transformer?
For the industrial electrical industry and some other fields, a transformer is
an indispensable device. The transformer is widely used to solve electrical
problems. Today, Vietnamtransformer will join you in learning about the
transformer's primary classification to better understand this equipment.

Like many other electrical devices, there are many ways to classify types of
transformer
Based on phase, we will divide into two types of transformers that is single-
phase transformers and three-phase transformers
According to the function, there are Step-up transformers and Step down
transformers
According to the usage: power transformers,distribution transformer,
isolation transformer
Based on windings, we have Two Winding Transformers and
Autotransformers.
Based on core design, we have Core Type Transformer, Shell Type
Transformer, and Berry Type Transformer.
a. A core type transformer has two cylinders and two horizontal bars
forming the frame. The magnetic core is a square form with a common
magnetic circuit. The cylindrical coils (HV and LV) are located on two
cylinders.
b. Shell type transformer has a center cylinder and two outer cylinders.
Both the HV and LV coils of it are located on a center column. This
transformer has a dual magnetic circuit.
c. Berry type transformer: Magnetic circuit looks like a wheel. The metal
shell is tightly fixed and filled with oil inside.
2. Types of transformers based on voltage conversion
a. Step-up transformer
The step-up transformer helps the voltage increase on the output side
because the number of turns on the secondary is always more than the
number of turns on the primary. A high voltage is developed on the
secondary side of the transformer.
b. Step-down transformer
For many regions, the voltage is reduced to 440v / 230v for safety reasons,
so the number of turns on the secondary is less than the primary ones;
Less voltage is generated at the transformer's output (secondary) end.
3. Types of transformers based on their purpose
a. Power Transformer
The transformer is loaded for 24 hours at the transmission station; thus, the
core and copper loss will occur for the whole day. The power transformer is
cost-effective when the power is generated at low voltage levels. If the
voltage level is raised, then the current of the power transformer is
reduced, resulting in I2R losses and the voltage regulation is also
increased.
b. Distribution Transformer
c. Isolation Transformer
Any point on the secondary coil has a voltage of zero relatives to the
ground. So when we touch any point on the secondary winding, there will
be no shock. The voltage is different in the 2 points of the secondary
winding, which is the most significant advantage of the isolation
transformer. It helps to reduce the risk of electrical leakage in the device
housing and provides safety during use.
Each primary or secondary winding has a different volt-ampere
characteristic according to the ratio of turns on the primary and secondary
districts.
d. Instrument Transformers
The current transformer is used for measuring electricity and also for
protection. When the current is high to apply directly to the measuring
instrument, the current transformer is used to transform the high current
into the current required value in the circuit.
f. Potential Transformer
b. Auto-transformer shares the same turns (of wire) between the input and
the output connections. The primary and secondary winding are not
electrically insulated.
We have two types of the dry-type transformer, that is Cast Resin Dry Type
Transformer (CRT) and Vacuum pressure Impregnated Transformer (VPI)
b. Oil ImmersedTransformer
We hope the above information will answer your question about the types
of transformer.

What is a Transformer?
Contents show
A transformer is a device used in power transmission to transfer electrical
energy from one electrical circuit to another, or in multiple circuits at a time. In
other words, it is a voltage control device that is widely used in the distribution
and transmission of AC power.
These are made to increase or decrease the AC voltage between the circuits
while controlling the frequency of the current by creating a conductive
connection between the two circuits. This is done through the application
of Faraday’s law of induction which states that “the magnitude of the induced
voltage in a coil is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux which
cuts across the coil”.
Transformers can also be used for isolation, where voltage is equal to the
voltage output, with the individual coils not electrically tied to each other. A
wide range of transformer designs and sizes are located in electronic and
electric power applications.
