It depends on the ratio of turns from primary to secondary.

∙ 8y agoThe easiest way to explain it is the secondary winding has more turns than the primary winding. The output voltage of any transformer can be found by the equation:
Vout = Vin * Ts/Tp

What is a transformer called that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
Step up transformer is used to increase the?
A step up transformer is used to step up an AC voltage
Can one step up power from inverter with step-up transformer?
No. You can not step up power with a transformer. You can step up voltage, while stepping down current, or you can step up current, while stepping down voltage, but you cannot step up (or down) power.
What is used to increase or decrease voltage that enters a house?
A transformer can be used, either a step-up or step-down transformer, to deliver the power at a different voltage from the normal supply voltage.
When would you use a step-up transformer in the HVAC industry?
They are mostly used to step up the voltage of the power from a generator.
How can you see that the transformer is a step down or a step up?
If the primary voltage (input) is less than the secondary (output) then it is a step-up. If the input is greater than the output then it is a step-down transformer.
What is the differences between a step-down transformer and a step-up transformer?
the main function of transformer is to change the magnitude of Voltage. difference between step up and step down is step up will change the input voltage into a larger magnitude of output while step down is vice versa
What is the point of a step up transformer?
A 'step-up' transformer is a transformer with more turns on its secondary winding than on its primary winding. It's secondary (output) voltage is, therefore, higher than its primary (input) voltage.
What is a transformer called that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
What is a transformer that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
Does a basic transfomer in its normal operation use step up voltage step down voltage step up current or all?
A transformer has a primary and a secondary side. There is a ratio of windings from one side to the other that dictates whether it is a step up or step down transformer. The transformer is usually marked as to the input and output specifications. The current is directly proportional to voltage. If you had a transformer that was a step up from primary to secondary, it would be step down from secondary to primary.
When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?
If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.
What is meant by high and low voltage sides of transformers?
Transformers are use to step up and step down the voltage of electricity. In a step up transformer, the voltage coming out is higher than the voltage going in so the output is the high side and the input the low side. In a step down transformer, the output is the low side.
What is the purpose of transforms?
A transformer is used to step up or step down a Voltage supply.
What is the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer?
the main function of transformer is to change the magnitude of Voltage. difference between step up and step down is step up will change the input voltage into a larger magnitude of output while step down is vice versa
How do you measure the power input and power output for the step-up transformer?
Power input to a transformer = (voltage across the primary winding) x (current through the primary)Power output = (voltage across the secondary winding) x (current through the secondary)It doesn't matter whether the transformer is used in step-up, step-down or simple isolation.
Why transistor is not used as a transformer?
transistor is switching device - no converting that input vales transformer is converting like step up/down that in voltage values
