Wiktionary 
- transformer (Noun)
Something that transforms, changing its own or another thing's shape. - transformer (Noun)
A static device that transfers electric energy from one circuit to another by magnetic coupling. Their main use is to transfer energy between different voltage levels, which allows choosing most appropriate voltage for power generation, transmission and distribution separately.
Webster DictionaryWebster's Unabridged Dictionary 📘
- transformer (n.)
One who, or that which, transforms. Specif. (Elec.), an apparatus for producing from a given electrical current another current of different voltage.
