Transformer Theory and Application

Course Overview

This course provides an in-depth exploration of the theory and practical applications of transformers in electrical engineering. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles behind transformer operation, design, and performance analysis. The course covers both single-phase and three-phase transformer systems, their construction, operating characteristics, and efficiency analysis.

Key topics include the electromagnetic principles governing transformer function, core materials, winding configurations, and the impact of load variations on voltage regulation. Advanced topics explore the operation of autotransformers, special transformer types, and their applications in power transmission and distribution systems. In addition to theoretical concepts, students will engage in practical analysis, including fault diagnosis, maintenance procedures, and efficiency optimization techniques.

This course is essential for students pursuing careers in power systems, electrical distribution, and electrical machinery, providing both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience required to design, operate, and troubleshoot transformers effectively.
