A one-day Industrial Visit to Vijay power control systems, Bangalore, was organized by the Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, on 24th January 2024 for 5th semester. 32 students visited the lab accompanied by faculty members, Dr. Elenchezhiyan and Prof. Bini babu.
Mr. Prabhakar, senior electrical engineer, Transformer design and manufacturing, Vijay power control systems, Bangalore explained about the various types of transformers such as core type and shell type transformer. One of the major differences between the core type and the shell type transformers is that in core type transformer, the winding encircles the core, whereas, in shell type transformer, the core encircles the winding of the transformer. This industry is mainly designing the core type transformer. Laminated C.R.G.O (Cold-rolled grain-oriented sheet steel) is used to form the core in order to avoid the hysteresis losses and eddy loss in the core.
