Three Phase Transformers have three windings. If connected in Delta, it will have R Y B phase winding, voltage between RY, YB and BR. Phase voltage and line voltage are same.

If connected in Star, there will be a neutral as well with RYB. Line voltage and Phase voltage are different. Line voltage = 1.73 x Phase voltage.

There is no such thing as a 3-phase transformer.

A 3-phase transformer is simply three transformers. You can connect the primaries in wye or delta, and you can connect the secondaries in wye or delta. It all depends on the application.

AnswerOf course there is such a thing as a 'three-phase transformer'! They are widely-used throughout the electrical transmission and distribution systems.

What the first answer is describing is a 'three-phase transformer bank', comprising three, separate, but identical, single-phase transformers, connected to supply a three-phase load.

In distribution systems, three-phase transformer banks seem to be more common in North America than they are, for example, in the UK and Europe where three-phase transformers are the norm

A three-phase transformer consists of three primary-windings and three-secondary windings, installed on the three limbs of a common silicon-steel core, enclosed within a steel tank, which is normally filled with a mineral oil to provided both insulation and cooling.

The principle of operation of a three-phase transformer is too complicated to describe in this forum -better to do some research in a library or on line.

Does a basic transfomer in its normal operation use step up voltage step down voltage step up current or all?

A transformer has a primary and a secondary side. There is a ratio of windings from one side to the other that dictates whether it is a step up or step down transformer. The transformer is usually marked as to the input and output specifications. The current is directly proportional to voltage. If you had a transformer that was a step up from primary to secondary, it would be step down from secondary to primary.
