Learning About Transformers

Transformers are important components in many electrical systems, particularly where voltage needs to be changed for a specific application. A Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician includes training in testing and connecting transformers. Students can develop an understanding of how these components function and how they form part of electrical systems. Learning about transformers also provides an opportunity to apply electrical theory to practical equipment. For students interested in developing broader electrical knowledge, studying components such as transformers, rotating machines and control circuits can provide useful technical foundations for future workplace learning.
