Distribution transformer is a transformer used to convert the electricity of higher voltage (22-33
kv) to a lower voltage (250-433 v). It is a poll type transformer used for supplying relatively low
voltage to residential areas. Distribution transformers are created in various capacities ranging
from 50 Hz to 400 Hz. However, 400 Hz capacity distribution transformers are used mainly for
heavy power consumption areas like aerospace and military applications.
The distribution transformer is at the edge of the power distribution system. Simply saying, after
passing through all the processes the power or electricity finally passes through the distribution
transformer before reaching your house. It is the distribution transformer which transforms the
power into that particular range which is suitable for your household equipments to function
properly.
