  2. Voltage transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_transformer

    An electromagnetic potential transformer is a wire-wound transformer. An optical voltage transformer exploits the Faraday effect, rotating polarized light, in optical materials. [3] A capacitor voltage transformer, or capacitive voltage transformer uses a capacitive voltage divider to reduce the line voltage before applying it to an ordinary ...

  6. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    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. An optical voltage transformer exploits the electrical properties of optical materials. [15] Measurement of high voltages is ...

  7. Transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 any other coils wound around the same core.

  8. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    The line to neutral voltage is half the line-to-line voltage. Lighting and small appliances may be connected between a line wire and the neutral. Higher-power appliances, such as cooking equipment, space heating, water heaters, clothes dryers, air conditioners and electric vehicle charging equipment, are connected to the two line conductors.
