A transformer is a device that converts electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to one or more other circuits by increasing or lowering the voltage.
Transformers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with its own set of applications.
The core media, voltage levels, application, winding pattern, and other factors are used to categorize transformers.
The applications of the transformer include power transformers, distribution transformers, protection transformers, and measuring transformers.
Types of transformers
The two types of transformers are air core and iron core transformers, depending on the core media utilized.
Air core transfer: They are made of two or more coils twisted around a solid insulating material or around an insulating coil shape, and they are used to transmit radio-frequency currents or the currents used for radio transmission.
Iron core transfer: An iron core sometimes referred to as a magnetic core or magnetic core, is a part that creates inductance, a property that has electrical circuits or parts like coils. As a result, transformers also utilize it.
