Повышающий трансформатор: Принцип работы, конструкция и промышленное применение

In modern power systems, step-up transformers play a vital role in transmitting electrical energy efficiently over long distances. Whether used in power generation stations or renewable energy systems, they ensure voltage levels are increased to minimize energy loss. As a trusted производитель повышающих трансформаторов, ZHENGXI provides reliable single-phase and three-phase solutions designed for heavy-duty industrial environments.

What Is a Step-Up Transformer?

A повышающий трансформатор is an electrical device that increases the voltage from its primary winding to its secondary winding while maintaining the same power level (ignoring small losses). It converts low-voltage, high-current input into high-voltage, low-current output — essential for efficient power transmission.

For example, a 220V input can be stepped up to 380V or higher, depending on the application.
In industrial systems, three-phase step-up transformers are commonly used for large power loads, while single-phase step-up transformers are preferred for smaller machines and laboratory equipment.

Working Principle

Step-up transformers operate based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.
When alternating current (AC) passes through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field in the iron core. This magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the secondary winding. Since the secondary coil has more turns than the primary coil, a higher voltage is generated on the output side.

Формула: V1 / V2 =N1 / N2

V1= Primary voltage
𝑉2= Secondary voltage
𝑁1= Number of turns in the primary winding
𝑁2 = Number of turns in the secondary winding

Construction Details

1. Ядро

The core is made of laminated silicon steel or ferrite materials to minimize eddy current losses. High magnetic permeability allows magnetic flux to pass efficiently, improving transformer performance and reducing heating.

2. Обмотки

The primary and secondary windings are usually made of copper or aluminum conductors.

• Copper windings: Offer higher conductivity and mechanical strength.
• Aluminum windings: Provide a lighter and cost-effective option.

In a step-up transformer, the secondary winding has more turns than the primary to achieve voltage increase.

3. Система охлаждения

Depending on the rating, step-up transformers may use air cooling (dry-type) или oil immersion systems to maintain temperature stability during continuous operation.

Types of Step-Up Transformers

1. Single-Phase Step-Up Transformer
   • Ideal for residential, small-scale industrial, and testing applications.
   • Compact design and easy installation.
   • Used in voltage converters, stabilizers, and backup power systems.
2. Three-Phase Step-Up Transformer
   • Designed for power plants, substations, and manufacturing facilities.
   • Ensures balanced load distribution and higher efficiency.
   • Common configurations include delta-star (Δ-Y) or star-delta (Y-Δ).

Key Industrial Applications
