices. For example, in the lamp technology used power transformers with several secondary windings. The need arose from one device to obtain multiple voltage values: 6.3 V, 250 V. in addition, at home you can find current transformers. They installed electricity and are used for device operation control.

Design

The Basis of the transformer is difficult to allocate, but if you rely on weight, that is certainly a core (magnetic core). It is made of steel sheets, which are assembled together and tightly strapped to each other. This allows you to obtain maximum possible cross-section of the magnetic circuit. But not only steel may be used, often made cores made of ferromagnetic materials. This substance, which properties are very similar with metal, but has a slightly different structure. There are certain types of transformers, photos of the main structures is given in the article.

The design has a minimum of two windings. One (primary) is the supply voltage. With the second, third, nth, removed lower voltage with a frequency and shape similar to the input. The power winding consists of copper wire. It is wound on the frame, located around the magnetic core. When applying voltage in the primary circuit there is an alternating magnetic field that the secondary coil induces EMF. As a result, at the output there is some potential difference.

Power transformers

types of power transformers

These types are those that convert the electricity in the network. It is not only installed on the substation transformer. Types of power transformers is varied, they serve not only to lower the voltage from 110 kV, for example, to 6 kV, in the case of the substation. These include and devices used in power supplies household radio. In fact, the design is all the same, there are shared nodes.

Even welding transformers, which are varied, have a similar structure. There is only small nuances, for example, power machines at substations equipped with oil cooling system, while the welding work without it. But the latter has a regulated output current. This is necessary for welding different thickness metals. Well, the devices used in the home, and does not have these adjustments.

Transformers

types of transformers

Autotransformer – one of whose primary and secondary windings are connected directly. It provides not only electrical connection to the device, but also electromagnetic. Usually have three autotransformer output, and it allows to obtain different values of voltage. A distinctive feature of the autotransformers – high efficiency. But there is one major drawback – the primary and secondary circuits are not electrically isolated from each other. Used mostly to regulate the power of the consumer for such a transformer. Types of transformers for other purposes discussed below.

Measuring

welding transformers types

For use in the electrical alternating current created special types of transformers-measuring. Thanks to them increase limits of measuring devices. In addition, they allow the electrical connection with the power wire to hold stopped flowing through it current. In other words, without a galvanic coupling it is possible to control the current flow in the circuit. But it is possible to distinguish two types of measuring devices-transformers-voltage and current. There are different types of current transformers, their difference in size and scope.

Current Transformers allow the transformation. While a large current flowing in the circuit is reduced to a safe value. And it is output to safe control systems or measurement devices, alarm and protection. The primary winding – is the length of conductor around itconducted secondary winding. The latter is removed with a current of 1 or 5 Amperes. But the voltage transformers are designed for a different purpose. They produce a voltage for measurement. With their help it is galvanic isolation protective device from the circuit with high voltage.

Pulse

types of protection transformers

This type of device is used for highly specialized purposes. It is necessary to convert the series of pulse signals. The duration of a single pulse can reach several tens of microseconds. And there is one small feature – only the signal amplitude but not its shape. By the way, there are certain types of protection transformers, pulse is also supplied with schemes, preventing excess voltage or current.

As a rule, pulse devices are used in circuits in which flows the square wave signal. It often happens that such kind of devices used in television technology. They convert the small duration of the pulses of the video signal with a very high duty cycle. And the output you get a signal in its original form, but with increased amplitude.

Conclusion

transformer substation

Now you know what a transformer is. The types of transformers we looked and saw that they all have small differences, despite the fact that the structure is very similar. Please note that when working with any electrical equipment must comply with safety regulations. In addition, supporting the power grid AC, you must have a group access.
