A: Using a diode and a capacitor and replicating for the voltage that is desired. Be aware that the final voltage can be very hi for 120 v AC and be aware that the voltage is there but the power is limited due to repeating losses along the way.

How is 11kv convert to 230v?

The higher voltage it transformed to a lower voltage by the use of a step down transformer.


What type of transfomer increases the voltage produced by the source?

step- up transformer


How can you identify which one is step up or step down transformer?

A transformer has two windings, termed the 'primary winding' and the 'secondary winding'. The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load. The secondary voltage of a 'step up' transformer is higher than the primary voltage; the secondary voltage of a 'step down' transformer is lower than the primary voltage. The simplest way to determine whether a transformer is a step up or step down, is to measure the primary and secondary voltages. If you are simply looking at a transformer, then the transformer's insulated bushings will give you a clue -the higher voltage bushings are much bigger than the lower voltage bushings. If you have access to the inside of the transformer, then the higher voltage windings are thinner and have a greater number of turns than the lower-voltage winding.


Which type of transformer is used in sonometer?

A sonometer is used to determine the frequency of alternating current. A step down transformer is used for the determination of frequency of A.C. because the voltage of the A.C. mains is 220V, which is dangerous. The step down transformer reduces this voltage to 6 volts.


What is the differences between a step-down transformer and a step-up transformer?

the main function of transformer is to change the magnitude of Voltage. difference between step up and step down is step up will change the input voltage into a larger magnitude of output while step down is vice versa

What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?

Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.


What is Auto transformer and ordinary transformer?

auto transformer is a one winding transformer which is are used for step up and step down voltage without chang its power and friquncy


When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?

If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.

A transformer can only the voltage of an alternating current?

A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.


Why transformers are not excited with dc?

by using step-up transformer we can change the voltage in higher level

Can you amplify the AC in your data center using an AC transformer and how?

Yes, the AC current can be amplified by using Step-down transformers, but one problem is the AC voltage will decrease with Step-down transformer.


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.


What is the name of the transformer that reduces the voltage?

a step down transformer is used to lower the voltage from the powerlines into your home. a common slang term for this type of transformer is a pole pig.
