Demonstration transformer
Product Description
The Demonstration Transformer is an educational and laboratory device designed to illustrate the principles of electromagnetic induction, voltage transformation, and mutual inductance. Typically composed of a laminated iron core with interchangeable primary and secondary coils, it allows for hands-on experiments involving step-up and step-down voltage transformation. Ideal for both laboratory demonstrations and industrial training settings, it supports a range of voltage and current inputs and can safely demonstrate real-time transformer behavior using AC power sources.
Primary Uses
Laboratory Applications
