StarStarStarStar

Step-down Transformer

StarStarStarStar

Decreases the voltage from primary to secondary, commonly used in distribution networks to supply residential and commercial loads.

StarStarStarStar

Autotransformer

StarStarStarStar

A type of transformer with only one winding, where a portion of the winding is common to both high-voltage and low-voltage sides; more economical and compact than dual-winding transformers.

StarStarStarStar

Instrument Transformer

StarStarStarStar

Specialized transformer used in power systems for measuring voltage (potential transformer) or current (current transformer), ensuring safety and standardization in reading instruments.

StarStarStarStar

Step-up Transformer

StarStarStarStar

Increases the voltage from primary to secondary, often used in power transmission systems to reduce transmission losses over long distances.

StarStarStarStar

Power Transformer

StarStarStarStar

Used to step-up or step-down voltage in power transmission networks; has high efficiency and is designed for continuous operation at rated load.

StarStarStarStar

Isolation Transformer

StarStarStarStar

Designed to decouple two circuits, allowing AC power to be taken from one device and fed into another without electrically connecting the two circuits; often used to protect against electric shocks.

StarStarStarStar

Current Transformer

StarStarStarStar

Used for measuring large currents, often used in metering and protective relays in the electrical power industry by providing a secondary current that is accurately proportional to the current flowing in its primary.

StarStarStarStar

Distribution Transformer

StarStarStarStar

Used to provide final voltage transformation in the electric power distribution system, stepping down the voltage used in the distribution lines to the level used by the customer.

StarStarStarStar

Three-phase Transformer

StarStarStarStar

Used in three-phase power systems and can be constructed either by connecting together three single-phase transformers or by using a single three-phase transformer; provides balanced power for large motors and loads.

StarStarStarStar

Toroidal Transformer

StarStarStarStar

A transformer with a toroidal (ring or donut-shaped) core, known for its efficiency and lower electromagnetic interference; commonly used in medical equipment and high-quality audio amplifiers.
