Applications of Transformer
The following are some of the most common uses for transformer:
- Increasing or reducing the voltage level in an AC circuit to ensure the correct operation of the circuit’s various electrical components.
- It stops DC from flowing from one circuit to another.
- It separates two separate electric circuits.
- Before transmission and distribution can take place, the voltage level at the electric power plant must be increased.
Step-Up and Step-Down Transformers: Simulation and Calculations
The transformer is the simplest device that is used to transfer electrical energy from one alternating-current circuit to another circuit or multiple circuits, through the process of electromagnetic induction. A transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction to step up or step down voltage. The transformer either increases AC voltage (Step-up transformer) or decreases AC voltage (Step-down transformer).
A transformer which is normally utilized in the transmission and distribution of alternating current power is a voltage control device. Transformers are used for a wide range of purposes, including increasing the voltage from electric generators to enable long-distance transmission of electricity and decreasing the voltage of conventional power circuits to run low-voltage devices like doorbells and toy electric trains.
