INTRODUCTION
a transformer is an electrical device that takes a given input voltage and
changes it to a different output voltage. This change can either be an increase or a decrease in voltage. A single-phase transformer is a type of electrical transformer that operates with a single phase alternating current (AC) voltage input and output. It consists of two coils of wire, known as the primary and secondary windings, wound around a common magnetic core. The primary winding is connected to the source of AC voltage, while the secondary winding is connected to the load.
When an AC voltage is applied to the primary winding, it produces an
alternating magnetic field in the core, which induces a voltage in the secondary winding due to electromagnetic induction. The ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding determines the voltage transformation ratio of the transformer.
Single-phase transformers are commonly used in various applications,
such as in power distribution systems, voltage regulation, and in electrical appliances to step up or step down voltage levels while maintaining the frequency of the AC power supply.
