Use of Transformer The transformer is a static electric device which can transform alternative voltage and current to transfer electric power in same frequency between two or more windings by means of electromagnetic induction. The transformer has a lot of uses. There are various kinds of transformers widely used in all departments of national economy. In view of the angle from the electric power system, an electric power network connects many power plants and users and the electric energy generated from the electric power network shall be always sent to user areas by transmission in long distance. In case the electric power to be transferred is constant, the higher the transferred voltage, the less the current to be needed because the voltage drop is in direct proportion with the current and the loss of electric energy is in direct proportion with the square of the current. Therefore it can largely reduce the voltage drop and energy loss of the transmission lines if higher transferred voltage is adopted. At present it is difficult technically to make the generator with higher voltage, alternatively, the step-up transformer is used to rise up the voltage at the terminal of the generator before the electric power is sent. The longer the transmission distance, the larger the transferred power and the higher the requirement of volume and voltage levels of the transformer. As there are a lot of levels of voltage existed in the power network, it should have transformers with different sizes of voltage to make connection. On the other hand, when electric energy is transferred to the receiving t
