Carrier 38TSA048 Transformer
A basic electrical transformer is quite common in electrical appliances including your HVAC system as it transforms electricity usually from a higher voltage to a lower voltage. Transformers could have a certain criteria and they should follow strict electrical requirements. When you have to replace a transformer in the system, it would be a good idea to buy one that is assessed for the right voltage value that is needed.
