Course overview
Special transformers are used in many applications. For example, current transformers and potential transformers are important in metering and measuring electricity for control and billing. The Special Transformer training course identifies the different special transformer types and describes how they're used. The special transformers discussed in this online course include reactors, isolation transformers, auto-transformers, buck-boost transformers, control transformers, potential transformers, current transformers, and K-factor transformers. This course is part of the Transformers training series.
