The function of any transformer is to change one AC voltage value to another AC voltage value. A step down transformer will transform a higher AC voltage to a lower AC voltage. A step up transformer will transform a lower AC voltage to a higher AC voltage. The transmission of electrical power uses both of these types of Transformers. From the generation station the voltage is stepped up to a very high transmission voltage and at the end of the transmission line it is stepped down to a voltage that consumers can utilize.
What else can I help you with?
What are the types of transformers according to construction?
step up and stepdown
Why are transformers necessary?
Transformers are necessary to stepup or stepdown voltage levels so that transmission of power is convenient. without stepup/stepdown voltage level according to our requirement losses will be very high and transmission and usage of power is not feasible.
WHAT IS THE function of transformers?
Mainly to increase or to decrease the incoming voltage
What is 660VA for stepdown transformer capacity?
the maximum power it will supply
What type of transformer is found outside a residential house?
Stepdown Transformer.
How do you step down voltage in transformers?
step up or stepdown is done by the ratio of the number of turns in the primary / secondary coil, large number on high voltage side small number on low voltage side. the wire used on the low voltage side would be thicker than the high.
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.
Direct electric current cannot be used to operate A. Electric motors B. Electric heaters C. Electromagnets D. Transformers?
Direct electric current cannot be used to operate D. Transformers.
Can a 240V - 110V stepdown transformer be reversed to take a primary load of 180V to secondary 240Volts?
No
What are the two types of transformers?
The two general categories of transformer, based on their construction, are (a) mutual transformers and (b) autotransformers.Mutual transformers have two coils, or 'windings', termed the primary (input side) and the secondary (output side), which are electrically isolated from each other, being linked with a magnetic field.Autotransformers have a single, shared, winding and so, do not provide isolation between the primary and secondary sides.Mutual transformers can be further classified, according to their function: e.g. power transformers, distribution transformers, isolation transformers, instrument transformers, matching transformers, etc.
What is the function of arching horns in the insulators?
These horns are used to protect the bushing on transformers. The horns also form a sparking gap for the insulators.
What are some important types of transformers?
There are Several types of transformers are there in that some are listed below. Instrument Transformers Step Up and Step Down Transformers Single Phase Transformers Power Transformers Distribution Transformers etc. For more visit transcon industries.
