A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another by means of a varying magnetic field. see the Related Link below for a whole bunch of info on Transformers and explanations on how they work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

Distribution transformer vs power transformer?
Power transformers are step-up or step-down transformers used in the electricity transmission system, whereas distribution transformers are step-down transformers used in the electricity distribution system.
What does transform do?
Transformers are an important part in the electrical distribution network. They step up or step down electricity.
An advantage of off-peak electricity?
For the electricity companies the advantages are : - Transformers dont damage (Transformers are most efficient at full load) - Constant use of electricity meaning that theres no need for storing electricity (even though its near impossible to store AC) For the customer the advantages are: - Cheaper Electricity at off peak times. (the reason its cheaper is to encourage people to use off peak more so that the transformers run at maximum efficiency - hence not damaging them)
Electrical Properties of Transformers why you use it?
Transformers are used to convert electricity from high voltage to low voltage and from low voltage to high voltage.
How is electricity transported and distributed?
The electricity is transported and distributed by the use of the national grid and the step down and the step up transformers.
Dangers of living near electricity voltage transformers towers?
Living near electricity voltage transformers towers, increases your risk of cancer and other health problems. Numerous studies done worldwide confirm this fact.
How is hydro power harnessed to make electricity?
A river is dammed, water from the lake behind the dam is sent through water turbines, the water turbines spin and turn electrical generators, the generators produce electricity which is sent to transformers, the transformers place the electricity on the power grid.
How is hydro-power harnessed to make electricity?
A river is dammed, water from the lake behind the dam is sent through water turbines, the water turbines spin and turn electrical generators, the generators produce electricity which is sent to Transformers, the transformers place the electricity on the power grid.
Why transformers were made?
A transformer is an electrical device that takes electricity of one voltage and changes it into another voltage. You'll see transformers at the top of utility poles and even changing the voltage in a toy train set.A transformer changes electricity from high to low voltage using two properties of electricity.
How do electricity suppliers get the electricity?
Generators supply electricity to transformers. Then the transformers increase the voltage to reduce voltage drop as the electricity travels over long distances. When the power gets to its destination, other transformers reduce the voltage back down to a useable level.
Is petroleum product a good conductor of electricity?
No, that's why it was used in (old) transformers to cool the windings.
What do transform?
Transformers are an important part in the electrical distribution network. They step up or step down electricity.
