I used to think a transformer was just that big box hanging on an electric pole-until I discovered how many types there actually are in the power system world
From power transformers in massive substations to distribution transformers lighting up our homes and from instrument transformers (CT & PT) used for protection and metering to single-phase transformers powering rural areas -each plays a vital role in delivering safe and efficient electricity. In this post, I've shared a visual guide covering the types of transformers, their voltage levels, and applications-explained in a simple and clear way for students, engineers, and enthusiasts
