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 is phase shift in three phase transformer?

The phase shift in three-phase transformer from winding of Transformer and determine by vectorgroup of transformer such as YNd1 High voltage connect to wye Low Voltage connect to delta so L.V. lag H.V 30 degree.Answer'Phase shift' or, more accurately, 'angular displacement', is the angle between the secondary line voltages and primary line voltages of a three-phase transformer.


What is meaning of 9v-0-9v transformer?

It is kind of transformers called center-tap transformer its main function is to transform primary voltage to 2 secondary voltages or vice versa. In your statement the transformer will convert the input voltage to 2 voltage each is 9v or the opposite it will convert the 2 input voltages with each 9v to a certain value depending on the turns ratio of the transformer.


Why transformer coupled amplifier is more efficient than RC coupled amplifier?

an RC coupled amplifier is basically used for voltage amplification , where the circuit currents are quite low. higher currents & voltages would mean more dissipation in the load resistors , which is essentially very lossy . The coupling amplitude to the next stage is ideally the same as the previous stage signal excursion. However if a transformer is used for coupling , both large voltages & current can be handled without incurring the dissipation of a resistive load. Moreover a coupling gain of the transformer primary to secondary ratio is also a bonus. also because of the possiblity of correct impedance matching on the primary & secondary side maximum power coupling is obtained. hence transformer coupling is more efficient in such applications. in high frequency applications transformer coupling , along with tuned circuits as applicable is the choice circuit.


How do you determine transformer turns ratio if the supply source and load is given?

Transformer turns ratio is the ratio of voltages between two windings. For instance, a 24VAC control transformer that runs on 120VAC will have a turns ratio about 5 to 1.

What are taps for in a transformer?

The ratio of windings between a primary and secondary in a transformer govern the output voltage. Multiple taps are connections to various points in the coil effectively changing the winding ratios to get multiple voltages from the same transformer. Taps can be on the primary, secondary or both to provide a more versatile transformer.


How are lower voltages combined into higher voltages for transmission?

Low voltages are not 'combined into higher voltages' for transmission! The lower voltage (e.g. the voltage generated at a power station) is applied to the primary winding of a large power transformer, and the required higher transmission voltage then appears across the transformer's secondary winding. The magnitude of the secondary voltage is determined by the turns ratio of the transformer's windings.

What is uses of tapped coil?

If question is about a transformer's tapped coil then the taps are a way of getting different voltages from one transformer. The end of the transformer's coil is the common point and the taps to this common point will give different voltages depending on where in the coil the taps are taken from.


How do you convert 3 phase 415 volts to 208 volts and Is there any electrical diagram or photo if using auto transformer?

Changing the voltage is done by using a transformer. These voltages are dangerous and the job should be done by an electrician who knows the safety regulations that must be followed in your country.


Is 3 phase star transformer has more winding than delta?

The # of windings in a transformer are based on the primary and secondary voltages the transformer is rated for not the way the windings are connected.

Is a device that changes the voltage of an alternating current with little loss of energy?

The device you are referring to is called a transformer. Not only can a transformer increase voltage, it can decrease voltage as well. These are known as a step up transformer for increasing voltages and step down for decreasing voltages.


Does the formula used to calculate the turns ratio uses the phase voltages and phase current?

For a transformer, the turns ratio always applies between its primary and secondary windings. So the turns ratio for a three-phase transformer is the ratio of primary to secondary phase voltages, not between line voltages.


Why are using transformer in circuits?

Transformers are use in circuits to step up and down voltages.
