240v to 110v step-down Transformer for sale in Nairobi, Kenya

240v to 110v step down The most common transformer used in areas where the distribution voltage is 110v. Electronic products are manufactured in various parts of the world. In their country, they use various distribution voltage levels. A.C. voltages of 240v and 110v are commonly used.

Assume a television is designed to operate on a 110v input supply by default. This product must be used in a country where the common distribution voltage is 220v.

The user could not then connect this television to his 240v supply at home. He’ll get a burn inside the television if he does that. A 240v to 110v step-down transformer is required to convert the voltage level to the required level.

Some electronic products include a built-in step-down transformer to meet this requirement. The consumer should switch between 240v and 110v according to the country’s standard voltage.

Not just 240v to 110v voltage conversion. There are requirements for step-down transformers 220v to 110v and step-down transformers 240v to 120v (step-down transformers 240 to 120) in various product ranges. People also look for 277v to 120v step-down transformers and other specific step-down transformer products.

Whatever the voltage requirement, almost all products are designed to support a wide range of input voltages.

What is a Transformer?

A transformer is a passive device that converts one voltage level to another based on the need. The frequency of both the input and output voltages will be the same. For more information, see our Step Down Transformer 220v to 110v Buying Guide in Kenya.

Structure of a 220v to 110v step-down transformer

The structure of a 220v to 110v step-down transformer is as follows:

• It has both primary and secondary winding – The primary winding has twice the number of turns as the secondary winding. Increasing the number of turns increases the induced emf on cores. However, the turn ratio should be 2:1.
• The primary and secondary windings are wound on a ferromagnetic core – The coil terminals are removed so that they can input and output power.
• The primary winding supplies the source voltage – The primary winding terminals will be powered by a 220-volt alternating current. The 220 to 110 step-down transformer has a turn ratio of 2:1. As a result, the output voltage would be 110 volts alternating current.
• The secondary winding is connected to the load – This is where the loads that require 110v are connected.

220v to 110v step-down transformer applications

• Electrical appliances
• Radio
• Television
• Washing machines
• Refrigerators etc.

There are numerous applications for step-down transformers of various voltage ranges.

Transformer Power Losses

Ideally, the product of input voltage and current (input power) should equal the output current and voltage. In practice, however, the output power is less than the input power. This is due to transformer losses.

The following are the transformer power losses:

• Losses from Hysteresis
• Unexpected Losses
• Iron Depletion
• Copper Loss or Ohmic Losses
• Eddy Current Losses
• Dielectric Losses
