Transformers

The transformer is a static electric machine capable of lowering or raising the value of an alternating voltage.

It consists of a ferromagnetic material core around which are placed two windings called primary and secondary

It is used to power electrical consumers operating on alternating current with a voltage other than the 230 V mains voltage.

The primary winding is the one that is powered, while the secondary winding is the one that supplies power to the load.

For this reason, transformers can be voltage reducers or elevators depending on the purpose for which they were built.

The transformers are divided into single-phase, three-phase and three-phase transformers.
