Description

This course introduces the fundamentals and working principles of power transformers, machines used to increase or decrease AC voltage levels while producing a corresponding decrease or increase in current. It explains why transformers are important in electrical energy transmission and distribution and introduces their static construction and high efficiency.

The course begins with the fundamentals of electromagnetic induction, explaining how a changing magnetic flux linking a coil induces a voltage. It also examines the factors affecting induced voltage, including the number of turns, magnetic field strength, and rate of change of magnetic flux.
