The difference between isolation transformer and ordinary transformer

Nov 09,2021

Recently, our company website has received many inquiries from customers about the difference between isolation transformers and ordinary transformers. Today, the editor will give you a detailed answer, and you can understand it at a glance.

As a relatively safe transformer in the industry, the isolation transformer is used by more and more industries due to its excellent product performance, and the production development speed is also getting faster and faster. So what are the differences between it and ordinary transformers?

In fact, the working principle of the isolation transformer is the same as that of the ordinary transformer. They both use the principle of electromagnetic induction between coils. However, the isolation transformer is a double-winding structure, with primary and secondary insulation, anti-harmonic interference, and complete isolation of input and output, so the isolation transformer is much safer to use than ordinary transformers.

As you know, many units buy isolation transformers that are more expensive. The reason is that it is primary and secondary insulation, which is safer. Ordinary transformers may be self-coupling transformers, single windings, relatively low design costs, relatively small sizes, and cannot resist harmonic interference. The difference between isolation transformers and ordinary transformers lies in safety isolation, anti-harmonic, price, volume, etc.
