Question

Name the device used to increase the voltage at a generating station.

Answer 1

• A transformer is a device used in the power transmission of electric energy. The transmission current is AC.
• It is commonly used to increase or decrease the supply voltage without a change in the frequency of AC between circuits.
• The transformer works on basic principles of electromagnetic induction and mutual induction.
• Thus transformer is the device used to increase the voltage at a generating station.
