12V Transformer Is Something Important - Learn How To Make Use Of It

By Rob King

A transformer is something crucial for the electronic applications. Wait, we are not talking about the movie, we are talking about the real transformer used in the electronics. In our city life, the use of electrical applications has become a major support.

They way that transformer works is something simple actually. One hand of the transformer is connected to the main power supply, which will provide electricity of about hundreds of volts. Then, there will be some coils winding in the transformer. On the other side of the transformer, there will be a small number of turns of windings and then the applications that you want to supply electricity on will be there.

In this way, the voltage supplied to the application will be only of about dozens of volts. This is the work of the step-down transformer. The winding turn ratio is proportional to the voltage ratio between the circuits. Of course, there will be step-up transformers, such as the electricity power cable transmission, but this is not something that we would pay attention to in normal life.

In a formal transformer, you will see that there is a metal wound by certain turns of coil. In the primary circuit side, the coils will be more than those in the secondary circuit side. This is a step down transformer which is commonly used by people nowadays. With the help of this type of step down tool, the voltage supplied by the source, which is about 110V, will be changed to about 12V, which is required for the applications such as chargers.

If you charge your mobile phone without a 12V transformer, your mobile phone will surely explode because the battery cannot tolerate a high charging voltage. This is something about physics and if you think that it is too complicated, just bear one simple thing in mind.You should never try to charge the dedicated electrical applications without using a 12V transformer.

Of course, if it is a coincidence that the cable has the same transformer, you can operate the machine. Therefore, you have to check and make sure that you have the correct transformer.

You can try to see the words on the plug or the transformer, it will usually state the operating voltage of the machine and if the voltage matches, you can use it conveniently.

There are plenty of people who know the way of the operation of the transformers. If you want to learn more about this, you can try to visit the websites online and see whether there is more detailed knowledge for you to learn. Hope that you can learn more and use the transformer safely!
