Today we will discuss the basics of transformers; what they are, what they do, and what they're made of. We will also do a quick continuity test and megger the transformer.
In this video we use a 5 kv a transformer that is 480 volts on the primary and it steps down to 120/240. There's a number of different types of transformers there's step-down transformers and step-up transformers. What they do is they take one voltage and either step it up to a larger voltage or they take the voltage and they step it down to a smaller voltage.
There's single-phase transformers, 3 phase transformers, dry type and there's oil-filled. There are many different types of transformers but in this video we used a single phase so it had the two windings, most three phases (not all) will have three windings.
