Step-Down Transformer

A transformer that produces a lower voltage at its secondary than is applied to its primary.

Secondary Voltage

A voltage that is output by the secondary winding of a transformer.

Primary Voltage

The initial voltage level supplied to a transformer or another primary component in a circuit.
