What type of transformer used in bed lamps?

If the bed lamps use a low voltage bulb then the type of transformer will be a step down transformer.


How is voltage ratio of shell type transformer when the load is changed?

The ratio of a shell type transformer does not change based on load, unless a load tap changer is used. The primary windings to secondary winding ratio is a constant. The voltage on the secondary may be dragged down if loading is heavy, specifically if the transformer has poor voltage regulation. If this is the case, you can infer the voltage on the secondary may float higher than desired under no load conditions.


What type of voltage must be passed across a transformer?

A transformer must be connected to an alternating current (AC) supply of the correct voltage.

Current transformer and voltage transformer . This transformers are actually measuring instruments which measures the quantity of current and voltage coming out of the substation.


What is a pole transformer?

It is a type of transformer that you usually see hanging from a utility pole that feeds your house. It transforms the high transmission voltage down to the usable voltage that is used in the home.


Which type of transformer is used in sonometer?

A sonometer is used to determine the frequency of alternating current. A step down transformer is used for the determination of frequency of A.C. because the voltage of the A.C. mains is 220V, which is dangerous. The step down transformer reduces this voltage to 6 volts.


How do transformers reduce electrical voltage?

This type of transformer is called a Step-Down transformer. All transformers have an input to output ratio. The transformers that increase voltage are called Step-up, and the transformers that protect against surges are called unity gain. The Unity gain transformer has a 1:1 ratio and provide a mechanical way to isolate a source of voltage from a load.
