Best Answer

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.
