Summary and Applications
In this chapter, you learned about the following topics related to transformers:
- The principles that allow an AC signal to be induced in a secondary coil
- How the AC voltage across the secondary coil can be stepped up or down depending upon the turns ratio of the transformer
- The use of a center tap to produce various voltages from a transformer
- The use of transformers to match impedances between a generator and a load
- That transformers can cause the output signal to be inverted (out of phase) from the input signal
