// A representation of a voltage transformer. |
|
// Voltage transformers are used to step up or step down the voltage, keeping |
|
// the power somewhat constant by increasing or decreasing the current. |
|
// If voltage is stepped up, current is stepped down, and vice versa. |
|
// Note that voltage transformers have efficiency losses, so the output power |
|
// is always less than the input power. |
This is more accurately described as a power transformer or simply a transformer.
A voltage transformer is a different thing used to lower voltage levels so that they can be measured: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_transformer
I already mentioned the naming mismatch to @tiyash-basu-frequenz.
