Transformer winding layout

 Transformer windings are another important part of the transformer structure because they are the main current-carrying conductors wound on the laminated part of the core. As shown in the figure, in a single-phase two-winding transformer, there will be two windings. The one that is connected to the voltage source and generates magnetic flux is called the primary winding, and the second winding is called the secondary winding. The result of mutual inductance is the induced voltage.


If the secondary output voltage is less than the primary input voltage, the transformer is called a "step-down transformer". If the secondary output voltage is greater than the primary input voltage, it is called a "boost transformer".

The type of wire used as the main current-carrying conductor in the transformer winding is copper or aluminum. Although aluminum wire is lighter and generally cheaper than copper wire, it must use a larger conductor cross-sectional area to carry the same current as copper, so it is mainly used in large power transformer applications.

Small kVA power supplies and voltage transformers used in low-voltage electrical and electronic circuits tend to use copper conductors because they have higher mechanical strength and smaller conductor sizes than equivalent aluminum types. The downside is that these transformers will be heavier when their core is completed.

Transformer windings and coils can be roughly divided into concentric coils and sandwich coils. In the core transformer configuration, the windings are usually arranged concentrically around the core leg as shown above, where the higher voltage primary winding is wound on the lower voltage secondary winding.

Sandwich or "pancake" coils are composed of spirally wound flat conductors, named after the conductors are arranged in a disc. The alternating disks are spirally arranged in a staggered manner from the outside to the center, and the individual coils are stacked together and separated by insulating materials (such as plastic paper). Sandwich coils and windings are more common in shell core structures.

Helical winding, also known as spiral winding, is another very common cylindrical coil device used in low-voltage and high-current transformer applications. The winding is composed of a large cross-section rectangular conductor wound on its side. The insulated strands are continuously wound in parallel along the length of the cylinder, and suitable spacers are inserted between adjacent turns or discs to make the parallel strands The circulating current between is the smallest. The coil extends outward in a spiral shape, similar to the spiral of a corkscrew.

The insulating layer that prevents the conductor from short-circuiting in the transformer is usually a layer of varnish or enamel in an air-cooled transformer. Apply this thin varnish or enamel paint to the wire and then wrap it around the core.

In larger power supplies and distribution transformers, the conductors are insulated from each other using oil-impregnated paper or cloth. Immerse and seal the entire iron core and winding in a protective tank filled with transformer oil. Transformer oil is used both as an insulator and as a coolant.

What are the reasons for the hot sales of climbing scaffolding

  Climbing scaffolding  have become synonymous with high-rise buildings and super high-rise buildings, and climbing scaffolding sales have become a popular choice in the construction industry. Some people have conducted in-depth and detailed investigations on the functional selection of climbing scaffolding sales, and found that climbing scaffolding is an indispensable protective equipment for construction buildings. Now I will briefly explain the reasons why climbing scaffolding sales are so popular: 1. Quality details keep improving According to market feedback, the sales volume of climbing scaffolding has gradually broken the original record of scaffolding in recent years. Because the crawling net is made of metal plate punching, its deflection and safety sealing are completely determined according to industry standards. The durable quality of its metal plate also has a good reputation in the industry, which promotes The quality details of the climbing scaffolding are more ...

The benefits of a windproof umbrella

There are actually many different umbrellas to choose from, thousands of them. There are small and compact umbrellas, larger golf umbrellas in hand, weak frame, strong frame, ventilated canopy, auto open auto close umbrella , manual open umbrella...the list is endless. How to make it very easy to choose a sturdy and reliable protective umbrella, this article focuses on the introduction. What does windproof mean? A common misunderstanding is that the term "windproof" in the umbrella world means that the umbrella crown will remain firm and not turn outward. This is not the case! In practice, this means that the frame is designed in a flexible way that can disperse the wind slightly. If the situation is particularly windy, design the frame to flip from the inside to the outside. The key point is that the frame will not break, but is designed to flip from the inside to the outside, and then return to normal without breaking. You can think of the frame as a sail on a boat, which c...
