Testing Linear Transformer

Testing transformer is very easy if you follow the procedure explained in
this book. Generally there are two types of transformer in the market i.e.
the linear type and the switch mode power transformer. In this page I’m
only explain on how to test the linear transformer. I will explain about the
switch mode transformer in next chapter. Before that, I would like you to
know what the function of a transformer is. The function of a
transformer is to change AC voltage. A transformer cannot change
direct current (DC) voltage. Transformer is label as “T” in circuit board.
