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.

The primary winding in a transformer is connected to the what?
The primary winding of a transformer is connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load.
What is the term for the transformer winding to which the load is connected?
The load is connected to the transformer's secondarywinding, while the primary winding is connected to the supply. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', do NOT relate to voltage levels.
What are the primary winding and secondary winding of a transformer?
The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary' are unrelated to voltage levels.
What is stepup transformer?
A step-up transformer produces a voltage across its secondary winding which is higher than its primary winding. The secondary winding is connected to the load, while the primary winding is connected to the supply.
What is winding transformer?
A winding is the name given each of the coils wound around the transformer's core. A basic transformer has two windings, termed the primary winding (connected to the supply) and the secondary winding (connected to the load).
Can a 240V - 110V stepdown transformer be reversed to take a primary load of 180V to secondary 240Volts?
No
The primary winding in a transformer is connected to the what?

What is the term for the transformer winding to which the load is connected?
The load is connected to the transformer's secondarywinding, while the primary winding is connected to the supply. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', do NOT relate to voltage levels.

The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary' are unrelated to voltage levels.
Why is the wattmeter connected at the primary side of the transformer?
In general, you can install a wattmeter on the primary or the secondary side of a transformer (it depends what you are trying to measure). But if you are conducting an open- and short-circuit test (to find the transformer's losses), then the wattmeter is connected to the primary side because you want to measure the total (primary + secondary) losses and that is only achievable from the primary side.
What is stepup transformer?
A step-up transformer produces a voltage across its secondary winding which is higher than its primary winding. The secondary winding is connected to the load, while the primary winding is connected to the supply.
What is winding transformer?
A winding is the name given each of the coils wound around the transformer's core. A basic transformer has two windings, termed the primary winding (connected to the supply) and the secondary winding (connected to the load).
How can you distinguish the primary from secondaty side on a transformer?
Whichever winding is connected to the supply is the primary winding; whichever winding is connected to the load is the secondary winding.
What happens when load is given to primary side of a transformer?
The Load will consume part of the power and therefore reduce the current (voltage ) available for the secondary part of the transformerAnswerYou cannot apply a load to the primary of a transformer which, by definition, is the winding connected to the supply voltage. Your question makes no sense.
Is 3 phase star transformer has more winding than delta?
The # of windings in a transformer are based on the primary and secondary voltages the transformer is rated for not the way the windings are connected.
Can infinite voltage be given at transformer primary?
no, infinite voltage can't be given to the primary of the transformer....if the secondary is connected to the load, then over voltage will damage the load, if secondary is open circuited, then the infinite voltage can breakdown the transformer internal insulation,
Is there more current in the primary or secondary winding of a transformer?
The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', describe how a transformer is connected and his nothing to do with which is the lower- and higher-voltage winding.The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. So, for astep-up transformer, the secondary winding is the higher voltage winding, whereas for a step-down transformer, the secondary winding is the lower voltage winding.For a loaded transformer, i.e. a transformer whose secondary is supplying a load, the higher-voltage winding carries the smaller current, while the lower-voltage winding carries the higher current.
