How to step down 15kiloV to 20V for practical purposes?

Stepping down AC voltage is accomplished using a transformer. In your case the primary (15kV) to secondary (20v) ratio is 750, which is very high for a typical transformer, so I suspect you would need to step down to some intermediate voltage, and then use a second transformer to step down to 20 volts.


What is the purpose of transforms?

A transformer is used to step up or step down a Voltage supply.


When using a step down transformer is amperage affected?

Yes, when using a step down transformer the amperage is affected.


Where can i buy a step down transformer online?

You can go to ebay.com. Then sign up for an account and search for "step down transformer."


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


How do you produce a step-up transformer in an ordinary transformer?

Transformer function is either to step-up or down the voltage. There is nothing like an ordinary transformer.


What is the name of the transformer that reduces the voltage?

a step down transformer is used to lower the voltage from the powerlines into your home. a common slang term for this type of transformer is a pole pig.


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 are the major faults of a step down transformer?

A step-down transformer does just what it's designed to do, so there are no 'major' faults associated with it.


How is 11kv convert to 230v?

The higher voltage it transformed to a lower voltage by the use of a step down transformer.


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 the output of the control transformer?

Depends on what the voltage is being stepped down in that particular control transformer. Control transformers usually step down a voltage of 480/208v to 120V. The 120Volts can now be used in safer manner to "control" start/stop buttons, and other components that are only built to run on 120V
