THT / HV / MV / LV power transformer

The power transformer is the device that allowed the rise and then the domination of alternative networks for the transport, distribution and use of electrical energy. The first function of a transformer is to raise or lower the transmission voltage, in order to lower or increase the current and therefore the losses generated in the lines.
