Transformers
The simplest converter is a trans-former, transforming or converting one voltage into another voltage, for instance 440 V into 110 V.
Transformers have losses, as heat is produced during this conversion. The efficiency is usually between 90 and 98 percent, depending on size, a reason to avoid transform¬ers in power distribution systems
