2. The primary and secondary coils are wrapped around a core of
very high magnetic permeability, such as iron, so that most of the
magnetic flux passes through both the primary and secondary
coils.
Changing the current in the primary coil changes the magnetic
flux that is developed. The changing magnetic flux induces a
voltage in the secondary coil.

13. DESIGN OF CORES
For core type transformer the cross-section may be
(i) Rectangular
(ii) Square
(iii) Stepped
When circular coils are required for distribution and power transformers,
the square and stepped cores are used.
For shell type transformer the cross-section may be
Rectangular
14. The rectangular core is suitable for small and low voltage transformers.
In square cores the diameter of the circumscribing circle is larger than the
diameter of stepped cores of same area of cross-section.
Thus when stepped cores are used the length of mean turn of winding is
reduced with consequent reduction in both cost of copper & copper loss.
However with a large number of steps a large number of different sizes of
laminations have to be used. This results in higher labour charges for shearing
and assembling different types of laminations.

Ratios of area of core and circumscribing circle
The Area of circumscribing circle is more effectively utilised
by increasing the number of steps.
19. DESIGN OF WINDING
The transformer has one low voltage winding and one high voltage
winding.
The design of winding involves the determination of number of
turns & area of cross-section of the conductor used for winding.
The number of turns is estimated using voltage rating & emf per turns.
The area of cross- section is estimated using rated current & current
density.
Usually the number of turns of low voltage winding is estimated first
using the given data & it is corrected to nearest integer.
20. Then the number of turns of high voltage winding are chosen
to satisfy the voltage rating of the transformer.
Number of turns in low voltage winding , T1=V1/Et=AT/I1
Number of turns in high voltage winding , T2=T1*V2/V1
V1,V2 = Voltage in low & high values
Rated current in a winding = (KVA per phase*103)/Voltage
rating of the winding
