Why stepup transformer uses ac?

Confusing question! If it is, why Transformers use ac? Then it is, for induction there must be change in flux linkage which is possible with ac which frequently changes polarity. In dc there wont be any change. If que is, why step up is used? There will be considerable voltage drop with distant transmission. For this reason step up voltage is required with step up transformer. Since, in high voltages this drop is negligible or efficient transmission

What is stepup transformer?

A step-up transformer produces a voltage across its secondary winding which is higher than its primary winding. The secondary winding is connected to the load, while the primary winding is connected to the supply.

What are the types of and uses for a transformer?

There are two types of transformers:- 1. Step-up transformer & 2. Step-down transformer. A transformer used to increase the voltage is called Step-up transformer. A transformer used to decrease the voltage is called Step-down transformer. Uses of step-up transformer:- in power supply stations, in picture tubes of TV, computer monitors, halogen lights, etc. Uses of step-down transformer:- in supply of electricity to homes, in the power supply to the low voltage devices like radio, music systems which are run by AC mains.


What is the Name of the transformer in which the output AC voltage is less than the input AC voltage?

It is a step-down transformer.


How do you make ac into DC in a ac transformer?

You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater
