Difference between step up and step down transformers?
Actually an isolation transformer may be physically the same as a Step up/Step Down transformer. The main difference is in the way they are used. Another difference is that in a normal transformer there will be capacitance between the 2 windings, between the windings and core, between the core and shell, etc. These capacitances bring in high frequency noise from outside, which will be transmitted in the secondary circuit. So [in an isolation transformer] wires are connected between each component, (not direct contact, but with insulation present). This permits a leakage current and eliminates unnecessary capacitance. I could make a start to answer this question. Isolation transformer: is a transformer with two separate windings, the primary and the secondary. There is an electrical isolation between the primary and the secondary. Nearly any type of transformer with two non-connected windings could be considered an "isolation" transformer, in that it electrically isolates the primary voltage from the secondary voltage. There are also transformers with one winding (called auto-transformers) and connections for input and output. If the input is low voltage and the output a higher, then you can say it is a STEP-UP transformer. If the input is high and the output is low, then you can say it is a STEP-DOWN. This type of transformer can not by used where safety is a large factor.
An isolation transformer has 500 turns on the primary winding how many turns are on the secondary?
An isolation transformer is intended to isolate the ground path in the primary from the secondary while maintaining the same voltage on the secondary. This means a turns ratio of 1 to 1. If there are 500 turns on the primary, then there will be 500 turns on the secondary.
How To Test An 230vac -230vac Isolation Transformer?
Make sure there is no voltage measured between line of secondary and neutral of primary. I.e. neutral of primary and secondary are not connected by any means.
What type of voltage is passed trough a transformer?
Voltage doesn't 'pass through' anything! Voltage is another word for 'potential difference', and is measured between two points in a circuit. For a transformer to work, it's necessary to apply an a.c. voltage across the transformer's primary terminals.

What is the difference between an isolation transformer and distribution transformer?
in isolation transformer earthing is not provide on secondary side but in ordinary transformer neutral of secondary side is earthedAnswerAn isolation transformer is a 1:1 ratio transformer; its function is to electrically isolate the secondary side from the primary side without changing the voltage. An example of an isolation transformer is the one used in a shaver socket.A distribution transformer is a step-down transformer, used within the electricity network's distribution system. An example of distribution transformer is a pole-mounted transformer, supplying low voltage to residences.(Of course, all mutual transformers provide electrical isolation between primary and secondary.)
What are the voaltg in isolation transformer?
The function of an isolation transformer is to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, without changing the voltage levels. So, its secondary voltage will be the same as the primary voltage.
How many turns in secondary coil in Transformer?
It depends on the type of transformer.If it is a step up transformer the number of turns in secondary side is higher than primary.Stepdown means it will have fewer number of windings on the secondary side turns when compared with the primary side.An isolation transformer has the same number of windings on the primary as the secondary.The ratio of the windings is proportional to the increase or decrease in the secondary voltage. For example, twice the windings doubles the voltage and 1/2 the windings halves the secondary voltage. The isolation transformer is denoted as 1:1 and has the same voltage on the secondary as the primary.The ratio of secondary turns to primary turns is the same as the ratio of secondary voltage to primary voltage.e.g. if the secondary to primary turns ratio is 1/10, then the secondary voltage will be one tenth of the primary voltage.

What is an Earthed voltage transformer?
An earthing transformer provides a neutral in a delta connected system.
What is the application of transformers having both primary and secondary voltage same?
When the primary and secondary voltages are the same the transformer is being used for isolation. The secondary side will have galvanic isolation from the primary side. The purpose of the is to protect secondary load if a fault occurs on the primary side. The impedance of the transformer will limit the fault current on the secondary which should save equipment.
What are the output voltage and current of a transformer determined by?
The secondary (output) voltage is determined by the primary voltage and the turns ratio of the transformer. The secondary current is determined by the secondary voltage and the load resistance.
What is the voltage that is provided by the transformer is called the?
Secondary voltage.
Are the primary and secondary of a transformer having same thickness.why?
Unless the transformer is an isolation transformer, whose primary and secondary voltages are the same, the cross-sectional area of the primary and secondary winding conductors are normally different. The higher-voltage winding has a smaller current flowing through it than the lower-voltage winding when the transformer is loaded. So the higher-voltage winding is manufactured using a conductor with a smaller cross-sectional area, therefore a smaller diameter.
What is the difference between a secondary and primary coil?
The primary coil is the one with voltage applied, or the 'input'. The secondary coil is the one in which a voltage is induced by electromagnetism, or the 'output'. In a step up transformer, the secondary coil voltage is higher than the primary. In a step down transformer, the secondary coil voltage is lower than the primary. In an isolation transformer, the secondary coil voltage is the same as the primary. Here, the point of the transformer isn't to raise or lower voltage, but to keep a particular circuit electrically disconnected from another circuit, while still allowing the circuits to function together (through electromagnetism).

Make sure there is no voltage measured between line of secondary and neutral of primary. I.e. neutral of primary and secondary are not connected by any means.
