Question

what do you mean by transformer ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A transformer is an electrical apparatus designed to convert alternating current from one voltage to another. It can be designed to "step up" or "step down" voltages and works on the magnetic induction principle. ... A voltage is then induced in the other coil, called the secondary or output coil.

Answer 2

$\huge{\fbox{\fbox{\pink{What⠀is⠀a⠀transformer?}}}}$

A transformer can be defined as a static device which helps in the transformation of electric power in one circuit to electric power of the same frequency in another circuit. The voltage can be raised or lowered in a circuit, but with a proportional increase or decrease in the current ratings.

$\huge{\fbox{\fbox{\purple{Types}}}}$

1) Core- Type Transformer:

In core-type transformer, the windings are given to a considerable part of the core. The coils used for this transformer are form-wound and are of cylindrical type. Such a type of transformer can be applicable for small sized and large sized transformers. In the small sized type, the core will be rectangular in shape and the coils used are cylindrical

2) Shell-Type Transformer:

In shell-type transformers the core surrounds a considerable portion of the windings. The coils are form-wound but are multi layer disc type usually wound in the form of pancakes. Paper is used to insulate the different layers of the multi-layer discs. The whole winding consists of discs stacked with insulation spaces between the coils. These insulation spaces form the horizontal cooling and insulating ducts. Such a transformer may have the shape of a simple rectangle or may also have a distributed form.
