What is a set down transformer?

A stp-down transformer steps voltage down from a high value to a low value. Transformers only work with AC.


Why do transformers work only work on an AC supply?

Transformers only work on ac supply because it principle is mutual induction. DC supply has constant magnitude whereas AC has alternating magnitude. so we can step up or step down current/voltage in transformer in ac only.


What is difference between 24vac and 240 v ac coil?

These are two different rating coils. I will not take 24V and 240V ac coils in this explanation, I will take low voltage ac coil and high voltage ac coil in the explanation in general. Low voltage ac coils have low insulation in general compared to the high voltage coils since we need more insulation for the high voltage coils. Low voltage ac coils have less no of turns and less diameter of coil compared to high voltage ac coils. But the thickness of the conductor used for the ac coil depends on the current rating of the coil only it does not depends on the voltage.


Can you step up AC voltage twice by using two transformers?

Of course. But you will get a little bit of power loss for each transformation.


How can you convert 1000000 volts to several hundred 9 volt power sources?

On the whole AC electrical conversions are done with transformers. In your question both step up and step down transformers will be utilized. Step up transformers will be utilized to get the generated voltage up to transmission voltage. At the voltage transmission destination the voltage will use step down transformers to decrease the voltage to the consumers load requirement. Or you could connect 111111 resistors in series and take the voltage off each one of them .. but ull have to put in consideration the load resistance ..

Can you harness the 1 100th volts that comes from your tongue using transformers and a dc to ac converter?

No. Transformers only work with AC. Tongue-voltage is DC.


What is the function of step-down transformers?

The function of any transformer is to change one AC voltage value to another AC voltage value. A step down transformer will transform a higher AC voltage to a lower AC voltage. A step up transformer will transform a lower AC voltage to a higher AC voltage. The transmission of electrical power uses both of these types of Transformers. From the generation station the voltage is stepped up to a very high transmission voltage and at the end of the transmission line it is stepped down to a voltage that consumers can utilize.


Does centre tap transformer convert ac voltage to ac voltage?

Yes. Transformers convert power by stepping up or down voltage. It doesn't matter what tap configuration they have.


Can you harness the 1 100th of a volt that comes from your tongue using transformers?

No. Transformers only work with AC. Tongue-voltage is DC.


Why do you obtain more dc voltage than ac voltage in power supply design by using transformer?

You don't. Transformers only work with AC voltage. Their input will be an AC waveform, and their output will be an AC waveform. Other electronics are used to convert the stepped down AC waveform from the transformer to DC.


Is tranformer used to increase or decrease AC voltage?

The function of any transformer is to change one AC voltage value to another AC voltage value. A step down transformer will transform a higher AC voltage to a lower AC voltage. A step up transformer will transform a lower AC voltage to a higher AC voltage. The transmission of electrical power uses both of these types of transformers. From the generation station the voltage is stepped up to a very high transmission voltage and at the end of the transmission line it is stepped down to a voltage that consumers can utilize.


What components are used to change an AC voltage to a lower or higher value?

Step up transformers are used to increase the voltage to a higher value


Is DC is at low voltage than ac?

There's no correlation between the voltage, the current, and whether the source is AC or DC.


Why ac current is used in a transformer?

AC current or DC current can be used in transformers. A transformer is made of two coils of wire, the input coil induces a current into the output coil. Transformers change the voltage either up (step up transformer) or down (step down transformer). The amount of change in voltage is dependent solely on the number of windings in both coils in the transformer. DC transformers work exactly the same way AC transformers do.


Can you amplify the AC in your data center using an AC transformer and how?

Yes, the AC current can be amplified by using Step-down transformers, but one problem is the AC voltage will decrease with Step-down transformer.


Why do transformers work only work on an AC supply?

Transformers only work on ac supply because it principle is mutual induction. DC supply has constant magnitude whereas AC has alternating magnitude. so we can step up or step down current/voltage in transformer in ac only.
