Basic Transformer Action

Transformer instructions give answers to basic questions about transformer. This include principles behind transformer or transformer actions, transformer circuit, connections, current, design calculation, transformer functions and lots more. You will find transformer in many equipment such as UPS, Audio amplifier, DC power supply or Rectifier. Transformer in circuit use includes:

1. Isolation Protection
2. ⚡ Voltage Conversion as you normally encounter in distribution and power supply
3. Impedance Matching Transformer as employed for instance in amplification and
4. Power Control

Transformer Winding Direction

Some people confuse when they encounter transformer with multiple leads. This they do when troubleshooting or fabricating.  Some of the reasons are they don’t know which one is primary or secondary, not only this, two windings winding may be  out of phase with the other, and if use as it is without consideration  and figuring it out, you get wrong output. Some circuit diagram include transformer instructions on windings. You need to check phase arrangement of the coil before connecting to the rest of the circuit. There is usually marked to indicate this. You can confirm this if you have a circuit diagram to work with and for more information on transformer, check out this video.

Transformer Instructions Testing and Repair

Transformer may experience a short or open-circuit depending on the stress to which it encounter. The pry side is more vulnerable if there is a surge especially if it is a step down transformer because it usually has more turns at high resistance. Meanwhile, any problems from the secondary side will reflect on the primary.  To keep your transformer save, use a fuse before the primary and after the secondary. Never bypass any fuse, some manufacturers equipped their transformer with thermal fuse in the primary; in this case when you observe an open in the pry coil look for this. It is cheaper to replace the thermal fuse than the entire transformer. For more on transformer used in electronics and projects CONTACT US.
