Transformers are electromagnetic devices that allow electrical power supplied at one potential to be transformed into electrical power at another potential. The potential or voltage may be stepped up (increased) or stepped down (decreased). For instance, in the usual transmission of domestic power, the potential in the transmission lines is greater than the load requirements and a step down transformer is used to reduce the potential at the end use point. 

The power requirements for heating the crucible are adequately met by a 20-A variable transformer (120-V input, 0-120 V output) feeding a 1.5-kW step-down transformer designed for a 15-V output with a 120-V input. Cables to the reactor electrodes must be of adequate size to handle the large currents, which may range up to 300 A. A rough idea of the voltage and current requirements for specific metals may be obtained from Table I. 

The furnace is heated by low voltage (usually 10 V) and high current (up to 500 A) from a well stabilized step-down transformer. For optimum precision, the voltage should be well stabilized, often by a feedback loop which may be temperature feed-back based (see Section 3.6.1). A rapid rise-time of the temperature is also preferable, because of theoretical considerations of peak shapes. This has implications for power supply design and furnace design, as will be shown below. Currently, furnaces are available that reach temperatures of up to 3000°C, and temperatures of 2500°C should be reached in less than 2 s in a well designed furnace. 

Transformers have a magnetic material (typically, Fe) and two inductors wrapped around it the magnet increases by a few thousandfold the mutual inductance Mbetween the two loops. Transformers are used to increase (step-up transformer) or decrease (step-down transformer) the voltage in the second circuit relative to the first. 

Maximum voltage/current/power KW available on secondary (LT) side in case of step-down transformer (which may be used for electrically heated furnaces) at various output voltages. 

Step down transformers are used to reduce the output voltage, often for safety reasons. Figure 2.57 shows a step down transformer where the primary winding has twice as many turns as the secondary winding. The turns ratio is 2 1 and, therefore, the secondary voltage is halved. 

A step down transformer has 1000 turns on the primary winding and 500 turns on the secondary winding. If the input voltage was 230 V the output voltage will be ...

The choice of either of two arrangements on both the primary and secondary gives four possibilities in a transformer. The wye-delta connection is a common one in chlor-alkali plants, as it is in many industrial installations. It is favored in step-down transformers partly because of the neutral connection that is available and the consequent relative ease of grounding the high-voltage side. For the same reason, the delta-wye hookup is common in step-up transformers.
