A transformer is a static electrical device that transfers energy by inductive coupling between its winding circuits. A varying current in the primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core and thus a varying magnetic flux through the secondary winding. This varying magnetic flux induces a varying electromotive force (EMF), or "voltage", in the secondary winding
In electrical engineering, two conductors are referred to as mutual-inductively coupled or magnetically coupled [1] when they are configured such that change in current flow through one wire induces a voltage across the ends of the other wire through electromagnetic induction. The amount of inductive coupling between two conductors is measured by their mutual inductance.
Transformers range in size from a thumbnail-sized coupling transformer hidden inside a stagemicrophone to huge units weighing hundreds of tons used in power plant substations or to interconnect portions of the power grid. All operate on the same basic principles, although the range of designs is wide.
The transformer is based on two principles: first, that an electric current can produce a magnetic field (electromagnetism) and second that a changing magnetic field within a coil of wire induces a voltage across the ends of the coil (electromagnetic induction). Changing the current in the primary coil changes the magnetic flux that is developed. The changing magnetic flux induces a voltage in the secondary coil.
An ideal transformer is shown in the figure below. Current passing through the primary coil creates a magnetic field. The primary and secondary coils are wrapped around a core of very high magnetic permeability, such as iron, so that most of the magnetic flux passes through both the primary and secondary coils. If a load is connected to the secondary winding, the load current and voltage will be in the directions indicated, given the primary current and voltage in the directions indicated (each will be

    Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. It is the force that causes the interaction between electrically charged particles; the areas in which this happens are called electromagnetic fields. It was discovered when it was observed that a copper wire carrying an electric current can magnetize pieces of iron or steel near it. An electromagnet is made from two components, a solenoid, and a ferromagnetic material. The solenoid is an insulated…

    The purpose of this experiment was to look at Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry showed in the 1830’s that a changing magnetic field could cause and induced emf electromotive force = voltage in a circuit. Practically, this means that when a copper pick-up coil is placed inside a solenoid whose magnetic field varies with time, current will flow in this coil even if there is no voltage source physically connected to it. This kind of induced emf is seen everywhere in the modern world in the propagation of light and radio waves, in transformers and generators, or in induction coils that give the spark for the car engine.…

    In electricity generation, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electric charge (usually carried by electrons) to flow through an external electrical circuit. It is analogous to a water pump, which causes water to flow (but does not create water). The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, compressed air or any other source of mechanical energy.…

    There is a link between electricity and magnetism. Electricity can produce magnetism and magnetism can produce electricity. This is why generators use magnets to get electricity moving. A magnet spins inside a coil of wire to get those free electrons moving around thus creating electricity. Generators can be very small or large depending on how much electricity is needed. A generator can be powered by a number of different sources including, but not limited to, wind, water, steam, heat, and other things.…

    A power transformer is an electrical machine used in reticulation/distribution networks which steps voltage up or down (according to network requirements) for the efficient supply of electricity to various connection points. The transformers vary in size and capacity – the bigger the capacity of transformation, the bigger the size. Manufacturing a transformer requires specialized machinery as well as hand craft – the bigger the size of a transformer, the more the hand craft. Transformer parts cannot be discretely tested, all parts (including accessories) have to be assembled into a complete transformer machine before testing its performance – this is mentioned to highlight the due diligence required. Manufacturing of large transformers is traditionally done in European countries and therefore delivery means moving the transformer from a manufacturing factory in Europe to a customer base in South Africa. It involves various mode of transportation, namely: railway, sea and road. From factory, the transformer is crane lifted onto a rail bed and moved to a harbour where it is hoisted onto a ship and transported to South Africa. From a South African harbour, a transformer is placed onto a low bed ‘abnormal’ vehicle and…
