Learn about the working principles of a three-phase power transformer and its maintenance with this free online course. No transformer in practice is ideal since they all incur losses and this free online electrical engineering course covers the types of losses incurred by real transformers and how they can be minimized. The content covered will help you gain a thorough understanding of transformers, the working principles of a three-phase power transformer and its different configurations, as well as how transformers are constructed and protected from damage.
