The video tutorial explains the use of transformers in adjusting voltage levels for efficient power transmission. It covers how step up transformers increase voltage to reduce energy loss over long distances, while step down transformers decrease voltage for safe home use. The tutorial also discusses the differences in voltage systems between North America and the rest of the world, highlighting the A3 and A2 wire systems.
