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.
