01
Artifact Overview
A power transformer generally converts an input current into an output current of higher or lower voltage. An "A" battery running 6 volts of DC power might be coupled with a wall socket running 110 volts AC power, for example. Transformers helped meet the diverse power needs of radio components, both before and after the popularization of home electricity.
