Sounds like a short circuit.
the formula is (no. of turns at main)/(no. of turns at out)=(In volts)/(out volts)
A transformer can change any AC voltage to any other AC voltage. But if you put DC into a transformer, the main component at the output is smoke. Furthermore, sir, you have insulted 12 volts by implying that it is undesirable.
The transformer operates in reverse. In other words, a step-down transformer becomes step-up, and vice-versa. Example: a transformer with a 480 volt primary and 120 volt secondary: Ratio = 4:1 (480/120=4) Fed in reverse - Ratio = 1:4 Apply 120 volts, output is 480. Note that if you accidentally reverse the transformer, still feeding it with 480 volts, the output would be 1920 volts (480 X 4 = 1920) - probably not a good thing!
If these are the exact voltages that you need you will need an auto transformer to obtain these voltages. If these voltages are nominal voltages and are of a three phase four wire configuration, the 220 voltage can be obtained from the three phase legs to the neutral (ground) connection. The equation to use is 400/1.73 = 231 volts.
A control transformer marked 240V - 24Vac would have a control voltage of 24 volts.
one phase is a wild leg off the power transformer
A transformer that reduces voltage is classed as a step down transformer.
In a standard transformer, the ratio of input volts to output volts remains constant.
You need a step-up transformer.
If the voltage is AC a transformer can be used.
By using a step down transformer.
to derive 120 volts from 480 volts you have to use a transformer, based on your needs. If you needed 100 amps at 120 volt single phase you would need a 12kva transformer. This is just an example.
optimus or bumblebee?
Step up transformer.
Use a step up 240 to 600 volt transformer.
That the appliance does not need a electrical transformer and uses the US standards for electricity off the grid.
Be it AC or DC any device who's nameplate reads 10 volts.
