Transformer Assembling Plant

Abstract

The transformer was first produced by Varley ill 1856 by making a bundle of iron wires and then winding insulated copper wires around it. It is now produced in capacity up to 800KV class for use in the alternating current transmission. The transformer is an essential electrical equipment in power transmission and distribution, with its demand steadily increasing as industries expand in respective scales and the demand for power in general households also increase. The transformer industry has been rapidly growing, particularly with the development of large-capacity generators (l00,000 KW) and electric motors since around 1910 when such related element industries as the metal and machine industries began to advance. However, with the development of the electronics industry in the 1960s, emphasis has been placed in the electric equipment industry on such new system industrial equipment as computers and other ultra-precision electric control equipment for use in both nuclear energy and space industries,
