Yes Anyways You need thin copper wire, the thinner the more voltage output. Tear the secondary out of the transformer (The thicker wire) and save it for another project. Now wind the thinner wire where the thicker wire was and do it at about 1-2 volts added output per wind. Make sure you know where the two ends of the coil are and use the one end where the primary end is. Take the 2nd end of the new coil and put it on the other side. This is your output.

No, a CT can not be used as a PT. They are two different types of Transformers that are designed to do two specific operations in relation to voltage and amperage monitoring.

Can you use transformer with your 110 aircon?

A transformer can be used to change the voltage to an appliance. The voltage rating of the transformer should be right for the voltages used, and the current rating of the transformer should not be less than the current drawn by the equipment.


What is the purpose of constant voltage transformer?

The term 'constant voltage transformer' is used to differentiate the operation of transformers that are intended to change voltage levels, from those intended to change current levels -a current transformer (CT), for example, is termed a 'constant current transformer'.

What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifer?

A transformer is used to change the value of a voltage applied to the transformer's primary winding to a different voltage value taken from the transformers secondary winding. A rectifier is used to change an alternating current value to a direct current value.


How current transfomer is step up voltage transformer n step down current transformer?

Current transformers are not voltage transformers. Current transformer are used for metering or protection purposes, with single turn primary. Generally the secondary current is either 1Amps or 5Amps.
