How do you produce 120V lines from 240V lines without using a transformer?

220 volt AC current is achieved by having two 110 volt lines with opposite waves or phases. One line will be positive while the other is negative then they flip or alternate 60 times a second (60 hertz). When connecting a volt meter to each of these lines it will read 220volts. Connecting a volt meter from either line to ground will read 110.
I don't know if your question is backwards, but in a home you shouldn't have any lines that read 220 volts to ground. In a business or shop there can be 240 volt lines which combined can make 480 for industrial equipment.
If your 220 is an older style and only has two hots and a ground (red,black,bare/green) you can't make a 110. If your 220 has 2 hots (red,black), a neutral (white), and a ground (bare/green), you can get 110 from either of the hots (black,red) to neutral (white).

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.
What is electric flux how it moves from one side of transformer to the other side of transformer without physical connection?
As current flow trough a wire by using the right hand rule of thumb a magnetic flux encircles the wire. if an adjacent wire are passive these lines of flux will generate an electron flow on that wire therefore the transfer is complete minus the efficiency of the transfer . Magnetics LINES varies as the square of the distance.
Is transformer is essential for rectifier?
no transformer is not necessary for rectification today most of power supplies have been made without using transformer in order to reduce weight and size of power supply.for example SMPS(switch mode poqwer supply)
When using a step down transformer is amperage affected?
Yes, when using a step down transformer the amperage is affected.
What is advantages-of-parallel operation of transformer?
It enables an existing transformer to be upgraded to meet an increase in load, without having to remove that transformer and replace it with a 'larger' (expressed in volt amperes) one. It provides an useful way of using up a stock of smaller transformers.
Will using a transformer to convert 230V to 12V DC consume more energy than using a few capacitors and resistors without a transformer?
no, the transformer is much more efficient <><><> HOWEVER- a transformer only changes the voltage of AC current- it does not change it to DC. You will still need diodes or rectifiers. You can also use a motor/generator- a 230v AC motor turns a 12 v DC generator.
How do you draw a hexagon shape without using a compass?
you just draw lines
Can you produce electricity even without magnetism?
yes we can produce electricity without magnetism by using semiconductor for example photo diode is used in solar cells.
How do you transform power supply without using a step-up or step-down transformer?
The requirement of transformers are crucial for long distance transmission lines because of I*I*R losses. I-Current R-Resistance V-Voltage If your question is,a device that can do the job of a transformer,you may apply energy conversion and use your domain specific devices to increase the amplitude.It could be an optical device.
