The 12-0-12 1A Center Tapped Step Down Transformer is designed to act as a step-down transformer, reducing AC from 230V to 12V. It has a center-tapped secondary winding and flying colored insulated connecting leads approximately 100mm long.
The transformer's construction includes a solid core and winding, with cores made of high permeability silicon steel. This design helps greatly reduce the magnetizing current and confines the flux to a path closely coupling the windings.
It is a static electrical device that transfers energy through inductive coupling between its winding circuits. The varying current in the primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the core, inducing a varying electromotive force (E.M.F) or voltage in the secondary winding.
Applications:
- DIY projects requiring in-application high current drain
- On chassis AC/AC converter
- Designing a battery charger
