Yleisiä muuntajia ovat sähköverkon jakelumuuntajat. Monet tavalliset laitteet kuten verkkokäyttöisten laitteiden virtalähteet, laturit, taajuusmuuttajat ja vaihtosuuntaajat sisältävät muuntajan tapaan toimivia käämityksiä, mutta niiden lisäksi myös elektronisia komponentteja.

Transformers can come in many different sizes, from a very small coupling transformer inside a stage microphone to big units that carry hundreds of MVA used in power grids.

The main reason to use a transformer is to make power of one voltage level into power of another voltage level. High voltage is easier to send a long distance, but less voltage is easier and safer to use in the office or home. Transformers are used to increase or decrease alternating current (AC) voltage in circuits. The transformer is usually built with two coils around the same core. The primary coil is connected to supply side while secondary coil supplies power to load. The second one is called the output coil. The electromagnetism in a transformer is the energy source for the transformer. In power grids many transformers are used. These are networks for delivering electricity from the generator and to the user. It is more common nowadays to use a smart grid. A smart grid is similar to a power grid but has a system that automatically controls the flow of electricity. The transformers in your neighborhood, on electricity poles, or the ones connected to underground wires, usually transform high voltage of 7,200 volts to 220-240 volts of electricity to power lights and appliances such as refrigerators in homes and businesses. Some countries, such as America use different voltages in homes, such as 110 volts. Transformers cannot increase power, so if the voltage is raised, the current is proportionally lowered. If the voltage is lowered, the current is proportionally increased.

There are several basic types of transformers:

• Step-up transformer: the voltage output is greater than the voltage input.
• Step-down transformer: the voltage input is greater than the voltage output.
• Some transformers have the same output voltage as input voltage and are used to electrically isolate two electrical circuits.
