    Transformer Fundamentals

    • Transformers are static devices that convert electrical power in one circuit to power of the same frequency in another circuit.
    • They change voltage and current proportionally: increasing voltage decreases current, and vice versa.
    • The core principle is mutual induction between linked circuits, creating a common magnetic flux.
    • A basic transformer has two electrically-separated but magnetically-linked coils.
    • The coils have high mutual inductance.
    • An alternating current in the primary coil creates a changing magnetic flux in the laminated core.
    • This flux induces a voltage in the secondary coil (Faraday's Law).
    • Closing the secondary circuit allows current flow, transferring energy through magnetic induction.
    • The primary coil receives power from the AC source.
    • The secondary coil delivers the transformed power.
