  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-Up Transformers

A step-up transformers works by having it secondary voltage being greater than the primary voltage. With the secondary voltage being greater, it steps up the voltage input.

To understand step-up transformers you need to know the basic on how a transformer works. A simple transformer is made up of two coils, which is wound around a core made of iron. How a transformer changes voltage is by the number of times the wires are wrapped around the core. The more turns the more voltage, and if the primary winding has fewer turns than the secondary winding you have a step-up transformer. A transformer has no moving parts and works on a magnetic induction principle. A transformer converts alternating current (AC) from one voltage to another voltage.

Step-up transformers are used in many different applications, but it plays a big roll in our power plants. Electricity is produced at the power plants, then a step-up transformer is used to produce high voltage, it then is ready to be carried long distances through transmission lines. The reason the voltage needs to be step-up because as it travel through these transmission lines it loses electricity. High voltage transmission lines carry the electric current to substations where the electricity is step-down by a step-down transformer, it then travels on smaller power lines known as distribution lines. These distribution line voltage levels are typically 4kV or 12kV. These voltages are reduced one last time at smaller pole-top step-down transformers, typically it is stepped down to 120 and 240 volts, to make the power safe to use in our homes.

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.
