2. Transformer types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

   There are three primary types of voltage transformers (VT): electromagnetic, capacitor, and optical. The electromagnetic voltage transformer is a wire-wound transformer. The capacitor voltage transformer uses a capacitance potential divider and is used at higher voltages due to a lower cost than an electromagnetic VT.

3. Transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

   Transformer. In electrical engineering, a transformer is a passive component that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit, or multiple circuits. A varying current in any coil of the transformer produces a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core, which induces a varying electromotive force (EMF) across ...

4. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

   A distribution transformer or service transformer is a transformer that provides a final voltage transformation in the electric power distribution system, stepping down the voltage used in the distribution lines to the level used by the customer. [1] The invention of a practical efficient transformer made AC power distribution feasible; a ...

5. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ[ 1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [ 2] It is a type of polyphase system employing three wires (or ...

6. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

   Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of transformers. [1]

7. Isolation transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_transformer

   An isolation transformer is a transformer used to transfer electrical power from a source of alternating current (AC) power to some equipment or device while isolating the powered device from the power source, usually for safety reasons or to reduce transients and harmonics. [ 1] Isolation transformers provide galvanic isolation; no conductive ...
