You can construct a transformer, and it's not particularly difficult if you know what you are doing. It's not possible to give you detailed instructions without knowing what type of transformer you need, and the answer to that depends on what it's for. A transformer consists of two coils of wire, electrically insulated from each other but magnetically coupled. How the coupling is done depends mostly on the frequency of operation. For electric power ( 50 or 60 Hz ) the coupling must be very tight, so the coils are wound onto an iron core. For audio frequencies you would generally do the same, although a ferrite core is a possibility. For radio frequencies, the transformer would be wound on a ferrite core if you need tight coupling for power transfer. Otherwise it might be wound without a core (usually referred to as an air-cored transformer). Please repost the question, saying what the transformer is intended to do.

How do you design a transformer with three phase 400v input and single phase 2000v output?

By design are you going to wind the transformer yourself? In your design you need a 5:1 ratio. On the output side of the transformer any two legs of a three phase transformer is considered single phase voltage. Good luck on your project.

What is the elementary theory of an ideal transformer?

A transformer can never be an ideal device to transfer power. Its inherent design has limitations caused by losses WITHIN the device itself.


What is the footprint of the transformer foundation?

The footprint of a transformer foundation depends on the size and weight of the transformer, as well as the specific design requirements to support and securely hold the transformer in place. Typically, the foundation will be sized to provide adequate support and stability for the transformer, as well as to distribute the weight evenly across the ground to prevent sinking or shifting.

What is unit transformer?

UniT transformer are step up transformer which is connected to generating house & step up voltage from 11/15kV votlage to 220/400kV voltage level as requirement or line design parameter. It is just like transformer but connected to unit of the generating house that's why we called it unit transformers.


What is meant by the optimal design of power transformer?

It depends on the purpose - do you want the transformer to be low loss? As small as possible? to be able to withstand large power surges? as quiet as possible? To be able to operate for a wider than normal range of frequencies?Power transformer design is a very big topic. Many engineers spend their entire careers dedicated to optimizing transformers for specific purposes.
