THE TRANSFORMER

ed ths electrician in charge when
asked why the lights were out for
ten minutes.
Transformer burned out-er, er,
yes-to be sure"
About all any of US can do is to
stammer and hang UP the receiver
when the electrician begins to talk
about a transformer. And yet, do
YOU know, there is nothing SO very
hard to understand about a trans

Let US begin at ths beginning. The
electricity used in this city is pre-.
Gsced at a water power station To-
Gated on a small river about 100
miles away. This electricity Is car
rled across the country, from the
power station to the city, on slender
wires suspended high above the
ground on steel towers. These wires
are not very large, probably about
the diameter OF your little finger.
/ Now electricity is very much like
water in one respect. If large guam
tity OF water Is to be transmitted
( across the country at low pressure
a very large water main, Or canal,
must be used. The same quantity o.
water, under high pressure, can DE
sent through vastly smaller pipe.
/ We can easily raise the water pres
sure with centrifugal pump. But to
raise the pressure OF an electrical
current we have to use a transform

The transformer, as its name i'm
plies, transforms low voltage, OF
pressure, to a high voltage. And this
machine can also be reversed and
used to "step-down'' high voltage
current to low voltage line. Now
strange to say, the transformer has
no moving parts. It consists OF .
