What is a Berry Type Transformer?
Berry Type Transformer Definition
A berry type transformer is defined as a transformer with a core resembling the spokes of a wheel, known for its distributed magnetic circuit.
Core Design
The core has multiple magnetic flux paths, creating more leakage flux and reducing efficiency compared to core and shell-type transformers.
Cooling Mechanism
The transformer’s coils are kept cool by circulating transformer oil inside a tightly fitted metal tank, which also provides additional insulation.
Usage
Berry type transformers are mainly used for high-capacity applications due to their efficient heat distribution and unique core design.
Diagram
The diagram shows HV and LV windings wound on the core, highlighting the multiple paths available for the magnetic circuit.
