The authors consider the aspects of electric current distribution in electrically conductive anisotropic medium and establish how geometrical factors affect its longitudinal and transverse components.
In the case of an a×b×с rectangular plate, its selected crystallographic axes are located on the plane of the side face a×b, whereas one of these axes is oriented at an angle α to the edge a. Applying a certain potential difference to the upper and lower end faces of the plate causes the appearance of longitudinal and transverse components of the internal electric current. The paper demonstrates the possibility of transforming the magnitude of the electric current and a way to optimize this magnitude.
The transformation coefficient of such a device is determined by the anisotropy of the electrical conductivity of the plate and the coefficient of its shape k = a/b. The authors consider a few versions of anisotropic dielectric transformer design and offer their equivalent electric circuits. Another suggested transformer design is spiral in shape, compact and is characterized by high transformation coefficient value n. For example, at external radius r1 = 12,5 mm, internal radius r2 = 2 mm, height b = 2 mm and plate thickness c = 2,0 mm, its transformation coefficient n = 103.
The information is given on existing monocrystalline and artificial anisotropic materials that can be used for the proposed device. High-temperature superconducting materials characterized by a high value of residual resistance anisotropy hold special promise in this case.
Using the described transformation effect will significantly expand the possibilities of practical application of the considered electroohmic phenomenon. This will lead to the emergence of a new generation of devices for microwave technology, electronics and power engineering.

Keywords: anisotropy, electrically conductive medium, electric current, transformer, transformation coefficient.
