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 difference between capactive voltage transformer and potential transformer?

A capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) uses a (usually two) stacks of capacitors to reduce the votlage to a smaller internal potential transformer (PT). This makes them less expensive than an equivalent PT, but there can be a loss of accuracy.


What is winding transformer?

A winding is the name given each of the coils wound around the transformer's core. A basic transformer has two windings, termed the primary winding (connected to the supply) and the secondary winding (connected to the load).

What type of transformers are used to step down a voltage for general use and what type of systems are they classified as?

The transformer you describe is being used as a step-down transformer, and is classified as an electrical machine. The transformer could either be a mutual transformer, consisting of two, electrically-isolated coils, or an auto-transformer which uses a common coil between its primary and secondary circuits.
