Teacher’s Signature
Acknowledgement
I would like to express my special thanks of
gratitude to my teacher Mr. Vijay Bhushan as
well as our principal Mrs. Tripti Mawari who
gave me the golden opportunity to do this
wonderful project on the topic “Self Made
Transformer”, which also helped me in doing a
lot of Research and I came to know about so
many new things I am really thankful to them.
Secondly, I would also like to thank my parents
and friends who helped me a lot in finalizing
this project within the limited time frame.

Aim of Project
To investigate the relation between the
ratio of –
Iron Rods
Copper wire
Voltmetre
Ammeter
Circuit Diagram
Procedure
1. Take thick iron rod and cover it with a thick
paper and wind a large number of turns of thin
Cu wire on thick paper (say 60). This constitutes
primary coil of the transformer.
2. Cover the primary coil with a sheet of paper
and wound relatively smaller number of turns
(say 20) of thick copper wire on it. This
constitutes the secondary coil. It is a step down
transformer.
3. Connect p1, p2 to A.C main and measure the
input voltage and current using A.C voltmeter
and ammeter respectively.
4. Similarly, measure the output voltage and
current through s1and s2.
5. Now connect s1and s2to A.C main and again
measure voltage and current through primary
and secondary coil of step up transformer.
6. Repeat all steps for other self made
transformers by changing number of turns in
primary and secondary coil.
Uses of Transformer
1. In voltage regulator for T.V., refrigerator,
computer, air conditioner, etc.
2. A step down transformer is used for welding
purposes.
3. A step down transformer is used for obtaining
large current.
4. A step up transformer is used for the
production of X-Rays and NEON advertisement.
5. Transformers are used in voltage regulators
and stabilized power supplies.
6. Transformers are used in the transmissions of
a.c. over long distances.
7. Small transformers are used in Radio sets,
telephones, loud speakers and electric bells etc.
Conclusion
1. The output voltage of the transformer
across the secondary coil depends upon the
ratio (Ns/Np) with respect to the input
voltage.
Sources of Error
1. Values of current can be changed due to
heating effect.
