Abstract

Transformers are used in the electrical networks everywhere: in power plants, substations, industrial plants, buildings, data centres, railway vehicles, ships, wind turbines, in the electronic devices, the underground, and even undersea. The focus of this article is on transformers applied in the transmission of energy, usually called power transformers. Due to very versatile requirements and restrictions in the numerous applications, ranging from a subsea transformer to a wind turbine transformer, a small distribution transformer to a large phase shifter transformer, it is very difcult to organise a structured overview of the transformer types. Also, different companies supply different markets and each have their own classifcation of the transformers, which makes the transformer family even more difcult to organise. This paper will attempt to provide a relatively common point of view on most of those transformers types.
