I need to be educated on the rudiments of transformer

 

Hello,

Have a look at the links of these pages:

Introduction to Transformer - The Engineering Projects

Transformer works on the Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction. It is a process by which primary coil induces a voltage into secondary coil with the help of magnetic induction. The coil windings are electrically isolated and magnetically connected around a common circuit called core.

Things I remember about transformers:
The main purpose of a transformer is to change voltage from one level to another--you can change to a lower or higher voltage as desired.
Power supplied to a transformer must be alternating current--applying DC current gives you noise, smoke and fire...
Transformers for three-phase power must have three distinct windings....
Thanks for a chance to dig back in my memory banks.....
