Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main function of a transformer in a power distribution system?
  • Step 1: Understand that a transformer is a device used in electrical systems.
  • Step 2: Know that power is generated at high voltages to transmit it over long distances.
  • Step 3: Realize that high voltage can be dangerous for everyday use.
  • Step 4: Learn that transformers reduce (or 'step down') this high voltage to safer levels.
  • Step 5: Understand that this safer voltage is then distributed to homes and businesses.
