2. Tesla coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil

   A high-voltage supply transformer (T), to step the AC mains voltage up to a high enough voltage to jump the spark gap. Typical voltages are between 5 and 30 kilovolts (kV). [12] A capacitor (C1) that forms a tuned circuit with the primary winding L1 of the Tesla transformer

3. Isolated-phase bus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

   In electrical engineering, isolated-phase bus (IPB), also known as phase-isolated bus (PIB) in some countries, is a method of construction for circuits carrying very large currents, typically between a generator and its step-up transformer in a steam or large hydroelectric power plant. Isolated phase bus during installation at the Bui Dam Ghana ...

4. Transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

   Transformers are used to change AC voltage levels, such transformers being termed step-up or step-down type to increase or decrease voltage level, respectively. Transformers can also be used to provide galvanic isolation between circuits as well as to couple stages of signal-processing circuits.

5. Alternating current - Wikipedia

   A schematic representation of long distance electric power transmission. From left to right: G=generator, U=step-up transformer, V=voltage at beginning of transmission line, Pt=power entering transmission line, I=current in wires, R=total resistance in wires, Pw=power lost in transmission line, Pe=power reaching the end of the transmission line, D=step-down transformer, C=consumers.

6. History of the Tesla coil - Wikipedia

   [70] [71] The primary was connected to a bank of oil capacitors (C1) to make a tuned circuit, with a rotary spark gap (SG), powered by 20 to 40 kilovolts from a powerful utility step-up transformer (T). The top of the secondary was connected to the 100-turn 8 ft (2.4 m) diameter "extra" or "resonator" coil (L3) in the center of the room. Its ...

   And solar and wind farms need step-up transformers to be able to transmit the power they’re generating to consumers. “We’ve just seen such a huge boom in demand for transformers recently ...

8. Autotransformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransformer

   In a step-up transformer, conversely, the load is attached across the full winding while the source is connected to a tap across a portion of the winding. For a step-up transformer, the subscripts in the above equations are reversed where, in this situation, N 2 {\displaystyle N_{2}} and V 2 {\displaystyle V_{2}} are greater than N 1 ...

9. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   Transformers are used in power converters to incorporate electrical isolation and voltage step-down or step up. The secondary circuit is floating, when you touch the secondary circuit, you merely drag its potential to your body's potential or the earth's potential. There will be no current flowing through your body.
