4 Credits
Prerequisites ELLW 1130 

Co-Requisites ELLW1162

This course covers the theory and applications of transformer principles of magnetic and electrical circuits for primary and secondary connections. Understanding of polarities, types and possibilities of connections, with the needed information for choosing the loading, transformer types and sizes, and the fusing of the same.

Learning Outcomes
Define and identify Wye and Delta primary and secondary connections, polarity, coil ratings and installation.

Determine winding ratio, overload capabilities, fusing size, and grounding requirements

Single phase transformer installation, over voltage and current protection, nameplate identification, and trouble shooting.

Identify series and parallel coil connections and secondary series and parallel bus connections.
