Low voltage transformers are being widely used in domestic as well as industrial applications nowadays.
Here are some of the most common uses:
Household Appliances
Many common household appliances use low voltage transformers, including:Many common household appliances use low voltage transformers, including:
-
Refrigerators
-
Washing machines
-
Mobile phone chargers
-
Thermostats
-
Doorbells
These transformers are used to reduce the voltage of the main power supply to a safe voltage typically 12- 24 volts that is safe for the appliances.
Landscape and Path Lighting
Low voltage transformers are mainly used in outside lighting applications such as at landscapes and walkways. They transform the main voltage to range from 12 to 15 volts; much safer to use in outdoor lighting fixtures.
Industrial and Commercial Applications
Low voltage transformers are used in various industrial and commercial applications, including:
-
Supply of power to industrial utilities
-
Electric gates and air conditioning lighting control
The isolation transformers to isolate a specific devices or equipment from the line for safety.
LED and Boat Lighting
LED lights are known to be low voltage devices and therefore requires a transformer to provide the required voltage. Low voltage transformers are useful in the LED lighting systems.
Likewise, boats lighting is sometimes installed by using low voltage transformers as the source of power for the lights.
Thus, LV transformers are responsible for delivering electrical energy under safe and optimal condition for many applications including residential use, commercial and industrial products and outdoor luminaries.
