A step up transformer converts low voltage,high amperage current to a high voltage,low amperage current. It requires large diameter wire to carry the high amperage in the primary coil.
Yes a Tesla coil or ignition coil is an example.
In a transformer, the primary coil is the coil that has voltage applied to it. The secondary coil is the coil that we take voltage from. Transformers are used to step up voltage, step down voltage, or simply to isolate circuits.
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 transformer you describe is being used as a step-down transformer, and is classified as an electrical machine. The transformer could either be a mutual transformer, consisting of two, electrically-isolated coils, or an auto-transformer which uses a common coil between its primary and secondary circuits.
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

The number of turns or windings of a transformer can vary. There can be more in the primary, or more in the secondary, or there can be an equal number in a transformer that is simply used for isolation (an isoformer). More turns in the primary than secondary will create a step down transformer. More turns in the secondary are found in a step up transformer. The transformers on power poles have more turns in the primary to step the line voltage down for delivery to residential customers.
If a step-up transformer has 200 turns on the primary coil and 3000 turns on the secondary coil, with a primary coil voltage of 90 volts and current of 30 amps, then the turns ratio is 200:3000, so the secondary voltage is 1350 voltage and the available current is 2 amps. (This ignores losses through the transformer.)
There is no selective device to determine the amount of voltage. A transformer is selected by the voltage available at the site for the primary and the load on the secondary side of the transformer.
The primary coil is the one with voltage applied, or the 'input'. The secondary coil is the one in which a voltage is induced by electromagnetism, or the 'output'. In a step up transformer, the secondary coil voltage is higher than the primary. In a step down transformer, the secondary coil voltage is lower than the primary. In an isolation transformer, the secondary coil voltage is the same as the primary. Here, the point of the transformer isn't to raise or lower voltage, but to keep a particular circuit electrically disconnected from another circuit, while still allowing the circuits to function together (through electromagnetism).
A transformer is a device that changes (transforms) and alternating potential difference (voltage) from one value to another value be it smaller or greater using the principle of electromagnetic induction. <a class="h2heading h2" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" name="Step-up Transformer:">Step-up Transformer:</a> On a step-up transformer there are more turns on the secondary coil than the primary coil. The induced voltage across the secondary coil is greater than the applied voltage across the primary coil or in other words the voltage has been "stepped-up."
150 amperesAnswerYour transformer's primary current will be:Is = Ip (Ns/Np) = 5 (90 000/300) = 5 x 300 = 1500 A
i have no idea but maybe this is a possibility voltage is inversely proportional to current the voltage in the primary coil is lower than in the secondary therefore the current in the primary coil is higher than in the secondary coil in order to reduce energy lost in the primary coil, the resistance is lowered by increasing the cross-section area of the coil as R is inversely proportion to area So maybe it is thicker to reduce energy lost in the form of heat, thus making the transformer more efficient
