What is a Transformer?
Transformer is an electrical tool that can be use
to move and change electrical energy from one
and more electrical circuit to a coupling of
magnet and based of electromagnetic induction

Some reasons for the use of Transformers, among
others:
1. The voltage generated by the source does not
match the voltage of the user
2. Usually the source is far from the wearer so it
needs high voltage (on network transmission)
3. Wearer/load needs require varying voltages
WHY TRANSFORMERS?
1. power supply
Application 2. Adapter
Mutual Induction
The transformer works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Basicly, the
transformer has 2 isolated coil, they called primary coil and secondary coil. Both of coils
are wrapped around an iron, it called iron core. When a alternating current flows through a
wire, it generates a magnetic flux all around it. The current in the first coil induces a
current in the second coil. The strength of the voltage is directly related to the size of the
electric current. So the bigger the current, the stronger the voltage.
Working of Transformer
Based on its function, transformer is divided into:
1. Transformer Radio
2. Transformer Measuring
a.Potential Transformer (PT)
b.Current Transformer (CT)
3. Power Transformer
Various Transformers
Transformer is an electronic component that serves to
deliver power / electric power from high voltage to low
voltage or reverse (transform voltage). A transformer
consists of two or more turns that are linked together
with a shared magnetic field.
The transformer works on the principle of
electromagnetic induction. The alternating input voltage
that spans the primer gives rise to magnetic fluxes which
ideally all connect with the secondary winding. This
alternating flux induces EMF in the secondary winding.
If efficiency is perfect, all the power in the primary
winding will be transferred to the secondary winding.
