Transformer Models Definition

Transformers cannot change voltage types, they will only operate on an AC voltage to build a changing magnetic field. With no direct electrical connection with the primary and the secondary coils.

What types of Transformers are available?

The different types of transformer are Current Transformer, Distribution Transformer, Instrument Transformer, Potential Transformer, Power Transformer, Single Phase Transformer, Step up and Stepdown Transformer, Step up and Stepdown Transformer, Uses of Distribution Transformer, etc. Reliable and excellent Transformers is something we can absolutely provide, there are high variations between the different transformers we have available. But as an example, some of the more common types we offer are： DIN Rail and Panel Mount Transformers, PCB Transformers, Lighting Transformers, Audio Transformers.

Frequently Asked Question

What are Current Transformers?

Current transformers are devices that sense current in a power system. They are commonly used in generating stations, electrical substations, and for industrial and commercial power distribution.

What is a Distribution Transformer?

A distribution transformer, also known as a service transformer, is used in the electric power distribution system. Its main role is to step down the voltage from the distribution lines to a level suitable for customers to use.

What does an Instrument Transformer do?

Instrument transformers are mainly used to operate instruments or meters from high-voltage or high-current circuits. They safely isolate the secondary control circuitry from those high voltages or currents.

What are Potential Transformers?

Potential transformers, also known as voltage transformers (VT or PT), are a type of instrument transformer connected in parallel. They're designed to place a very small load on the supply being measured while maintaining an accurate voltage ratio and phase relationship for precise metering on the secondary side.

What Is the Purpose of a Power Transformer?

A power transformer is a device that converts large amounts of electrical power from one frequency to another. It works by using an electromagnetic field to create a magnetic field in its metal coils, which stores electrical energy. This energy is then released back as an electric field when the device is turned on.

Power transformers are commonly used in the National Power Grid. They convert electricity from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). At a power plant, AC electricity can be transformed into DC, which is then transmitted over long distances using wires or a grid system.

What is a Single-Phase Transformer?

A single-phase transformer is a type of power transformer that uses single-phase alternating current (AC). This means it operates with a voltage cycle in a unified time phase. The working principle of a single-phase transformer is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

Do I Need a Step-Up or Step-Down Converter?

You'll need a step-down voltage transformer if you're traveling to a country where the power standard is higher than what your appliances use. On the other hand, if you're bringing appliances that run on 220–110 volts to the U.S. or Canada, you'll need a step-up voltage converter to change 110–120 volts up to 220–240 volts.
