2. An apparatus which transforms continuous currents from one voltage to another, or continuous into alternating currents or vice versa. (After French transformateur (Hospitalier, 1882).) In modern use, a static apparatus in which an alternating or pulsating current in one winding induces an alternating current in a second winding, usually with different values of voltage and current.
