age of alternator A., that of the sec-ondary circuit F. L. G. will be three-eighths of it becausethere are eight turns on the primary and three turns on thesecondary. The power in the secondary circuit is practi-cally the same (minus the losses) as is given out by the al-ternator,, hence the… … Fig. 587 COILS, AIR DUCTS AND SEPARATORS FOR TRANSFORMER sure, it is evident that the transformer simply transfers thepower, and transforms the voltage, and indirectly the cur-rent. This transformer (Fig. 585) lowers the voltage and iscalled a step down transformer. When the secondary is connected…
