Why cant you use a transformer to increase the voltage of a 60V solar panel?
The output of a solar panel is direct current. Transformers need alternating current to operate.
How do you do a megger test on a current transformer?
The megger test on a generator is usually done to check the insulation factor of a generator. The high voltage is usually used to test the insulation system of a the generator in question. It is recommended to do this test after every six months.
What is the standard output current of a transformer when connected to an ac?
There is no 'standard' output current from a transformer. The secondary (output) current depends on the load, and should not exceed the rated secondary current. To find the rated secondary current, you divide the transformer's rated volt amperes by the rated secondary voltage. The above cited answer need more descriptive ; a) V/Z = I, b) V/Z = I + Magnetizing current of the transformer taken from Primary side of the transformer.
Why is multimeter not used for insulation testing instead of a megger?
No, you cannot use a multimeter in place of a megger. The megger is used to measure insulation resistance, which could be hundreds of megohms or so. In order to do that, you need a high voltage so as to develop the current needed to sense the resistance. Using an ordinary multimeter would not work as the applied voltage is not high enough, causing the sensed current to be too small to detect.
How many turns does a transformer need to take 137V on the primary and produce 47V on the secondary with output current of 20A for a 5kVA stabilizer?
You will need a 3:1 ratio transformer. An output current of 20 amps and a secondary voltage of 47 volts, results in a transformer rated at 940 VA.
Why do we need a transformer if we use a welding machine?
A welder requires high current at the expense of voltage, The transformer reduces the voltage allowing a higher current to operate the welsing machine.

The output of a solar panel is direct current. Transformers need alternating current to operate.
What device is needed to convert 110 to 220 volt?
For higher current applications you would need a power transformer, for lower current applications you would need an adapter transformer.

How is no load current reduced?
No load current, in a transformer for example, is the current necessary for exciting the transformer. If you wish to keep it energized, and you need to keep it energized at full voltage, there is nothing you can do to reduce this other than replace the transformer with one that has lower no load current. If you are referring to a different piece of equipment, you may need to specify what you are meaning by "no load current".

Do you have to use a transformer if your device have 900 Watts 220 V and 60 Hz with 7.5 amps?
If your device uses 900 Watts at 7.5 Amps, then it requires 120 volts. If you want to use it where the supplied current is 220 volts, then you'll need a transformer - but only if the device can operate on 50 Hz. Most places that use 220 Volts supply it at 50 Hz. If your device says it can operate on 50 Hz you can use a transformer.
What is the difference between step up and step down?
in transformers for instance a stepup transformer does exactly that, steps up the voltageAND/OR theamperage and a step down transformer reduces the same. if you have a machine that operates on say 120 volts alternating current single phase and your building or power supply in your buildingis set up for or delivers480 volts alternating current-three phase you will need a step down transformer to operate the machine.
What size of wire need to test using megger?
A megger is used to test insulation values. It doesn't have to be wire only. Any device that has electricity flowing through it can have its electrical insulation properties checked to see if there is any current leakage to ground. So to answer your question any size wire's insulation can be megger tested.

How demagnetize an electric motor?
A transformer winding only produces a magnetic field when current flows through it. Switch the current off, and the magnetic field disappears. You do not need to 'demagnetise' a transformer winding.
