Transformer Core Design

The document describes the design of a 25 kVA, 3-phase, core type distribution transformer with an 11000/433 V rating and 50 Hz frequency. The design calculations determine the core dimensions, window dimensions, yoke dimensions and frame dimensions based on the transformer rating and design parameters. The core is designed with a flux density of 1.0 Tesla and the dimensions are approximated and displayed.
