AIM: - To design and fabricate single phase transformer.
COMPONENTS USED IN CONSTRUCTION OF TRANSFORMER:-
1 Silicon steel core ( Iron core) It made off silicon coated Steel stampings (E & I Shaped )(The
capacity will decide the core size)
2 In centre of he core a bob in is fixed, In this primary & secondary windings wire are wound.
3 Winding wire made of super enameled copper wire we have to select the size according to the
capacity of primary & secondary current & voltage Standard wire size & current will be
available in Tables.
4 No of turns are calculated according to the size of centre Limp area of the core (8 turns / 1
square inch / Volt) my old thumb rule (According to the quality of core it will change)
5 If you want to design 240/ 12 volts x 48VA If your core centre limp size is 2 square Inch
Primary winding Approximately 960-1000 turns. Secondary 48-50 turns.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:-
Design Procedures for a Single-Phase Transformer:-
1. Identify Technical Specifications of the Transformer:

Input voltage (V1)
Output voltage V2
Rated output apparent power S (VA) or output current (S=V2*I2)
Rated frequency (Hz)
Rectifier circuit topology (bridge, half-bridge, and full-wave center tap)
Number of phases (single-phase or three-phase)
Voltage regulation ΔV% (%).
2. Conduct Basic Steps of Calculations
:Step 1: Core size estimation

1) Select current density J (2.5 - 4 A/mm2).
2) Select voltage regulation ΔV% (5% - 20%).
3) From Figure 1, select no-load magnetic flux density 0 B (T) at the “knee point” of the B-H curve.
