Transformer Overload - Definition and Types of Electrical Transformers Have you ever wondered what are those big metal containers mounted high up the pole at the corner outside your house and what are their uses? Well, those are electrical transformers. A transformer is an electrical piece of equipment which transmits electricity from one voltage and changes it into another voltage through electromagnetic induction. It usually has ferromagnetic core. The use of an electric transformer is for transmitting electricity from power plants to different destinations. The voltages in power plants are often high but once there reach the substation it becomes low and when it reaches a smaller transformer the voltage is once again reduced. This goes on until the power has reached its level of usage in homes and businesses. There are different types of electrical transformers which we used in our daily lives without realizing it. The primary voltage of a step up transformer is lesser than it Less
