The document discusses types, working principles, and construction of transformers. It describes two types of transformers based on construction: core type and shell type. Transformers can also be classified as step-up or step-down depending on their purpose. The working principle relies on Faraday's law of induction where a changing magnetic flux induces voltage in coils. Key parts include laminated cores, windings, and insulating materials. Transformers operate by changing voltage levels while conserving power based on the turns ratio between primary and secondary coils. Common uses include applications requiring voltage regulation.
