Power transformers or electric power transformers are static electrical devices used to transfer energy between circuits through electromagnetic induction. It is used to increase or decrease the voltage of alternating current (AC) while maintaining the same frequency. Power transformers are essential components in electrical power systems, enabling efficient transmission and distribution of electricity across long distances. They are also widely used in various industrial and commercial applications to provide the appropriate voltage levels for different equipment and devices.
In some cases, the term main power transformer is used to refer to the primary, high-capacity transformer in a system, distinguishing it from auxiliary or smaller transformers. However, both terms generally describe the same fundamental equipment used in electrical power networks.
