A power transformer is to convert alternating current of one voltage to alternating current of another voltage at a constant frequency. The device in the normal “classic” transformer all know from school physics lessons. The principle of operation is based on electromagnetic induction. In the primary winding under the action of tension in the core induces a magnetic flux proportional to this voltage, which, in turn, an electromotive force of self-induction (EMF) in the secondary windings is directly proportional to the number of turns of these windings.
Electronic transformer (ET) and arranged differently, and the principle of its action is quite different. In fact, ET is a switching power supply — inverter voltage with electronic protection against short circuit, overload and excessive heating of the elements. All energy-saving lamps, lamps, lamps, fluorescent lights, illumination of aquariums and other similar devices are equipped with a FLOOR probe.
