Electrical installations often require an increase or decrease in the voltage supplied by energy companies.
In these cases, a specific device for voltage transformation, known as a transformer, is necessary.
If you have an electronic device with a voltage of 110V, for example, and all the outlets in your home are 220V, you will need a transformer to convert the electrical current according to the device’s requirements.
Otherwise, the equipment may become damaged.
Based on the electromagnetic principles of Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law, the electrical power transformer is a simple device consisting of an iron piece – the core – and two coils: the primary, which receives the voltage from the power grid, and the secondary, which transmits the transformed voltage to the devices.
The system works as follows: when an alternating voltage is applied to the primary winding, an alternating current is generated, creating a magnetic field in the iron core.
This will undergo fluctuations resulting in a magnetic flux induced in the secondary coil.
The electrical current transformer is important not only for safety but for the proper functioning of the devices.
It is also essential in energy supply systems, as it ensures circuit power balance. It is also the ideal solution for domestic use or large projects, eliminating the need to alter the structure and modify the voltage of the devices.
Tecnogera offers transformers with power ratings from 75kVA to 50,000kVA and protection ratings of IP-00, IP-2X, IP-3X, IP-4X, IP-5X, or IP-6X, suitable for enclosed cabins or substations, normal or harsh environments, indoors or outdoors.
