Reducing Power Consumption Using Booster Transformers

The efficient use of electrical power is essential to our existence, as the energy resources of most Eastern European countries, including Bulgaria, are limited. In the 21st century, this problem is becoming critical, due to the fact that everywhere electrical energy consumption is steadily increasing and energy resources are running out. This paper proposes a relatively simple, economical, and reliable solution to the problem of reducing the power consumption of the network supply by using variant of booster transformer, working increasing voltage mode (buck transformer). This solution is applicable at any time of the day or night when reduced power consumption is acceptable without significantly affecting the consumers. It can be successfully applied in the late hours of the night and especially in street lighting systems, illuminated advertisements, household appliances, etc. The paper discusses the working modes of the suggested solution, some potential areas of its application, and discusses the advantages of volt-voltage transformers in limiting electrical power consumption compared to other existing solutions.
