A simple transformer.
● Alternatively, reducing the number secondary turns will reduce the
output voltage.
FIGURE 5.
● This means that you increase the number secondary turns you
will increase the output voltage. This includes equipment such water heaters, pumps for
showers and whirlpool baths.

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?

● The magnetic flux the core causes voltage induced the
secondary winding the transformers. Large power transformers, used electri-
cal distribution systems, can have efficiency better than 90%. This useful for low voltage supplies such domestic
bell transformers. Equipment

of moisture.
Very small transformers are used electronic applications. Small trans-
formers are used isolating transformers shaver sockets and can also
be used supply separated extra low voltage (SELV) sources.
