The three main types of transformers are:
- Step-Up Transformers:
- Step-up transformers increase the voltage level from the primary winding to the secondary winding.
- These transformers are commonly used in power transmission systems to step up the voltage for long-distance transmission, reducing energy losses during transmission.
- Step-Down Transformers:
- Step-down transformers decrease the voltage level from the primary winding to the secondary winding.
- These transformers are used in various applications such as residential, commercial, and industrial power distribution systems to step down the high-voltage electricity from the transmission lines to safer levels for use in homes and buildings.
- Isolation Transformers:
- Isolation transformers have equal turns on both primary and secondary windings, resulting in a one-to-one ratio between input and output voltage.
- They are primarily used to isolate circuits or equipment from the power source, providing electrical isolation and reducing the risk of electric shock, noise, and interference in sensitive electronic equipment
