Three-Phase Transformers: The Core Equipment for Efficient Power Transmission

I. Fundamental Concepts and Working Principles

As the “heart” of modern power systems, three-phase transformers enable efficient power transmission and voltage conversion through electromagnetic induction. Their core consists of three single-phase transformers in a common iron core structure, offering 20%-30% material cost savings compared to separate units. When three-phase AC current flows through the primary windings, it generates a rotating magnetic field with 120° phase displacement in the core, achieving flexible voltage conversion through precise winding ratio design.
