Abstract
Power transformers are key elements of a high voltage electrical transmission grid, which adapt voltage levels to the different needs of electric power users at constant power (disregarding the losses). This electrical machine is classically constructed out of copper, steel, paper and insulating oil. All those materials are made into different components. The main ones are the windings, tap changing system, core, tank and bushings. The components are assembled together to produce a power transformer. Power transformers are developed worldwide using a few basic designs established almost a century ago, that can be largely adapted for many special applications
