Frequently Asked Questions
  • Can a transformer be used at higher frequencies?
  • Yes. “Line frequency” transformers are designed for use at 50 Hz and/or 60 Hz, but “high frequency” transformers are designed to operate at higher frequencies – kHz, MHz, and beyond. High frequency transformers can be made smaller than their 60Hz counterparts of the same power level, but they introduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) considerations that are largely be ignored at lower frequencies.
