Question
Explain necessity of transformer for power transmission and distribution.
Open in App
Solution
Transformer is the foremost reason that most of the
electric power transmission in the world today is in the form of AC instead of
DC. This is because transformer cars easily step down or step up voltages which
is essential for the efficient electric power transmission. Stepping up
voltages to higher voltages before transmission at the generator end greatly
reduces I2R losses over long distance. And it can be easily stepped down
using transformer to required lower voltages at the consumer end.
