A voltage transformer (known as a 'potential transformer' in North America) is classed as an instrument transformer. It is used to reduce the voltage across a high-voltage load to a value that can be read (usually remotely) by an ordinary a.c. voltmeter, while electrically isolating that voltmeter from the high-voltage system for the purpose of safety. It can also be used to supply an input to a protection relay.
The basic function of a transformer is to change voltage levels.
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
A '33-kV transformer' is a three-phase primary-distribution transformer, used in the UK's electricity system to step down the 33-kV primary-distribution voltage to the 11-kV secondary-distribution voltage -the lowest voltage used in the high-voltage distribution system. These transformers are categorised as 'power transformers', and are located in what are termed 'primary substations'.
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
It depends on the turns ratio of the transformer.
The basic function of a transformer is to change voltage levels.
function of capacitive voltage transformer is measure high transmission voltage with low range voltmeter and oprate the relay circuit to oprate CBs.
A transformer is used to step up or step down a Voltage supply.
Transformer function is either to step-up or down the voltage. There is nothing like an ordinary transformer.
step up transformer output gives the high voltage which is useful for transmiission of electricity
step up transformer output gives the high voltage which is useful for transmiission of electricity
The function of an isolation transformer is to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, without changing the voltage levels. So, its secondary voltage will be the same as the primary voltage.
A transformer is the primary device which transforms voltage to a higher or lower voltage. In electronics, capacitors and resistors perform this function.
A transformer can perform this function.
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
The function of any transformer is to change one AC voltage value to another AC voltage value. A step down transformer will transform a higher AC voltage to a lower AC voltage. A step up transformer will transform a lower AC voltage to a higher AC voltage. The transmission of electrical power uses both of these types of Transformers. From the generation station the voltage is stepped up to a very high transmission voltage and at the end of the transmission line it is stepped down to a voltage that consumers can utilize.
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
