Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flexible transformer and more particularly to a secondary winding structure of a flexible transformer manufactured by laminating circular sheets having an opening at the center thereof.
- Transformers are utilized in various fields. Transformers are devices that increase or decrease the voltage of alternating current. They are usually fabricated by winding several coils of wire around a large magnetic core. Cores may be cylindrical, but typically toroidal cores are used. One coil, called the primary coil, is connected to the input circuit, in which the voltage is to be changed. The other coil, called the secondary coil, is connected to the output circuit, where the electricity with the changed (increased or decreased) voltage is used.
