Center-Tapped Transformers - Short #145
In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks even more about sine waves and center-tapped transformers.
Power is generated at the power plant when an energy source (such as steam) is used to drive a drive shaft. The resulting current can be mapped as sine waves, which actually represent points on a circle; there is a rotational magnetic field around stationary conductors, and the sine waves allow us to envision the positive and negative alternations as the rotation happens.
Center-tapped transformers use "neutral" as a reference point. The secondary winding on a center-tapped transformer may…
