What are the types of and uses for a transformer?

There are two types of transformers:- 1. Step-up transformer & 2. Step-down transformer. A transformer used to increase the voltage is called Step-up transformer. A transformer used to decrease the voltage is called Step-down transformer. Uses of step-up transformer:- in power supply stations, in picture tubes of TV, computer monitors, halogen lights, etc. Uses of step-down transformer:- in supply of electricity to homes, in the power supply to the low voltage devices like radio, music systems which are run by AC mains.


How and why is electricity transformed for different uses?

Using a transformer.


Can you sub a 240 volt 1.5 amp transformer in place of a 240 volt 3 amp transformer?

If the load you are connecting to the transformer uses 1.5 amps or less, yes.


How do you test chopper transformer?

A chopper transformer is a kind of transformer used in an switching power supply.The primary input voltage of it is a Direct current (D.C) unlike any other ordinary step down transformer which uses an Alternating Current (A.C).Chopper transformer uses a switching transistor to produce a secondary voltage..

What are possible uses of a single phase 30VA transformer?

To continuously supply a load of up to 30-V.A at the rated secondary voltage of the transformer.


How does a welding transformer work?

A welding transformer uses the alternating current supplied to the welding shop at a high voltage to produce the low voltage welding power


How many gallons of oil in a 2500 kva 12470 480 volt transformer?

Oil is used to cool the transformer. There is no telling what the transformer in question uses without knowing the specific part number and looking up the specification.


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 a electrical device that uses electromagnetism to change voltage from one level to another?

transformer.


What is the difference between capactive voltage transformer and potential transformer?

A capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) uses a (usually two) stacks of capacitors to reduce the votlage to a smaller internal potential transformer (PT). This makes them less expensive than an equivalent PT, but there can be a loss of accuracy.


Which is basic function of transformer?

It uses electromagnetic induction to transfer energy between separate circuits.
