Definition of 'faraday's transformer'

The Standard Electrical Dictionary

1. faraday's transformer
The first transformer. It was made by Michael Faraday. It was a ring of soft iron 7/8 inch thick, and 6 inches in external diameter. It was wound with bare wire, calico being used to prevent contact of the wire with the ring and of the layers of wire with each other, while twine was wound between the convolutions to prevent the wires from touching. Seventy-two feet of copper wire, 1/20 inch diameter, were wound in three superimposed coils, covering about one-half of the ring. On the other half sixty feet of copper wire were wound in two superimposed coils. Faraday connected his coils in different ways and used a galvanometer to measure the current produced by making and breaking one of the circuits used as a primary.

The coil is of historic interest.
