Why do you use Two Winding run and start winding in the single phase motor?
Any transformer uses a minimum of two windings to change the voltage value. The primary side of the transformer is usually connected to the existing voltage. The secondary side of the transformer is usually connected to the load, who's voltage could be higher or lower voltage than the primary voltage.If the secondary voltage is increased the transformer is known as a step up transformer and if the secondary voltage is decreased the transformer is known as a step down transformer.The transformer terminal markings for the primary are H1 and H2 on a single coil primary and H1 to H4 on a dual voltage primary winding. Like wise the secondary terminal markings are X1 and X2 on a single coil secondary and X1 to X4 on a dual voltage secondary winding.
What is transformer ducts?
The transformer ducts are usually made up of strips of transformer board that is glued to the Diamond patter resin coated paper. It is widely used by transformers for manufacturing oil immersed distribution transformer windings.
Does a 3 phase motor starter with a 120 volt coil need a neutral to the coil?
Usually for this type of installation there is a control transformer installed in the starter enclosure. The primary of the transformer is the motors line voltage and the secondary is the control voltage which is usually 120 volts. In Canada the control transformer needs fusing on the secondary side of the transformer. In the US the transformer needs fusing on the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. The secondary side of the transformer's terminals are labeled X1 and X2. The X2 lead is grounded to the starter's enclosure. From this point out the wire is then termed the circuit's neutral wire. This wire then connects to one side of the magnetic starters draw in coil. Yes, 120 volt coil would require a neutral, this could be derived from the control transformer if it has one or from an external source.
What are the connections on a transformer?
The connections on a transformer are circuit ties for the primary and secondary windings, and any taps. This is a very general question, and only a very general answer can be given. The basic transformer (outside the autoformer) has four connections, and two of them are for the ends of the primary windings, and two of them are for the ends of the scondary windings. Certainly there are many variations on the theme for taps in the primary and/or secondary, additional primary or secondary windings, different windings for different phases (as in power distribution applications), etc. More information on transformers can be had by using the link to the Wikipedia article on these electrical and electronic devices that are used to step up voltages, step down voltages, or isolate electrical circuits (as well as a number of other things).
Can you back feed a three phase 480v transformer on the secondary side and get 480?
These transformers are usually reciprocal, and don't care which side you feed. Some caveats may apply if there are cooling fans, the other voltage is 100KV, this is connected as a wye to high-delta converter and so on.
Is it possible put a 33 kv to 400 v electric transformer inside an apartment building?
Yes, many large buildings are built with electrical vaults to house the electrical distribution system. The high voltage enters the building usually underground, where it connects to a transformer. The secondary side of the transformer is connected to a distribution system where the supply voltage is then sent to the individual apartment sub panels.
How potentiotial transformer measure voltage?
A potential transformer (US terminology) or voltage transformer (UK terminology) operates on the same principle as any mutual transformer, but with the secondary windings connected across the terminals of a voltmeter. The secondary voltage, which is determined by the turns-ratio of the transformer, is usually standardised to match the full-scale deflection of the voltmeter.
What type of system usually consists of primary distribution lines or networks service transformer banks and secondary lines or networks?
Electric power systems
What is the Use of distribution transformer?
A transmission transformer steps the voltage up to a very high value so electricity can travel long distances on transmission lines from the power plant to a city or area with low loss. A distribution transformer steps the high voltage back down to a level that can be used for local distribution and use by businesses and homes.

What the purpose of the H1 terminal on a transformer?
The terminals H1 and H2 an a transformer indicate the primary side of the transformer. The secondary side is usually identified as X1 and X2.

How does a transformer change voltage and current?
A welding transformer uses the alternating current supplied to the welding shop at a high voltage to produce the low voltage welding power

Does a basic transfomer in its normal operation use step up voltage step down voltage step up current or all?
A transformer has a primary and a secondary side. There is a ratio of windings from one side to the other that dictates whether it is a step up or step down transformer. The transformer is usually marked as to the input and output specifications. The current is directly proportional to voltage. If you had a transformer that was a step up from primary to secondary, it would be step down from secondary to primary.
How voltage is measured in potential transformer?
By connecting a voltmeter across the secondary terminals of the voltage/potential transformer. The transformer acts to reduce the voltage applied to its primary winding, while electrically-isolating the primary (usually high-voltage) circuit from the voltmeter.
