Michael Faraday built the first transformer, using them only to demonstrate the principle of electromagnetic induction, not foreseeing the use to which transformers would eventually be put. Below are a collection of transformer-related articles from T&D World, providing information on recent transformer innovations, transformer suppliers, and other transformer news.
