Understanding Transformers: Efficiency, Regulation, Circuits

This course covers the comprehensive understanding of electrical transformers, focusing on their efficiency, regulation, and equivalent circuits. It delves into the concept of transformer efficiency, explaining how it varies with the degree of loading and power factor. It also introduces the concept of energy efficiency or all-day efficiency, particularly relevant for distribution transformers. The course further explores the concept of transformer regulation, explaining how it can be calculated and why it is important. It also provides a detailed explanation of how to calculate the regulation using the equivalent circuit referred to the primary side. An example of a well-designed transformer is used to illustrate the concept of regulation.
