Abstract
All industrialized countries depend on functioning and flawless power transmission and distribution at various voltage levels, which is achieved through the use of power transformers. This implies that power transformers are among the most important (and expensive) devices used in power transmission and distribution systems. Indeed, transformers are indispensable, as they are used to transition between voltage levels at the junctions of energy supply systems. A transformer failure can therefore cause an interruption in the power supply, which can have terrible consequences. However, many transformers remain in service for many decades without showing any notable malfunctions, and these devices are generally considered to be reliable and efficient. In this chapter, the fundamental design and functional principles of a power transformer are described in detail, differentiating between its active and passive parts. Power transformer testing is also discussed, referencing various international standards. Finally, various types of transformers are briefly introduced. Thus, the chapter provides a comprehensive overview of all the basic technical aspects of power transformers, although the servicing, maintenance, and asset management of transformers are only outlined here, as a more detailed discussion of these important topics would require an additional chapter.
