Description

@llucax

// A representation of a voltage transformer.
// Voltage transformers are used to step up or step down the voltage, keeping
// the power somewhat constant by increasing or decreasing the current.
// If voltage is stepped up, current is stepped down, and vice versa.
// Note that voltage transformers have efficiency losses, so the output power
// is always less than the input power.

This is more accurately described as a power transformer or simply a transformer.

A voltage transformer is a different thing used to lower voltage levels so that they can be measured: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_transformer

I already mentioned the naming mismatch to @tiyash-basu-frequenz.
