Understanding Transformer Structure: Key Components and Design Explained
Body:
Transformers play a vital role in power distribution, and their internal structure determines their performance and reliability. A standard transformer consists of the following main components:
Core: Made of laminated silicon steel sheets to reduce energy loss and provide a magnetic path.
Windings (primary and secondary): Copper or aluminum coils that transfer energy through electromagnetic induction.
Insulation: Prevents electrical faults and ensures safe operation.
Oil Tank: Usually contains oil (oil-immersed transformers) to dissipate heat and protect internal parts.
Oil Conservator and Vent (Oil-immersed Transformers): Maintains oil level and prevents moisture intrusion.
Cooling System: Air or oil-based system used to control heat.
Bushing: Insulated terminals for external electrical connections.
Understanding these components helps engineers and maintenance teams ensure optimal operation and life of the transformer.
