Single phase and three phase transformers

In summary, this person has some good explanations of basic concepts in electricity and magnetism, but they are geared towards hobbyists and amateur scientists.

please suggest me simple and pecise notes or book for the above that can provide full concept in a very short span of time
perhaps this is not the homework.

full concept in a very short span of time

From what starting point? Do you know magnetics yet ?

Looking for "The easy way" always results in way more work than doing it right the first time.

Good luck...

search engine can be your friend. It tailors itself to you habits, knows how much time you spend at sites it suggested.

So search on keywords from transformer links. Soon it'll be delivering you content that is in line with your reading habits.

This fellow has very offbeat explanations of things electrical and his science is pretty good. http://amasci.com/ele-edu.html
You might find him interesting, but be warned he aims his writings toward hobbyists and amateur scientists not academia. Your professors may well scoff and it is with trepidation i mention him on PF.
He can however help one attain that intuitive "feel" for something that enables you to figure out the equations from basics rather than memorize them.

What is the difference between single phase and three phase transformers?

A single phase transformer has only one set of primary and secondary windings, whereas a three phase transformer has three sets of primary and secondary windings. This allows a three phase transformer to handle higher power loads and provides a more efficient distribution of power.

How does a single phase transformer work?

In a single phase transformer, an alternating current is passed through the primary winding, creating a varying magnetic field. This field induces a current in the secondary winding, which is then used to power devices.

What is the purpose of using a transformer in a circuit?

The primary purpose of a transformer is to change the voltage level of an electrical circuit. It can step up or step down the voltage, depending on the configuration of the windings.

What are the advantages of using a three phase transformer?

A three phase transformer can handle higher power loads, is more efficient, and has a more balanced output compared to a single phase transformer. It also requires less maintenance and has a longer lifespan.

What factors should be considered when selecting a transformer for a specific application?

The main factors to consider are the required voltage level, power load, efficiency, and frequency of the electrical system. Other factors may include the physical size and cost of the transformer.
