Door Chime Transformer: Voltage Reducer &Amp; Chime Power Source

A door chime transformer is a crucial component of a door chime system that converts the electrical voltage from a standard household outlet (typically 120 volts AC) to the lower voltage required to power the chime (usually 12-24 volts AC). It consists of coils, rectifiers, capacitors, and voltage regulators, working together to safely reduce the voltage while maintaining the alternating current waveform necessary for chime operation. The transformer ensures that the chime receives the appropriate voltage for optimal performance and prevents potential electrical hazards.
