Shivam Kumar submitted a report to Mr. Akshay Agnihotri comparing shell type and core type transformers. Shell type transformers can reduce leakage reactance by easily subdividing windings using a sandwich coil approach. The report also included assumptions and formulas for calculating the winding leakage reactance of a 3-phase core type transformer, as well as discussing factors considered in selecting winding types for transformer design such as electrical characteristics, mechanical strength, and construction simplicity.
