Best Answer

A transformer is a static device which converts electrical energy from one circuit to another circuit without changing frequency, power, power factor.

It works on the principle of faradays laws of electro magnetic induction.

What is the principle of transformer?

A transformer relies on electromagnetic coupling to transfer power between two electrically isolated circuits. The transformer may step-up or step-doen the voltage or even perform 1:1 transformation for isolation purposes.

What is the difference between transformers and autotransformers?

A transformer or, more-properly, a mutual transformer, has two windings, the primary and the secondary, which are electrically-isolated from each other, with the secondary voltage induced through mutual induction. An autotransformerconsists of one tapped winding, so the secondary circuit is not electrically isolated from the primary circuit. An autotransformer may be used to either increase or decrease the primary voltage, depending how it is connected.
