How do Transformers Play an Important Role in Industrial Applications?

Electric transformers are an integral part of our day-to-day life. Transformer applications can be either domestic or industrial. Different types of transformers are used to step-up or step-down the voltage for various devices.

Let us have a look at some of the common industrial applications of transformers:

Applications in Automobile Industry:

Electric vehicles are the up and coming automobiles to create buzz in the market. Their batteries are charged by a power source. However, custom transformer is needed to monitor and control the voltage of electricity that is being used for charging the batteries. Advanced technology and innovations have led to development of “smart transformers” that can be used for charging multiple electric vehicles at a time.

Applications in the Steel Manufacturing Industry:

Steel manufacturing plants rely on the delivery of high currents over a varied range of voltages for their functioning. This requirement is fulfilled by specialized high voltage transformers. Such transformers can sustain the extreme dielectric, mechanical, and thermal constraints of a steel furnace.

Application in the Electrochemical Industry:

Electrolysis of elements like copper, aluminum, zinc or chlorine is essential in various electroplating processes. Rectifier transformers are specially designed to carry out such electrolysis process efficiently.

Miscellaneous:

Apart from aforementioned industrial applications, electric transformers are also useful in following sectors:

• Aerospace
• Audio Systems
• Military Subcontractors
• Current Transformation
• Biochemical and Biomedical
• Communications
• Data Processing
• Clock and Timer Circuits

Based on the type of transformer applications in various industries, you can select the best suited transformer to carry out the operations efficiently.
