@article{osti_6851152, author = {Coltman, J W}, title = {The transformer}, annote = {The transformer is an essential component of modern electric power systems. It converts electricity with a low current and a high voltage into electricity with a high current and a low voltage (or vice versa) with almost no loss of energy. This paper reviews the history of the development of the transformer from Faraday's experiments in 1831 to the modern-day oil-cooled version. A brief forecast is made of its future development.}, doi = {10.1038/scientificamerican0188-86}, url = {https://www.osti.gov/biblio/6851152}, journal = {Scientific American; (USA)}, issn = {ISSN 0036-8733}, volume = {258:1}, place = {United States}, year = {1988}, month = {01}}
