You size it by the current required by the secondary, and the primary will be smaller wire.

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
On a stup down transformer what does the xo symbol mean?
On a step down transformer XO symbol denotes the secondary split phase grounding point. This is also where the neutral of the three wire secondary is connected. The transformer connection is known as a single phase - three wire - with one secondary winding.
How do i convert from 380 volts to 220 volts?
If these are the exact voltages that you need you will need an auto transformer to obtain these voltages. If these voltages are nominal voltages and are of a three phase four wire configuration, the 220 voltage can be obtained from the three phase legs to the neutral (ground) connection. The equation to use is 400/1.73 = 231 volts.
What causes a low voltage in the transformer?
If this refers to a wire wound transformer, as it sounds then there is likely only two possibilities : the input voltage has dropped prier to entering the primary windings or there is a short in the windings some where within.The only other possibility I can think of is : This is a trick question and the transformer is a step down transformer.
What materials are needed to construct a step up transformer?
Basic materials to build a transformer are magnet wire, iron core and insulation material to separate the two windings.
How can you use 1 transformer in Inverter and Battery charger?
Those are special type transformer used for both step down and step up in a single transformer ,they are specially designed . their wire thickness in both winding is thicker than ordinary step up or down transformer.and they are costly too.
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
Is there a physically different shape between a step up transformer and a step down transformer?
There is no essential difference in the shape of those transformers. Whether it is a step up or a step down transformer only depends on which side the supply is connected to. The high-voltage side of the transformer has more turns of wire in the coil. High-power transformers have oil cooling and sometimes cooling fins on them, and there is no difference between step-up and step-down transformers.
Does a step-up transformer have fewer turns of wire in the primary than in the secondary?
Yes, a step-up transformer has fewer turns of wire in the primary than in the secondary.
What is Dy transformer step up or step down?
Theoretically, a delta-wye transformer can step up or step down. In Europe, tertiary distribution transformers are step-down delta-wye transformers, so that the secondary side offers a three-phase, four-wire, system offering 400 V line-to-line and 230 V line-to-neutral.
How are the amperes for transformer calculated?
Find the wire from the secondary of the transformer. If it's a step-down transformer the thicker wire is the secondary. Measure its diameter in inches and calculate its cross-section area in square inches. The current rating for transformer wire is 1000 amps per square inch, or 1.55 amps per square mm.
On a stup down transformer what does the xo symbol mean?
On a step down transformer XO symbol denotes the secondary split phase grounding point. This is also where the neutral of the three wire secondary is connected. The transformer connection is known as a single phase - three wire - with one secondary winding.

What size ground wire for a 30 kva transformer?
The size of grounding wire is based on the amperage output of the transformer. The voltage of the transformer needs to be stated. Without this voltage a calculation can not be made. Amps = Watts/Volts = 30000/?.
What are the materials used in constructing a step down transformer?
There is a laminated iron core for the magnetic field and then a lot of enamelled copper wire. Step-up transformers use the same materials.

How does step down transfomers work?
A transformer has two coils of wire wound round an iron core. An ac voltage on one coil produces a magnetic field in the core. The magnetic field causes a voltage to be induced in the second coil. A step-down transformer has fewer wire turns in the second coil, therefore the output voltage is less than the input voltage.
