A transformer is an energy coupling device that takes electrical energy at one voltage (from its source) and transforms it to another voltage. The new voltage may be higher (stepped up) or lower (stepped down), or it may remain the same as the input voltage. A good analogy is a mechanical gear train, where the shaft of the input gear rotates at a different speed than that of the output gear.ConstructionThere
