🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a transformer in AC systems (how it relates voltage and current, not power or frequency) • Relationship between voltage level and different shipboard loads (lighting, motors, electronics) • Difference between frequency (Hz) and voltage (V) in AC power systems

💭 Think About

• Ask what a transformer actually changes in an AC circuit: is it voltage, current, power, or frequency? • Consider why a ship might need multiple voltage levels from one main AC generator bus. • Look at the options that mention frequency and power: do transformers normally perform those functions directly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that a transformer operates on AC and primarily affects voltage and current ratio. • Verify whether line frequency (50/60 Hz) can be changed by a standard transformer alone. • Think about typical shipboard systems (lighting, electronics, large motors): do they often run at the same voltage as the main generator output?
