Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In power distribution, what is the purpose of a distribution transformer?
  • Step 1: Understand that electricity is generated at a high voltage to be transmitted over long distances.
  • Step 2: Know that this high voltage electricity is not safe or usable for homes and businesses.
  • Step 3: Learn that a distribution transformer is a device that reduces (or 'steps down') this high voltage to a lower voltage.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the lower voltage is safe and suitable for consumer use, such as in homes and offices.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the main purpose of a distribution transformer is to make electricity safe for everyday use.
