A step- down transformer is one whose secondary voltage is less than its primary voltage, it is used to reduce 'step down' the voltage applied to it. The number of coils in the primary circuit is greater that the secondary circuit. For instance, to step down 480 Voltage to 240 voltage, you need a step down transformer whose ratio of primary coils to secondary coils is 2:1.

What happens if a 208VAC primary voltage is connected to a 240VAC stepdown transformer to 208VAC?
The transformer will act as a step down transformer in the ratio of 240 to 208. This will reduce the 208 input to 180.
Is there a way to install a 277V light on a 120V circuit?
no ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stepdown transformer. More expensive than buying the correct light fixture. Y-THINK-Y
You have 480 volts coming into a stepdown transformer that is set for 440 volts incoming power would this cause your output voltage to be higher than 120 volts?
In short, probably. Transformers step power up or down by a multiplicative factor based on the number of turns in the two transformer coils. Therefore, if you put more voltage in you're going to get a proportional increase in the voltage out.
What is center tap transformer?
Center tap transformer is the such kind of transformer that is made to a point half way along a winding of a transformer.
What is the application of pluse transformer?
why should we use pulse transformer rather than ordinary transformer
What type of transformer is found outside a residential house?
Stepdown Transformer.
Does 110 volts cost more if uses stepdown trasformer?
If you have to pay for the stepdown transformer, yes. If that is provided free, there is a small loss of energy in the transformer, maybe about 5%, and it depends on whether the meter is installed before or after the transformer.
What is 660VA for stepdown transformer capacity?
the maximum power it will supply
What does a step up transformer do at a powerplant?
It is used to step up the voltage in order to transmit it a long distance where it goes into a stepdown transformer and then into your home .
Can a 240V - 110V stepdown transformer be reversed to take a primary load of 180V to secondary 240Volts?
No
What happens if a 208VAC primary voltage is connected to a 240VAC stepdown transformer to 208VAC?
The transformer will act as a step down transformer in the ratio of 240 to 208. This will reduce the 208 input to 180.
How a transformer is very useful in ac supply?
Transformer is the only device which is capable to stepup or stepdown an ac signal. That's why its used widely in ac supply.

What kind of transformer do i use to run LED?
A step-down transformer U really don't need a step up or stepdown transformer You need a source capable to run your LED it can be a swithcing power supply for istance a battery
How do you convert 24volts to 12 volts?
If you want to convert 24v AC into 12v Ac, it's simple. Just get a transformer to convert 24 volts into 12 volts. This is called a stepdown transformer. If you want to convert 24v DC into 12v DC, it's more complicated. First you have to change the 24v DC into 24v AC by a switching converter that changes DC into AC. Then you would use a stepdown transformer as in the former example. Once the 24v AC is converted to 12v AC, then you use a rectifier bridge to change the 12v AC into 12v DC.
What happens to voltage when current is increased?
current is decreased Depends of the circuit or device: in a stepdown transformer: power in= power out, V x I = V x I , Increase voltage in (power remaining constant) you current output will increase.
Will a stepdown transformer which converts 240V AC to 120V AC concurrently convert 50Hz to 60Hz?
