  What is a Voltage Transformer
Find out the different applications of voltage transformers and how they work.

Selection of Voltage Transformers
Provides guidelines on how to size and select the right voltage transformer for the application. 

  High Voltage Transformers
These transformers are designed to handle large amounts of electricity, usually from 600 - 5,000v.
 

Medium Voltage Transformers
Offers the most load diversity and is offered in a wide range of configurations.

  Low Voltage Transformers
Used most frequency in lighting applications. Are designed to reduce 120 voltages down to 12 voltages.
 

  Isolation Transformers
Applications and how isolation transformers are used to protect equipment.

 Step-Down Transformers

A step-down transformer basic concept is that it step-down power. It step-down power by its secondary voltage is less than its primary voltage. Step-down transformers can range in sizes from 0.5 kva to 500 kva.

The uses of step-down transformers can range from large devices used in our power systems to smaller units found in electronic equipment. In our power systems, a step-up transformer is used to increase voltage to carry current through transmission lines. Before the electricity arrives at our homes and businesses a step-down transformer is used to lower voltage input. In the use of electronic equipment, they are used ahead of a rectifier. These step-down transformer are used in loudspeakers in radios, television sets and high fidelity equipment. These are also call audio transformers, and they reproduce sound-wave frequencies with minimal distortion over the full sound power levels.

The basic concept of a transformer is to step up or step down voltage. These transformers play a key role in the distribution of our electricity and without them distribution of electric power over long distances would be impossible. A step down transformer works by the secondary winding containing less turns than the primary winding, and output in the secondary circuit is less than that of the primary circuit.

When choosing a step-down transformer or any transformer, it should be efficient and should dissipate as little power as possible. In a step-down transformer, efficiency is obtained by using special steel alloy to couple the induced magnetic fields between the primary and secondary winding. By choosing the right metal for the winding it can also improve efficiency by reducing the heat.  Copper windings are the most efficient but they do cost more initially, but in the long run, you will save money in energy cost and with less maintenance.

Step-Down Transformers
It is defined as a transformer that reduces or step-down voltage.

  Step-Up Transformers
A step-up transformer is designed where the secondary voltage is greater than it's primary voltage and step-up the voltage.

   Distribution  Transformers
Are categorized in dry-type or liquid-immersed type, and available in single or three phase.
