This document discusses transformers, including:
- Their history from Edison's DC power system to Tesla's development of AC power transmission.
- How a transformer works using mutual induction to change the voltage of alternating current between a primary and secondary coil.
- The basic construction of a transformer with an iron core and two insulated coils.
- The main types of transformers including step-up, step-down, auto, poly-phase, leakage, resonant, and instrument transformers.
