MAIN CONSTRUCTIONAL PARTS OF POWER TRANSFORMER

There are three main parts of a power transformer.

1. Primary winding of transformer – which produces magnetic flux when it is connected to electrical source.

2. Magnetic Core of transformer – the magnetic flux produced by the primary winding, will pass through this low reluctance path linked with secondary winding and creates a closed magnetic circuit.

3. Secondary Winding of transformer – the flux, produced by primary winding, passes through the core, will link with the secondary winding. This winding is also wound on the same core and gives the desired output of the transformer.
