what is a high voltage transformer?

A high voltage transformer is an electrical device designed to increase or decrease voltage levels in power systems, typically operating at voltages above 1,000 volts. It consists of primary and secondary windings, which are magnetically coupled through a core. High voltage transformers are essential in power transmission and distribution, allowing efficient long-distance electricity transport while minimizing energy losses. They ensure that electrical energy is delivered at the appropriate voltage for various applications.
