How you understand which side of a transformer is high voltage side and low voltage side?

at high voltage side, current is low. hence the size of conductors is reduced or small. At low voltage side, current is high. Hence the size of conductors is large.


Is it possible to have high voltage with low current?

yes


You want get high current from low current with same AC voltage?

You can't.


What are grid station?

Grid stations are the station which reduce the High Voltage to Low Voltage and increase the Current, the Current is Low and Voltage is High at the Generation Plant to reduce the energy losses during transmission of Electricity.


Why consumer wants connect to high voltage?

that main resign is high voltage is voltage value is high that same time current value is very low. easy to transmission to long distance consumer(HT required consumer) end we have not voltage loss and current also and conductor cost is reduced that is conductor thickness low ,so current level is low


What is a definition of grid station?

it is a station which reduces high voltage to low voltage and increases current.


What type of current only consists of direct current at a low voltage and high amperage?

battery


Do relays use high voltage to control low currant circuits?

Low voltage to operate relay controlling high CURRENT circuits (currant is a dried fruit).


What are the difference between high voltage and low voltage?

Hi, The main difference is Fuel consumption. High current genertors always consumes much fuel because the load on the engine will be high. The high voltage low current generators doesn't need much fuel to run. You can understand this by comparing 1 kva and 5 kva single phase generators. For both generators voltage will be same (230v) But output current differs. So the fuel consumption also differs. But you get a high current source. Low voltage high current generators can be used for welding kind of stuffs which needs high current to do the job. If you have step down transformer then you can save the fuel.


Why doesnt electric fences kill?

The pulses are high voltage low current.


Why is primary coil in step up transformer thick?

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.


Which mode of transmission would result in less energy loss high current and low voltage or low current and high voltage Explain your reason?

low current high voltage power dissipation in power line = I2R the resistance of the power line is hard to reduce, especially when it is a long transmission line. but reducing the current through the line reduces losses as the square, a dramatic savings. reducing voltage would have no effect and would dramatically increase losses due to increase in current to try to deliver same power.
