No. Available step current is inversely proportional to available step voltage.
For example, if you have a turns ratio of 10:1 for a typical step-down transformer running off of 120 VAC, producing 12 VAC; if the input current were 1 ampere, the output current would be 10 amperes. Similarly, for a step up transformer, available voltage goes up while available current goes down, all within the turns ratio.
Nope.
The current will be equal if the turns ratio is 1:1 in an ideal transformer. But, t/f s are not designed that way.
Further, Current ratio is equal to the inverse of turns ratio.

What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?
Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.
Is ct step up or step down?
'CT' is used to designate current transformers, and 'PT' is used to designate potential transformers. A current transformer provides a ratio of primary current to the secondary. A potential transformer provides a ratio of primary voltage to the secondary. A power transformer (step up or step down) resembles a PT more than a CT.
What winding of a step-down transformer will carry more current?
Secondary.
Why primary current is higher than secondary current in transformer with turns ratio 1?
In a transformer with a turns ratio equal to 1, the primary current comprises the reflected secondary current plus the magnetizing current necessary to sustain the "back EMF developed across the mutual inductance coupling the primary winding to the secondary. Therefore the primary current is always greater than the secondary current in a transformer with a turns ratio equal to 1. This should be evident by applying Kirchhoff's Current Law to the central node of the "T-equivalent" model of a transformer.
Can you step up or step down the DC voltage by a transformer?
You need alternating current for a transformer, for DC you would have to interrupt the power supply to make it effectively DC pulses.
How do you step down current?
by using current transformer
A transformer can only the voltage of an alternating current?
A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?
Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.
Is ct step up or step down?
'CT' is used to designate current transformers, and 'PT' is used to designate potential transformers. A current transformer provides a ratio of primary current to the secondary. A potential transformer provides a ratio of primary voltage to the secondary. A power transformer (step up or step down) resembles a PT more than a CT.
What does a step-down transformer do to the electrical current?
A step-down transformer lowers the voltage of an AC current. The higher AC current is put through one side and the other side the lower AC current is delivered.
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 winding of a step-down transformer will carry more current?
Secondary.
Is current transformer is a distribution transformer?
In transmission lines there is a massive current, we use CT to make this current measurable i.e. it steps down the current but DT is used to step down the voltage
Does a step-down transformer increase its voltage and and decrease it's current?
No. A step-down transformer's secondary voltage is lower than its primary voltage. The secondary current is determined by the load, and this causes a higher current in the primary winding.
How current transfomer is step up voltage transformer n step down current transformer?
Current transformers are not voltage transformers. Current transformer are used for metering or protection purposes, with single turn primary. Generally the secondary current is either 1Amps or 5Amps.
What is the difference between a current transformer and a voltage transformer?
A current transformer step downs the current in a power circuit to a lower amperage. A voltage transformer steps down the voltage in a power circuit, typically to 110 volts AC for residential and business use.
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.
