A transformer is a static electrical device which can transfer the electrical energy between two or more many circuits through electromagnetic induction. This article gives information about the advantages and disadvantages of a transformer to know more details about it.
Advantages of transformer :
- A transformer will increase or decrease basically AC voltage, current or independence
- It is efficient for high-frequency range
- The available power cannot change but will slightly too much decrease depending on the efficiency of the transformer
- It has the advantage of preventing condensed flux leakage as well as iron loss
- It offers good mechanical strength
- The transformer is widely used in power transmission
Disadvantages of transformer :
- A transformer will not work with DC voltage under any condition
- The transformer size become un widely
- The physical size of the transformer is directly related to the amount of power to be desired
- It is not good to use outdoors
- It can be noisy
