Classification of transformer

Transformer can be classified in different ways depending on variety parameter.


Based on the number of phases


  • Single phase transformer
  • Three phase transformer

Based on voltage raising


  • Step up transformer
  • Step down transformer

Based on core


  • Core type transformer
  • Shell type transformer

Based on winding


  • Two winding transformer
  • Auto transformer

Based on cooling


  • Liquid filled transformer
  • Gas filled transformer
  • Dry type transformer

Based on application


  • Power transformer
  • Distribution transformer
  • Instrument transformer
