Hi, I'm an apprentice multiskilled engineer, thought I prefer electrical engineering
anywho, my power shower at home stopped working and upon testing there was no ouput from the transformer, 230v/24v DC and it got me thinking, I'm aware of the step up/down voltage theory etc and the windings etc.
If the the voltage is stepped down roughly ten times doesn't that in theory mean the current is stepped up ten times, but surely this can't be the case for a little electric motor in a power shower would be blown to bits if the current was ramped that high
Could someone explain to me what's happening here?
cheers
