The standard three-phase distribution transformer in the UK is a delta/star connection with a rated primary line voltage of 11 kV, and a nominal secondary line voltage of 400 V, giving a secondary phase voltage of 230 V.
So, the secondary provides a three-phase, four-wire, system comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor. The line-to-line (line voltage) voltage is 400 V and the line-to-neutral (phase voltage) voltage is 230 V.
There are not 'three types' of supply obtained from this arrangement.

Does the transformer require exactly 230V as an input supply else can we use 50V as the input for it?
You can apply a lower-than-rated voltage to the primary winding of a transformer, and the secondary winding will then alter by the same proportion. So, for example, for a step-down transformer, if a 230-V primary voltage results in, say, a 115-V secondary voltage, then applying a 50-V primary voltage will result in a 25-V secondary voltage.
Does line to ground voltage always half the value of line to line voltage?
Line to Ground voltage = line to line voltage / 1.73AnswerIt depends what configuration is being measured. In the case of the secondary of a split-phase distribution transformer used to supply residences in North America, the answer is yes. In the case of a star (wye) connected secondary distribution transformer used to supply residences in Europe, no: the line to ground voltage will be as described in the first answer.
How do you calculate current flow transformer when 240 Vrms is supply?
The secondary current of a transformer is determined by the load and the secondary voltage applied to that load, and this, in turn, will determine the primary current by the inverse of the turns ratio. However, if you are asking about a transformer's rated secondary and primary currents, then you need to divide the transformer's apparent power rating (expressed in volt amperes) by the rated secondary and primary voltages respectively.
Does a step-up transformer have a higher primary or secondary resistance?
It is a step up transformer since the secondary windings are greater than the primary. the turns ratio is (primary to secondary) 1:5, so the primary voltages is 1/5 of the secondary (5 volts).
How do you reduce Transformer 6VA to 3VA?
In 2 words, you cannot! It is like asking how can I make a 60W light bulb into a 30W light bulb. If you are wanting to know this because a specification dictates that you need a 3VA transformer then anything larger is OK. However, you must pay attention to the voltages on the transformer. Firstly, assuming that this transformer is to operate on the mains supply, it should have the correct primary voltage for the mains supply in your area. In most, though not all of Europe, it is standardised at 230V 50Hz. The secondary (usually the output) should have the desired voltage output. This, for example, might be 6V A.C. If it is the only output then, if it is a 6VA transformer, it will be able to supply 1A maximum current. If it is a 3VA transformer, supplying 6V, it will be able to supply a current of 0.5A maximum. The term VA is for Volt-Amps. It refers to the power that would be developed in a resistive load. Hence the secondary voltage (V) multiplied by the maximum current rating (A) gives VA. Thus, if you have a transformer rated at 12VA and the secondary voltage is 5V then the maximum current the transformer can supply is VA/V=12/5=2.40AAnother AnswerThe volt ampere rating of a transformer simply indicates the maximum load it can supply without overheating. The same transformer can supply ANY load below that value. So there's absolutely no problem operating a 6 V.A transformer at 3 V.A.
What happens if a dc supply is given to a transformer under no load?
when dc supply is given to transformer at primary winding , the output at secondary winding will be zero.Because to induce voltage ,countnie changing flux is required ,that can not be obtained from dc supply...........
Why keep a voltage transformer secondary open?
it is keep open so as to supply voltage to the loadAnswerThe secondary winding of a transformer is NOT necessarily kept open, unless you want to disconnect its load.
What happen if the secondary side of step down transformer supply a bigger voltage?
it would be called a step up transformer
What are the primary winding and secondary winding of a transformer?
The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary' are unrelated to voltage levels.
Is there more current in the primary or secondary winding of a transformer?
The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', describe how a transformer is connected and his nothing to do with which is the lower- and higher-voltage winding.The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. So, for astep-up transformer, the secondary winding is the higher voltage winding, whereas for a step-down transformer, the secondary winding is the lower voltage winding.For a loaded transformer, i.e. a transformer whose secondary is supplying a load, the higher-voltage winding carries the smaller current, while the lower-voltage winding carries the higher current.
What are possible uses of a single phase 30VA transformer?
To continuously supply a load of up to 30-V.A at the rated secondary voltage of the transformer.
What happens to the current as the voltage is increased by the step up transformer?
Compare a transformer to a balancing act. Both side need to remain equal.The primary side of the transformer is the supply side and the load is connected to the secondary side of the transformer.The load governs the current of the secondary side of the transformer and the voltage of the secondary side must match the voltage that the load required to operate.The ratio of the transformer will determine what the voltage of the secondary side is as compared to the voltage that has to be applied to the primary.The current of a step up transformer will be higher on the primary side that that of the secondary.Apply voltage and current to this concept and you will see that the transformer will remain balanced.The size of the transformer is always calculated from the secondary side of the transformer and the value is written in VA or KVA where V = voltage and A = amperage. Power factor is also taken into consideration when calculating the size of the transformer to be used.
How can you identify which one is step up or step down transformer?
A transformer has two windings, termed the 'primary winding' and the 'secondary winding'. The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load. The secondary voltage of a 'step up' transformer is higher than the primary voltage; the secondary voltage of a 'step down' transformer is lower than the primary voltage. The simplest way to determine whether a transformer is a step up or step down, is to measure the primary and secondary voltages. If you are simply looking at a transformer, then the transformer's insulated bushings will give you a clue -the higher voltage bushings are much bigger than the lower voltage bushings. If you have access to the inside of the transformer, then the higher voltage windings are thinner and have a greater number of turns than the lower-voltage winding.
How does a transformer work you mean how does it reduce current and increase the voltage you have tried the math this doesnt make any sense?
A transformer has a primary (Where the AC supply voltage is applied); and a secondary where a voltage is induced by a fluctuating magnetic field in the iron core of the transformer. The secondary voltage depends on the ratio of windings between the primary and secondary. Since the transformer can't manufacture power the product of the voltage and current at the primary exceeds that in the secondary. So if the transformer steps up the voltage in the secondary, the maximum current in the secondary must decrease. Similarly if the voltage is stepped down the maximum current increases in the secondary. There are always losses in this process so the power in is always somewhat less than power out.
What is the load side of a transformer?
The load side of a transformer feeds the device, such as a light or motor. It is the output of the transformer. The input, or line side, provides the voltage that is to be transformed, either up or down, to supply the load side.AnswerA transformer's primary winding is connected to the supply voltage, and the secondary winding is connected to the load.
In D.C supply the transformer is not connected why?
In a DC power supply a transformer is connected. The only time there would be no transformer used would be if the DC voltage wanted was 120 VDC. The transformer in the power supply is connected to 120 VAC on the primary side and the secondary side of the transformer is connected to either a half wave or a full wave diode bridge. The voltage out of the diode bridge will be the same output voltage potential as the transformer's secondary voltage but it will be a DC (Direct Current) potential.Reading the question in another way, transformers are not connected in a DC circuit. The reason being is that the transformer operates on a collapsing magnetic field. This field induces a voltage into the secondary side of the transformer. Since the DC circuit does not operate on the principle of a collapsing field except when the circuit is opened, the transformer would not operate as a transformer should..
Does the transformer require exactly 230V as an input supply else can we use 50V as the input for it?
You can apply a lower-than-rated voltage to the primary winding of a transformer, and the secondary winding will then alter by the same proportion. So, for example, for a step-down transformer, if a 230-V primary voltage results in, say, a 115-V secondary voltage, then applying a 50-V primary voltage will result in a 25-V secondary voltage.
