Other Types of Transformers

Power Transformers

The most common type of transformer used for stepping up or stepping down voltages in electrical energy transmission and distribution.

Step-Up Transformer

A transformer that increases voltage from a lower level to a higher level, commonly used in power transmission.

Step-Down Transformer

A transformer that decreases voltage from a higher level to a lower level, used in distribution substations.

One-to-One Transformer

A transformer where the input voltage is equal to the output voltage.

Eddy Current

An electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field, which can cause energy loss.

Current Transformers (CTs)

Transformers used to measure and monitor current with high accuracy.

Isolation Transformer

A transformer used to isolate electrical circuits for safety and prevent electric shock.

Voltage Transformer

A transformer that reduces the voltage for measurement and monitoring purposes.

Earthing Transformer

A transformer used to provide a neutral point for balance and safety in electrical systems.

Shell-Type Transformer Core

A transformer core design that allows magnetic flux to circulate through two paths, improving efficiency.

Core-Type Transformer Core

A transformer core design that channels flux through one path, leading to potential loss of magnetic flux.
