What is Use of Step Down Transformer? Explain Material Used While Manufacturing

A transformer is a circuit component that transfers the electrical energy from the primary circuit to other, multiple circuits in our homes, offices, etc. A transformer is a square ring made from an iron core with wires wound around as coils on two alternate sides of the transformer. These transformers are divided into two categories: Step-up transformers and Step-down transformers.

What are Step-down Transformers? A transformer that converts high voltage (or low current) from the primary coil of the transformer to low voltage (or high current) to the secondary coil of the transformer is known as a Step-down transformer. The ratio of the number of turns on the primary side of a step-down transformer to the number of turns on the secondary side is approximately proportional to the ratio of voltage on the primary side to the voltage on the secondary side.

Uses of Step-down transformers: 

These transformers are used in the adapters of charges of phones, stereos, etc.

Another vital application of step-down transformers is a reduction in voltage and an increase in the current supply.

These step-down transformers also act as voltage stabilizers in case of any voltage breach in the transmission lines.
