TRANSFORMERS

Unlike the generator, a transformer cannot be used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, it being able to transform electrical

Сenergy from one circuit at the same or some other voltage.

Essentially, a transformer consists of two coils, not electrically connected to each other, but wound over a common core. The core may also be of open type or it may be merely a tube of some insulating material, the latter being referred to as an air core.

и coil and inducesбАan e.m.f. therein. The value of this induced e.m.f. depends

If a varying voltage be applied to the primary coil, the electromagnetic field set up around the coil will rise and fall in accordance with the e.m.f. variations applied. This moving field cuts the turns in the secondary

upon the strength of the applied e.m.f. and the ratio of secondary turns to primary turns. Should there be twice as many turns in the secondary as in the primary, the voltage in the secondary would be twice that applied to the primary. If there were half as many turns in the secondary, the voltage would be half that applied to the primary. This voltage steps up or step down in proportion to turn ratio will hold good for all combinations. Where the voltage is raised, however, amperage is lost in the same proportions, and vice versa. Therefore, the power in watts supplied to the trans-

Where it is desired to step up a low-voltage a.c. supply to a value useful for radio receivers and transmitters, a power transformer is used. The windings are sufficiently heavy to carry the current without undue heating, and the

secondary may consist of two or more separate windings to provide various voltages from the one input source.

As the iron core increases, the inductive reactance of the transformer increases, and inasmuch as this type of reactance also increases. With the frequency of the applied alternating current, there is a limit to the frequencies that can be efficiently used in transformers with metallic cores. Where very high frequency alternating current is used, such as in the r-f circuits of

receivers and transmitters, air core transformers must be used to eliminate prohibitive core losses.
