Whether used for power supply or signal interfacing, transformers are a key component of audio equipment. What is surprising is the extent to which these apparently simple devices are misunderstood. This engineering brief seeks to dispel some of the more common myths, to clarify the relationships between voltage, current, flux, and saturation and to thereby assist with proper design, selection, and application of (mainly) power transformers
