mainstransformatoren
Mainstransformatoren, often translated as "main transformers" or "power transformers," are essential components in electrical power systems. Their primary function is to change the voltage of alternating current (AC) electricity. This voltage transformation is crucial for the efficient transmission and distribution of electrical power from generating stations to consumers.
In power grids, electricity is generated at a relatively low voltage. To transmit this power over long
Upon reaching substations closer to populated areas, step-down transformers are used to progressively reduce the voltage.
Mainstransformatoren typically consist of a laminated iron core and two or more coils of insulated wire, known
