12-0-12V / 3A Step Down Center-Tapped Transformer

It is a general-purpose chassis mounting mains transformer. The transformer has 240 V primary windings and center-tapped secondary winding. The transformer has flying-colored insulated connecting leads ( Approx 100 mm long ). The Transformer act as a step-down transformer reducing AC  240V to AC 12V. The Transformer gives two outputs of 12V, 12V, and 0V. The Transformers construction is written below with details of Solid Core and Winding. The transformer is a static electrical device that transfers energy by inductive coupling between its winding circuits. A varying current in the primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformers core and thus a varying magnetic flux through the secondary winding. This varying magnetic flux induces a varying electromotive force (E.M.F) or voltage in the secondary winding. The transformer has cores made of high permeability silicon steel. The steel has a permeability many times that of free space and the core thus serves to greatly reduce the magnetizing current and confine the flux to a path that closely couples the windings.
