Power is conserved in Transformers provided you allow for the heat lost in the transformer. The input power is split between output power, heat loss in the copper-wire windings and heat loss in the iron core. Obviously designers try to make the efficiency as high as possible subject to other constraints, mainly cost, and high-power transformers can have a transfer efficiency of 99%.

Certain electric devices such as cordless telephones have small transformers that plug into walls.what do the transformers do?

Transformers are relatively simple devices which change both the current and the voltage of an electric source without affecting the total amount of power being given. Power, as the product of current and voltage, is mostly conserved as transformers are used, but the current and voltage changes. If the device needs just half the voltage of what is coming out of your wall (240v in Australia), then it will 'step down' this voltage by half, but will have to 'step up' the current, so your voltage will halve, your current will double, but the total amount of power will remain the same. Essentially the transformer exists to give your device the required input of electricity so your device is not fried!


What is transmission of power?

it is basically the transportation of electrical power from the power generation plant (eskom) via step up voltage transformers to the substation (step down transformers. to the distribution of the consumers.


Application of instrument transformer in power system?

Instrument transformers are used in power systems for measurement and protection purposes. Current transformers (CTs) are used to step down high currents to a measurable level for instruments and relays, while potential transformers (PTs) are used to step down high voltages. By providing accurate and isolated measurements of current and voltage, instrument transformers ensure the safety and reliability of the power system operations.


What are the applications of autotransformer?

Power transformers may be step-up or step-down. Distribution transformers are step-down. Isolation transformers are 1:1 ration transformers. Matching transformers are used in electronic circuits for impedence matching purposes. Instrument transformers are used to measure high-voltage voltages and currents or to operate protective systems.
