Does the ac generator produce the 11kv or we get the 11kv via step up transformer?

I've seen AC generators that have output voltages from 120v to near 30kV. Likely you get your electricity from a large generator, that is connected to a step up transformer (few kV - 30kV stepped up to transmission voltage levels of 100kV - 750kV), which transmits the power through the bulk electric system, then down through step down Transformers, through subT and distribution networks to your home.

Can a 400-110v step-down transformer be reverse-connected to the secondary of an 11kv-110v transformer to obtain a 400v 3-phase and neutral output from an 11kv mains panel to make an AMF mains input?
Possibly... but only a trained electrical technician would be licensed to do that kind of work!
What would be minimum capacity of transformer betweed generator and 220 kV transmission line system?
At a minimum, the main step up transformer for a generator should carry 105% of the full MW output of the generator.
How do you reduce a 230v ac transformer to produce 140v ac?
By using step-down transformer
Why the generating stations produce 11kv voltage and it step up to 33kv during transmission.. why we should not use 230volts to generated and can step up to 11kv.. why?
if we take 11kv /33kv yhe current produced will be less when compared to 230v/11kv.. the curent produced will be gerater than 1000amp or above so the winding of the transformers will damage because thier is no winding at present to with stand the huge amount of current by K.B.N.GANGADHAR sasi institute of technology and engineering
Why is the primary of a transformer 11kv?
It isn't necessarily the case. In the UK electricity distribution system, you have 33/11-kV step-down tranformers (where 11 kV is the secondary side) or 11-kV/400-230-V step-up transformers (where 11 kV is the primary side).
How is 11kv convert to 230v?
The higher voltage it transformed to a lower voltage by the use of a step down transformer.
Can we use transformer as a generator?
No. Transformer essentially can step up or step down voltage or provide same voltage across the secondary side. It can not generate voltage on its own. Generator is essentially a rotating device. Transformer is a static device.
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.

How can you produce 220V electricity?
To produce 220 volts of electricity you would need some form of a generator or alternator with the correct configuration to output 220V. The other ways to produce 220 V: (1) Using a step up transformer if the voltage is lower than 220 V. (2) Using a step down transformer if the voltage is higher than 220 V.

When would you us a step-up transformer the HVAC industry?
They are mostly used to step up the voltage of the power from a generator.
Why normally Generator rating are between 11Kv to 22Kv?
Because if we use a generator of 33kv or higher then the radii must be of 2-3 meters that is not good. And also the area of the generator will be very high and losses and heat paameters will also be high. The main point is that we use 11kv generator at power plants and we have to step up the power to 220KV or 500KV etc. So we use 11kv or 22kv instead of 33 kv or higher.. By doing so we save the cost of area required, radii of rotor, and losses produced by higher power generators.

Can a transformer be used to power a deep fridge from a generator?
You power "type" must match. Most likely your generator should be able to have the fridge plug directly in, but you may indeed need a transformer to step the voltage up or down.
