Yes, it is. 'Tis you who cannot get your head around the fact - that it is just a word which means something and that is what they do.
No, it isn't.
Yes, they do. They conform to the main one. They transform voltage.
So, you agree that they transform voltage. What does that make them, then?
No matter.
What about IEC 61558-2-16 "Safety of transformers, reactors, power supply units and similar products for supply voltages up to 1 100 V - Part 2-16: Particular requirements and tests for switch mode power supply units and transformers for switch mode power supply units" ?
I'm not sure that proves anything. It's not an exclusive "transformer Standard" such as EFLI was presumably eluding to - "transformers" and "power supply units" are just two in the list of things in it's title. For example, I think we could probably agree that "transformers" and "reactors" are not the same thing, even though they both exist in that list.
Yes, but the generic list that you refer to is the overall title of 61558. Look at the title of the specific Part: "Particular requirements and tests for switch mode power supply units and transformers for switch mode power supply units" (my emphasis). Doesn't that make it clear that switch mode power supply units are included in the general standard for transformers?
(my red emphasis added) I think know what winston would probably say - that it 'makes it clear' that switched mode power supplies contain transformer(s) as one of their (many) internal components!
Fair enough - but I don't see that adds anything to the argument that they are "transformers", does it?
You are deranged, and in such denial of obvious truths that one might be forgiven for thinking that you are knowingly and deliberately saying things which you know to be untrue.
No it isn't - it is perfectly correct, because that is what some of them are called. Do I need to post more photos to show you the truth of what I say, and the falsity of what you say? What's the name for someone who deliberately says things which he knows are untrue?
They transform a voltage from one nature to another, ergo they are "transformers". They do so electronically, not inductively, ergo they are "electronic transformers".
They don't have to. There is no definition which says that they do. If you continue to claim that there is then you are someone who is deliberately saying things which he knows are untrue.

They are ELECTRONIC transformers.

sorry, that was a reply to the original post before it was TRANSFORMED
