Definition
转换 (zhuǎnhuàn) means to change or convert something from one state, form, or system to another, often used in technical, career, or energy contexts. It is more formal and specific than 换 (huàn, HSK3), which broadly means 'to exchange/change'. Compared to 转变 (zhuǎnbiàn, HSK5), which focuses on abstract shifts like attitudes or ideas, 转换 emphasizes concrete, operational transformations.
