Abstract: Transformer is a power supply circuit or equipment that automatically adjusts the output voltage, and its function is to stabilize the power supply voltage that fluctuates greatly and fails to meet the requirements of electrical equipment within its set value range. A voltage regulator is a device that stabilizes the output voltage. You will find that ballasts and transformers are also very important to us. Then, Hengfengyou would like to introduce the difference between voltage regulator and transformer.
Brief introduction of regulator:
Ballast is a device that can stabilize unstable voltage and output voltage. The regulator is mainly composed of voltage regulating circuit, control circuit and servo motor; When the input voltage is unstable or the load changes, its control circuit samples, compares, amplifies, drives the rotation of the servo motor to change the position of the carbon brush of the voltage regulator, and automatically adjusts the number of coils to maintain a stable output voltage
Ballasts are widely used: mainly computers, precision machine tools, computed tomography (CT), precision instruments, test devices, elevator lighting, entrance equipment and production lines of industrial and mining enterprises, oil fields, railways, construction sites, schools, hospitals, posts and telecommunications, hotels, scientific research and other departments Low voltage distribution network end users with large fluctuations and electrical equipment with large load fluctuations are mainly applicable to all electric fields with high and stable grid waveform requirements. The high-power compensated power ballast can be connected to thermal, hydraulic and small generators.
Transformer is mainly a device that changes AC voltage by using the working principle of electromagnetic induction. The main structure of transformer is composed of primary coil, secondary coil and iron core. The main functions of the transformer are voltage conversion, current conversion, impedance conversion, isolation, voltage stabilization (magnetic saturation transformer), etc.
It can be divided into power transformer and special transformer (furnace transformer, rectifier transformer, power frequency test transformer, voltage regulator, mining transformer, audio frequency transformer, intermediate frequency transformer, high-frequency transformer, impulse transformer, instrument transformer, electronic transformer, reactor, transformer, etc.) according to the purpose. The circuit symbol often starts with t. For example, T01, T201, etc.
Hengfengyou concluded: What is the difference between a regulator and a transformer?
1. The regulator is mainly used to stabilize the voltage within the required range. There are two types of regulators: AC regulator and DC regulator. The difference between the stabilized voltage of the regulator and the actual output voltage is small;
2. The function of transformer is to change one voltage into another. The transformer is generally an AC transformer, and the secondary voltage of the transformer varies greatly, usually several times. According to the number of turns, the transformer is divided into two transformers and three transformers.
