The term "machine" in the context of a transformer may be a bit misleading, as a transformer itself is not a machine in the traditional sense. Here’s why a transformer might be referred to as a machine:
1. Electrical Device: A transformer is a type of electrical device that performs specific functions similar to machines. It changes the voltage and current levels in an electrical circuit, which is a form of electrical work.
2. Mechanical Analogy: In engineering terminology, "machine" can refer to any device or apparatus that performs work or a function. Transformers fit this broad definition because they perform the work of converting electrical energy from one voltage level to another.
3. Complexity and Operation: Although not a machine with moving parts, transformers are complex devices with multiple components (such as windings and cores) that work together to perform their function. This complexity might lead to the term "machine" being used informally.
4. Industrial Usage: In industrial and technical contexts, the term “machine” can sometimes be used to describe any equipment or apparatus involved in electrical or mechanical processes, including transformers.
In summary, while a transformer does not fit the traditional definition of a machine with moving parts, it is often referred to as a machine in broader or industrial contexts due to its role and complexity in electrical systems.

How is current controlled in welding transformer?
in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
The incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called what?
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
Can you use a transformer from a clothes dryer for an answering machine?
Clothes dryers don't use transformers. Are you thinking of the power cord? The best way to get a replacement transformer for your answering machine is to look up the manufacturer on the net and see if you can buy one from them.
Who is the solar transformer in transformers?
the solar transformer is called soundwave.

Transformer type welding machine
What causes saturation in a welding transformer?
what causes saturation in welding machine
What is meant by induction machine?
An induction motor is so-called because the currents circulating in the machine's rotor are due to voltages induced into the rotor conductors through 'transformer action' from the field windings located on the stator. In other words, there is no external electrical supply to the rotor which, instead, behaves in a similar manner to the secondary winding of a transformer.
When a transformer transforms where do the seats from the vehicle go?
They move to the back of the machine, because they are not clearly visible when the transformer is not in car mode, so no one would be able to sit in the seat while the transformer is transforming
What is an Earthed voltage transformer?
An earthing transformer provides a neutral in a delta connected system.
