2. Center tap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_tap

   For example, a 24 VCT transformer will measure 24 VAC across the outer two taps (winding as a whole), and 12 VAC from each outer tap to the center-tap (half winding). These two 12 VAC supplies are 180 degrees out of phase with each other, measured with respect to the tap, thus making it easy to derive positive and negative 12 volt DC power ...

3. Extra-low voltage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-low_voltage

   The IEC and IET go on to define actual types of extra-low voltage systems, for example separated extra-low voltage (SELV), protected extra-low voltage (PELV), functional extra-low voltage (FELV). These can be supplied using sources including motor / fossil fuel generator sets, transformers, switched PSU's or rechargeable battery.

4. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

   A transformer would be used for higher power. Transformers do not change the frequency of electricity; in many regions with 100–120 V, electricity is supplied at 60 Hz, and 210–240 V regions tend to use 50 Hz. This may affect operation of devices which depend on mains frequency (some audio turntables and mains-only electric clocks, etc ...

5. Alternating current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

   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. Transformer types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

   Transformer oil is flammable, so oil-filled transformers inside a building are installed in vaults to prevent spread of fire and smoke from a burning transformer. Some transformers were built to use fire-resistant PCBs , but because these compounds persist in the environment and have adverse effects on organisms, their use has been discontinued ...

7. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   Usually, in power systems, transformers transmit power simultaneously, no charge! The current in the primary winding of a transformer help to sets up the mutual flux in accordance with Ampere's law and balances the demagnetizing effect of the load current in the secondary winding. Flyback converter's transformer works differently, like an inductor.
