  2. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

    A transformer would be used for higher power. Transformers do not change the frequency of electricity; in many regions with 100–120 V, electricity is supplied at 60 Hz, and 210–240 V regions tend to use 50 Hz. This may affect operation of devices which depend on mains frequency (some audio turntables and mains-only electric clocks, etc ...

  3. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

    Flyback converter's transformer works differently, like an inductor. In each cycle, the flyback converter's transformer first gets charged and then releases its energy to the load. Accordingly, the flyback converter's transformer air gap has two functions. It not only determines inductance but also stores energy.

  4. Buck–boost transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck–boost_transformer

    Buck–boost transformers can be used to power low voltage circuits including control, lighting circuits, or applications that require 12, 16, 24, 32 or 48 volts, consistent with the design's secondaries. The transformer is connected as an isolating transformer and the nameplate kVA rating is the transformer’s capacity. [2]

  5. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Transformers step down transmission voltages, 35 kV or more, down to primary distribution voltages. These are medium voltage circuits, usually 600–35 000 V. [1] From the transformer, power goes to the busbar that can split the distribution power off in multiple directions. The bus distributes power to distribution lines, which fan out to ...

  6. 48-volt electrical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/48-volt_electrical_system

    A 48 V system can provide more power, improve energy recuperation, [7] and allow up to an 85% decrease in cable mass. [10]12-volt systems can provide only 3.5 kilowatts, while a 48 V power could achieve 15 to 20 kW or even 50 kW. 48 volts is below the level that is considered safe in dry conditions without special protective measures. [11]

  7. Power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

    Other AC power supply transformers do not provide mains isolation; these are called autotransformers; a variable output autotransformer is known as a variac. Other kinds of AC power supplies are designed to provide a nearly constant current , and output voltage may vary depending on impedance of the load.

  9. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    A transformer supplying a three-wire distribution system has a single-phase input (primary) winding. The output (secondary) winding has a center tap connected to a grounded neutral. As shown in Fig. 1, either end to center has half the voltage of end-to-end. Fig. 2 illustrates the phasor diagram
