What does a boost transformer do?

A boost transformer is a type of transformer which is used to increase the voltage of an AC power supply. It works with an input voltage and outputs a higher voltage.

The boost transformer has a primary winding and a secondary winding. When an AC voltage is applied to the primary winding, it creates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary winding.

The voltage induced in the secondary winding is proportional to the number of turns in the secondary winding. The boost transformer has more turns in the secondary winding than the primary winding. This means that the output voltage will be higher than the input voltage. The voltage increase is determined by the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary winding to the number of turns in the primary winding.

Boost transformers are commonly used in electronic circuits and power systems where a higher voltage is required. They are also used in power distribution systems to compensate for voltage drops over long distances.
