NuTone is an American company that manufactures products mainly for residential use, including doorbells, intercom systems, indoor air quality products, ventilation systems, range hoods, ceiling fans, built-in electric heaters, ironing equipment, and home theater systems. The company was founded in 1936 by J. Ralph Corbett in Cincinnati, Ohio. [1]
Doorbell mechanism from 1884 in Andrássy Avenue, Budapest Antique mechanically operated shop doorbell on a torsion spring. William Murdoch, a Scottish inventor, installed a number of his own innovations in his house, built in Birmingham in 1817; one of these was a loud doorbell, that worked using a piped system of compressed air.

Older electric doorbell. An electric bell is a mechanical or electronic bell that functions by means of an electromagnet.When an electric current is applied, it produces a repetitive buzzing, clanging or ringing sound.
Leakage transformers are used for arc welding and high voltage discharge lamps (neon lights and cold cathode fluorescent lamps, which are series connected up to 7.5 kV AC). It acts both as a voltage transformer and as a magnetic ballast. Other applications are short-circuit-proof extra-low voltage transformers for toys or doorbell installations.
Sometimes a section of a bus bar can be removed to replace a current transformer. Often, multiple CTs are installed as a "stack" for various uses. For example, protection devices and revenue metering may use separate CTs to provide isolation between metering and protection circuits and allows current transformers with different characteristics ...
Invented in 1836 by the Irish-Catholic priest Nicholas Callan, also independently by American inventor Charles Grafton Page, [1] the induction coil was the first type of transformer. It was widely used in x-ray machines , [ 1 ] [ 6 ] spark-gap radio transmitters , [ 1 ] [ 6 ] arc lighting and quack medical electrotherapy devices from the 1880s ...
Transformer oil or insulating oil is an oil that is stable at high temperatures and has excellent electrical insulating properties. It is used in oil-filled wet transformers, [1] some types of high-voltage capacitors, fluorescent lamp ballasts, and some types of high-voltage switches and circuit breakers.
In electronics testing and servicing, an isolation transformer is a 1:1 (under load) power transformer used for safety. Without it, exposed live metal in a device under test is at a hazardous voltage relative to grounded objects such as a heating radiator or oscilloscope ground lead (a particular hazard with some old vacuum-tube equipment with ...
