Transformer working principles course,
in this course you'll dive into the essential concepts behind transformers, learning how they transfer electrical energy between circuits through electromagnetic induction. Starting with the basic structure of a transformer, including primary and secondary windings and the core, you'll explore how voltage is increased or decreased based on turns ratio, which makes transformers vital for efficient power distribution. The course covers key types of transformers, such as step-up, step-down, isolation, and autotransformers, and their specific applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
You’ll learn the underlying principles of Faraday’s Law of Induction and how transformers utilize magnetic fields to create voltage changes without physical connection between circuits. Practical sections will guide you through calculations for turns ratio, power efficiency, and load handling to ensure optimal performance. The course also emphasizes troubleshooting techniques for common transformer issues, such as overheating, core saturation, and insulation breakdown.
