All Parts Of Transformer & How Does A Transformer Work?

All Parts of Transformer

Transformers are one of the most critical components of the electrical power grid. They are used to convert between different voltage levels and regulate electricity flow. This blog post will look at all the other parts of a transformer and how they work together.

Types of Losses in a Transformer

A transformer brings in various types of losses, to name all of them, here is the list:

  1. Hysteresis Loss
  2. Iron Loss
  3. Eddy Current Loss
  4. Copper Loss
  5. Stray Loss
  6. Dielectric Loss

Here we have explained all of them in detail, so hook on till the end of the article to know more about Laxmi Associates. 

1. Hysteresis Loss

The cause behind this loss is known to be the magnetization variation in the transformer’s core. As it is subjected to an alternating magnetizing force, a hysteresis loop is traced out for each cycle of emf. the power wasted in the form of heat known as hysteresis loss

2. Iron Losses

Also known as the core loss, iron loss occurs due to the alternating flux inside the transformer’s core. The iron loss goes on further to be classified as hysteresis and eddy current loss.

3. Eddy Current Loss

During the flux in the transformer, they tend to link with a closed circuit,  through which an emf is produced in the course and the current flows. The EMFs flow currents in the body as it is made of conducting material. These flowing currents are called Eddy Currents. While the conductor changes the magnetic fields, the eddy currents occur.

4. Copper Loss Or Ohmic Loss

The heat produced during the electrical current passing is known as copper loss. This current flows through the conductors of transformer windings. Hence the term winding loss is often preferred. Copper losses alter as the square of the load current.

5. Stray Loss

Look for any leakage fluxes in the transformer, which leads to stray loss. They can take place in any part of the transformer, which is why it is called a stray loss. The number of stray losses is relatively small compared to iron and copper losses to be neglected.

6. Dielectric Loss

Any loss that occurs in the insulating materials of the transformer is called Dielectric loss. It is found in the oil of the transformer or the solid insulations. Suppose it happens when the oil used in the transfer is old and destroyed to be used. This can also take place if the insulation gets damaged or is of poor quality. All of these affect the efficiency and working conditions of transformers.

Testing of Induction Motor: Know the Methods

Testing of Induction Motor
An induction motor, mainly the three-phased squirrel cage induction motor, is used extensively in industrial fields. The reason behind this wide usage of induction motors is because of their properties such as:
  1. Self-starting
  2. Reliable 
  3. Economical
Other than the single-phase induction motors are used for small loads that are used for household applications.  It is evident that day by day, the cost of energy is rising at its peak. And so, it becomes crucial to determine all the parameters of large induction motors. Induction motors are tested by several means of Testing of Induction Motor.

Transformer Colling Method

Cooling of transformers is a process where the heat generated is treated back to a safe value. The cooling of transformers is done through various methods. 

The primary reason for transformer heat up is the loss of eddy current, iron, copper loss, and hysteresis. Out of all the major reasons behind the transformer’s heating up is the copper loss known as I2R loss.
