The difference between the two Transformers is the coil ratios between the primary and secondary windings. A transformer that increases voltage from primary to secondary has more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns and is called a step-up transformer. Conversely, a transformer with fewer secondary windings does just the opposite and is called a step-down transformer.
the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer is that, in a tsep up transformer, the voltage secondary is greater than the primary side but in a step down transformer, the voltage secondary is lesser than the primary side
Yes, when using a step down transformer the amperage is affected.
the main function of transformer is to change the magnitude of Voltage. difference between step up and step down is step up will change the input voltage into a larger magnitude of output while step down is vice versa
Actually an isolation transformer may be physically the same as a Step up/Step Down transformer. The main difference is in the way they are used. Another difference is that in a normal transformer there will be capacitance between the 2 windings, between the windings and core, between the core and shell, etc. These capacitances bring in high frequency noise from outside, which will be transmitted in the secondary circuit. So [in an isolation transformer] wires are connected between each component, (not direct contact, but with insulation present). This permits a leakage current and eliminates unnecessary capacitance. I could make a start to answer this question. Isolation transformer: is a transformer with two separate windings, the primary and the secondary. There is an electrical isolation between the primary and the secondary. Nearly any type of transformer with two non-connected windings could be considered an "isolation" transformer, in that it electrically isolates the primary voltage from the secondary voltage. There are also transformers with one winding (called auto-transformers) and connections for input and output. If the input is low voltage and the output a higher, then you can say it is a STEP-UP transformer. If the input is high and the output is low, then you can say it is a STEP-DOWN. This type of transformer can not by used where safety is a large factor.
A major internal short circuit has been known to burst the tank of a transformer; but it can apply to any transformer -not just a 'step-down' type.

There is no essential difference in the shape of those transformers. Whether it is a step up or a step down transformer only depends on which side the supply is connected to. The high-voltage side of the transformer has more turns of wire in the coil. High-power transformers have oil cooling and sometimes cooling fins on them, and there is no difference between step-up and step-down transformers.
A transformer is used to step up or step down a Voltage supply.
A ct is a step up transformer where as a pt is a step down transformer because both are used for measurement and protection purpose . current is stepped down if the secondary windings are more so we can obviously say thar ct is step up transformer
Injecting power into the higher voltage winding of a transformer will make it act as a step down transformer; injecting power into the lower voltage winding will make it act as a step up transformer. A transformer can be used both ways.
Yes, when using a step down transformer the amperage is affected.
You can go to ebay.com. Then sign up for an account and search for "step down 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.
Transformer function is either to step-up or down the voltage. There is nothing like an ordinary transformer.
a step down transformer is used to lower the voltage from the powerlines into your home. a common slang term for this type of transformer is a pole pig.
