ECEG 4123 Electrical Machines: Transformer

The document discusses the key components and operating principles of a transformer. It consists of two windings wound on a common magnetic core, with AC voltage applied to the primary winding which induces an EMF in the secondary winding via mutual induction. The main components are the magnetic core made of laminated silicon steel, the primary and secondary windings, insulation, a conservator tank, bushings, and protective devices like a Buchholz relay and breather.
