Signal transformer(s)
The other one designated "Transformatoren" in your text would then be "power transformers". See also my reference below.

carrier
The frequency that carries the information (as modulation of) is called "carrier" - in wired or wireless communications. It is a very old term.

: Of course they are talking about a power line carrier. However, the text definitely describes a device for transforming the carrier, not the carrier itself. ('zum Transformieren von tonfrequenter oder höherfrequenter Wechselspannungen')

Context incomplete but I think it is about Power Line Carrier - communications at high frequency over the power line itself - no additional wires/devices
