  Understanding Electrical Transformers An electrical transformer is a critical component in electrical power systems, enabling the efficient transmission and distribution of electricity over long distances. Transformers adjust voltage levels to meet the needs of different parts of the electrical grid, ensuring safety and efficiency. In this blog, we will explore the fundamental components of a transformer and their significance. Core The core of a transformer is typically made of laminated silicon steel sheets. It serves as the magnetic pathway for the magnetic flux, which is essential for the process of electromagnetic induction. The core's primary function is to reduce energy losses by providing a low reluctance path for the magnetic flux, ensuring efficient operation. Significance: Reduces energy losses. Facilitates efficient magnetic flux flow. Minimizes eddy currents and hysteresis losses. Windings Transformers have two primary windings: the primary winding and the seco...
