What is Transformer?
A transformer is a static electrical device used to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. It typically converts high-voltage electricity from power lines into lower voltages suitable for residential or commercial use, or vice versa, depending on the application.
In residential and commercial electrical systems, transformers are essential for safely distributing electricity. For example, utility companies use large transformers to step down the voltage before it enters a home, ensuring compatibility with standard appliances and lighting. Electricians often install smaller transformers for low-voltage lighting or specialized equipment, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
