Dyco Electronics is a manufacturer of horizontal and vertical mount, step up and step down transformer. Dyco designs prototype transformers for commercial & military applications, aircraft communications, and medical & ind. J-STD-001 certified soldering instructor are available on-site.
A transformer is a device used in an electrical circuit that changes a voltage on the primary winding to another voltage level on the secondary winding(s). This transformation is accomplished via a mutual coupling effect between the primary winding and secondary winding(s), with the magnitude of change determined by the turns ratio between the windings. If the primary winding contains more turns than the secondary winding, then the voltage induced in that secondary winding will be decreased by an amount equal to the turns ratio between the primary & secondary winding, a transformer that does this is referred to as a step down Transformer. Whereas in a transformer that has a primary winding with less turns than the secondary, then the voltage induced in the secondary winding is increased by an equal amount to the turns ratio, this device is called a Step Up Transformer.
A step down transformer is defined as a transformer having secondary voltage that is inferior than its main voltage. This sort of transformer "steps down" the voltage applied to it.
The secondary current in a step down transformer produces voltage decreases across the reactive and resistive parts in the secondary side of the step down transformer. On the opposite side, the primary current produces voltage drops across the resistive and reactive components of the transformer's primary side. Consequently, it is quite simple to see the primary voltage will be less than the supply voltage, and the output will be inferior than one or the other.
Autotransformer winding is tapped at 100V so that it functions as a 200V-to-100V step down transformer. While this is an acceptable transformer connection, its application is rather limited because of the absence of isolation between input and output circuits.
