Core Type Transformer Construction Guide

I. Core type transformers are simpler in design and easier to assemble and insulate compared to other transformer types. They produce large electromagnetic forces when windings carry currents in opposite directions. II. The value of maximum flux density is typically 1.25-1.45 tesla for power transformers made of hot rolled silicon steel. Higher flux density allows for a smaller core area but increases iron losses and temperature rise. III. A distribution transformer is designed with a lower flux density to reduce iron losses and improve efficiency for all-day use. Flux density value also depends on the transformer's service conditions.

Mechanical considerations
Thermal consideration
Window Space Factor: It is the ratio of
copper area in the window to the total
window area.
Kw= 8/(30+kV)for rating about 20 kVA
Design of Yoke:The section of yoke can
either be taken as rectangular or it may be
stepped.
