A device that decreases voltage?
Step down transformer, potentiometer or rheostats can all be used to reduce voltage.
Why transformar primary refers to secondary?
All transformers contain both primary and secondary coils. The primary will refer to the secondary when the voltage is to high. As voltage increases, it passes down the power to the secondary for efficient distribution of power.
What happen to the output voltage of the DC power supply if turn ratio in the secondary winding are reduce?
For linear supplies, the straightforward answer is: THE VOLTAGE GOES DOWN. For regulated unipolar switching supplies (all bets are off), it is likely that your pulse width will increase until you are at the regulated voltage set at the chip. Not all DC supplies behave the same way.
What are step-up and step-down transformers?
A Step Up Transformer is one whose secondary voltage is greater than its primary voltage. This kind of transformer "steps up" the voltage applied to it.The Step Up transformer is designed to increase the voltage from the primary winding to the secondary winding.A Step-Down transformer is one whose secondary voltage is less than its primary voltage. The step down transformer is designed to reduce the voltage from the primary winding to the secondary winding. This kind of transformer "steps down" the voltage applied to it.The basic equation for stepping up or stepping down the voltageNp/Ns is known as the turns ratio.The induced voltage in the secondary winding (Vs) is in proportion to the primary voltage (Vp) and is given by the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary (Ns) to the number of turns in the primary (Np).I to answer basic transformer questions.
How do transformers reduce electrical voltage?
This type of transformer is called a Step-Down transformer. All transformers have an input to output ratio. The transformers that increase voltage are called Step-up, and the transformers that protect against surges are called unity gain. The Unity gain transformer has a 1:1 ratio and provide a mechanical way to isolate a source of voltage from a load.
When slowing to a stop what would cause the voltage gauge to drop the dash lights dim the heater fan slow down and the eng rpm slow down for only 1 second then all functions return to normal?
bad voltage krunkbobulator
What would cause voltage gauge to drop to 0 while driving dodge ram 1500 5.7?
Well, kinda need to know if it did anything else. If the vehicle continued operating at normal, probably a fault voltage gauge or regulator. If you actually lost all power, the whole thing would shut down. If it was a temporary loss of power, then it kicked back to normal, you're probably looking at a loose or faulty ground wire.
Why would the oil pressure gauge fuel gauge and the engine temperature gauge quit working on a 1987 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 with a VG30 3.0L 6-cylinder?
It is possible a fuse blew. Check all fuses. If none blown take it to a garage. Check the instrument cluster voltage regulator.
What would cause the temp gauge on a 1998 Chevy Venture to fluctuate from midrange to hot and back down to mid range again car is not overheating gauge just moves up and down and the fan comes on?
is the coolant disapeering at all ?

Why would the temp gauge drop all the way down when the car is in motion and then raises back up when stopped?

What would cause the temp gauge to go all the way up then back down and then bounce up and down then over heat and then not wanting to start?
Check your coolant level, and replace your thermostat
What size electrical wire is required for 20 amp breaker 275 feet away?
Would probably go with 10 gauge since 12 would do normally, a 275' length is a long run. Voltage drop would be a concern, especially if the load of the device had a high start up demand. Air conditioner, refrigeration unit, air compressor, etc. <<>> To answer this question correctly a voltage must be given, since sizing the wire is all about voltage drop over a distance.
What would cause the fuel gauge on a 1993 Ford Thunderbird to stay on full all the time?
A potential bad gauge or sender unit in the tank would cause it to read full all the time.
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 many voltage is produced by a generator in all power stations?
it really depends on the station and it is referred to as distributed voltage, Our utility is 69 kv or 69,000 volts. it is stepped down to a usable voltage by transformers for distribution.
Why would temp gauge in car run cool?
Thermostat stuck open or no stat at all. Faulty temp sensor or Gauge.
