Injecting power into the higher voltage winding of a transformer will make it act as a step down transformer; injecting power into the lower voltage winding will make it act as a step up transformer. A transformer can be used both ways.

A transformer consists of a 'core' (called a 'magnetic circuit'), around which are placed two coils, called 'windings'. The winding connected to the supply voltage is called the 'primary winding' and the winding connected to the load is called the 'secondary winding'. If the secondary winding has more turns (loops) than the primary winding, then the transformer is a 'step up' transformer; if it has less turns than the primary winding, then it is a 'step down' transformer. So, theoretically, and certainly in the case of a basic transformer, there is no difference between step-up and step-down Transformers -it depends which winding you use as the primary.

How transformer converts mva to kv?

Transformer does not convert MVA to KV. MVA is unit of power, where as KV is unit of Voltage. Transformer converts voltgae. Step up or Step down.


Can an isolating transformer have a center earth tap?

I suppose it could, but then it wouldn't be purely an isolation transformer. It would then be a isolation and either step up or step down transformer.

Is a step up transformer a Ynd or a Dyn?

Whether a transformer is 'step up' or 'step down' has nothing to do with the way its windings are connected, so it could be wye-delta or delta-wye.


How do you convert 115 volt into 230 volt?

The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.

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
