Which of the following part is not associated with the transformer?

A. Breather
B. Buchholz relay
C. Conservator
D. Exciter

Answer: D

Explanation:
The Exciter is not part of a transformer. It is used in DC machines.

Parts of the Transformer:
1.) Windings: 
Transformers have two windings: the primary winding and the secondary winding. 
The primary winding is the coil that draws power from the source. 
The secondary winding is the coil that delivers the energy at the transformed or changed voltage to the load

2.) Core:
​The transformer core is used to provide a controlled path for the magnetic flux generated in the transformer. 
It is used to transmit power from one source to another through electromagnetic induction.
 
3.) Conservator tank:
​The function of a conservator is to take up the contraction and expansion of oil without allowing it to come in contact with outside air.

4.) Breather:
Silica gel is used in breathers for controlling the level of moisture and prevents it from entering the equipment.
They are mainly useful in protecting the transformer oil from the damaging effects of moisture.

5.) Radiator:
The radiator accelerates the cooling rate of the transformer.
Thus, it plays a vital role in increasing the loading capacity of an electrical transformer.
