Sure. The description only depends on which side gets the excitation and which

side provides the output. Excite the shorter winding and you have a step-up.

Excite the longer winding and you have a step-down.

How do you produce a step-up transformer in an ordinary transformer?

Transformer function is either to step-up or down the voltage. There is nothing like an ordinary transformer.


Device used to step voltage up or down?

As transformers do not work with DC., the answer is a voltage divider network (step down) or a voltage multiplier network (step up).


What is the different between et up and set down transformer?

the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer is that, in a tsep up transformer, the voltage secondary is greater than the primary side but in a step down transformer, the voltage secondary is lesser than the primary side


What is the differences between a step-down transformer and a step-up transformer?

the main function of transformer is to change the magnitude of Voltage. difference between step up and step down is step up will change the input voltage into a larger magnitude of output while step down is vice versa


What is the primary function of a step-down transformer that distinguishes it from a step-up transformer?

A step-down transformer reduces the voltage from a higher level to a lower level, while a step-up transformer increases the voltage from a lower level to a higher level.


Can one step up power from inverter with step-up transformer?

No. You can not step up power with a transformer. You can step up voltage, while stepping down current, or you can step up current, while stepping down voltage, but you cannot step up (or down) power.


Where can i buy a step down transformer online?

You can go to ebay.com. Then sign up for an account and search for "step down transformer."


How can you see that the transformer is a step down or a step up?

If the primary voltage (input) is less than the secondary (output) then it is a step-up. If the input is greater than the output then it is a step-down transformer.


When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?

If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.
