Procedure
TASK 1 : Identify primary & secondary of transformer
1 Collect the Tools, equipments and materials required for experiment.
2 Draw the connection diagram of single phase transformer.
3 Check and identify primary & secondary windings and type of core of transformers.
4 Check the primary & secondary voltage rating of transformers in the name plate.
5 Identify the step up OR step down transformer as per primary & secondary voltage ratings.
TASK 2 : Connecting step up transformer and measure transformation ratio
1 Make the connection of step up transformer as per circuit diagram.
2 Check the connections and connect the transformer to the supply through the variac.
3 Switch ON the supply and record the primary & secondary voltages.
4 Switch OFF the supply and disconnect the transformer.
5 Calculate the transformation ratio of transformer as per equation.
