Single Phase Transformer

Single phase transformer, as a structurally simplified and functionally prominent electrical equipment, is mainly used for voltage conversion in single-phase AC circuits. It consists of an iron core and primary and secondary windings. The iron core is made of high permeability silicon steel sheets to reduce hysteresis and eddy current losses. The winding is made of copper or aluminum wire, which has reliable insulation performance and ensures safe operation. During operation, utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction, the primary winding is connected to an AC power source, and the alternating current generates alternating magnetic flux in the iron core. The secondary winding then induces the corresponding voltage. Due to the advantages of small size, low cost, and easy installation and maintenance, single-phase transformers are widely used in residential electricity, small commercial facilities, local lighting, and some special electrical equipment such as electronic instruments and control circuits, providing suitable voltage for related scenarios.
