Design Problem

Others think that we cannot imagine how life would be without gadgets, but do you ever think

that the question should be how would you live without the source of power for those devices? Yes

Electricity is one of the necessities even in the past. Today almost all of the devices that are used are

actually using transformers. Examples are TVs, computers, laptops, mobile phones etc... Sometimes

these devices malfunction due to voltage problems, aside from that most of these devices are

accompanied by the rating need for it to run either from higher voltage to lower voltage and vice-versa.

Nowadays most of the devices users dont know the essence of electricity behavior through their devices

and leads to malfunctioning or even cause to wear out these devices.

Principle and Discussion

Transformer is an electrical component which is essential on converting voltage to a higher or

lower value or even the same. It is a very simple stationary electromagnetic device that works in using

the principle of faradays law of induction by converting electrical energy to one another. The

transformer uses 2 magnetic circuits from the inside which are both wraps inside the core for it to induct

electricity which the core is accompanied by steel laminations to reduce loses in the core. The two

windings are isolated from one another but somehow connected through the means of magnetism

which allows the electricity commute from the primary winding to the secondary winding. It is when the

current flows into the primary winding a magnetic field is developed which induce voltage in the

secondary windings.

Procedures (include diagrams and pictures)

1. Decide upon on what method is to be used to compute for the rated values that are given.

2. Compute for the area of the bobbin to know how many turns will be needed for the primary and

secondary windings. It also determines the turns per volts ratio.

3. Determine the size, length and what type of wire will be used.

4. Know and prepare the materials that you will need in making a transformer

5. Wind the primary winding based on how many turns needed. Place insulation such as masking

tape or fish paper after winding the wires for the second winding.

6. Next, wind the secondary winding depending on how many turns needed based on your

calculations. You can wind it manually or use a rewinder to be more accurate in determining the

number of turns in your transformer. Again, place a fish paper to cover the primary winding.

7. After winding we can now put the E I cores in the transformer.

8. Place the core alternately, the E core then the I core. Use a hammer to be able to force in the

cores inside making it compressed and compact.

9. Secure the connection of the terminals to avoid sealing it inside the case.

10. Solder the terminals for easier connection outside the case.

11. Place shrinkable wire on the soldered part to insulate it

12. Mask the respective pairs of wires to determine the primary and secondary winding

13. Placing the cover

14. Use the bolts, nuts and washers to secure the core

15. Soldering fuse box on both primary and secondary side

16. Insulate the soldered parts using shrinkable wires

17. Test if the output of your transformer is correct. Then record the results.
