This series of videos is part of an electrical machines course given by Dr. Lutfi Al-Sharif at the Mechatronics engineering Department at Philadelphia University, Amman, Jordan in the academic year 2013/2014 first semester.  This set of videos discusses transformers.  This part (Part VI) discusses example 2.1 from Stephen J. Chapman (4th edition) which is an excellent demonstration of the excessive losses in a transmission line when transmission is carried out at low voltages.  It shows how the use of a pair of 1:10 step up and step down transformers reduces the transmission line losses by a factor of 100.
