This includes equipment such water heaters, pumps for
showers and whirlpool baths.
Large power transformers need cooling take the heat generated away
from the core.
● The magnetic flux the core causes voltage induced the
secondary winding the transformers. Equipment

A simple transformer. This useful for low voltage supplies such domestic
bell transformers.
● Alternatively, reducing the number secondary turns will reduce the
output voltage. 5. This has application power
distribution.
FIGURE 5. Large power transformers, used electri-
cal distribution systems, can have efficiency better than 90%.
Very small transformers are used electronic applications.
● The voltage both the primary and secondary windings propor-
tional the number turns.

Have you seen any transformers action?
Were they big small what were they being used for?
Have you been close transmission tower, perhaps when you were walking
in the countryside?

● alternating voltage applied the primary winding establishes an
alternating magnetic flux the core. This often achieved totally immersing the core and
windings insulating oil. Because has moving parts, transformer can
have very high efficiency.
● This means that you increase the number secondary turns you
will increase the output voltage
