Industrial transformers are power units that convert direct current electricity from a source like a hydroelectric dam into alternating current (AC) electricity for distribution to consumers.Industrial transformer design has changed dramatically over the years, as have systems for measuring and controlling these transformers.
Industrial transformers can be used in various industries, such as manufacturing, power generation, and telecommunications.

The voltage of the power line will be in the range of 110 to 125 volts. The alternating current is brought into a machine which acts on it to produce some other type of current. Some devices will not work so well on the lower voltage; therefore most transformers have a switch that automatically changes between the two voltages.
How does an industrial transformer work?
Industrial transformers are devices used to change the frequency or voltage of an electric current. They work by using a rotating magnetic field to induce a current in one coil of wire while repelling the current from another coil. The transformer's rotational speed is controlled by a motor, which allows the transformer to change the electrical output of a circuit.
The different types of industrial transformers and their uses
Transformers are machines that use electricity to change the voltage, frequency, or phase of an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) into another type of AC or DC. Transformers come in many different types and each has its own specific purpose. Some common transformers used in industrial settings are:
•Voltage transformers: Used to change the voltage of AC power from 120 to 240 volts. Voltage transformers also power lights, motors, and other appliances.
•Phase transformers: Used to change the phase of AC power from single-phase to three-phase. Phase transformers are also used to power motors and other appliances.
