Power stations use step-up Transformers to transmit power at a high voltage instead of a high current. This reduces the power lost in the transmission lines.

What is stepup transformer?
A step-up transformer produces a voltage across its secondary winding which is higher than its primary winding. The secondary winding is connected to the load, while the primary winding is connected to the supply.
What is the difference between power transformer and instrument transformer?
A power transformer is used to provide power (to your home, for example), an instrument transformer is used to measure voltage or current (for metering, for example).
What is the difference between an isolation transformer and distribution transformer?
in isolation transformer earthing is not provide on secondary side but in ordinary transformer neutral of secondary side is earthedAnswerAn isolation transformer is a 1:1 ratio transformer; its function is to electrically isolate the secondary side from the primary side without changing the voltage. An example of an isolation transformer is the one used in a shaver socket.A distribution transformer is a step-down transformer, used within the electricity network's distribution system. An example of distribution transformer is a pole-mounted transformer, supplying low voltage to residences.(Of course, all mutual transformers provide electrical isolation between primary and secondary.)
Is transformer is essential for rectifier?
no transformer is not necessary for rectification today most of power supplies have been made without using transformer in order to reduce weight and size of power supply.for example SMPS(switch mode poqwer supply)
A stepup transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil If the primary voltage is 120 volts what will be the secondary voltage?
A step-up transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil. If there is 120 volts and 10 amps on the primary, what will be the current in the secondary? 2 amps.600v 2A
How a transformer is very useful in ac supply?
Transformer is the only device which is capable to stepup or stepdown an ac signal. That's why its used widely in ac supply.
Why not stepup transformer is not used in rectifiers?
Rectifiers turn A/C into D/C, but transformers can only run on A/C.
What is stepup transformer?
A step-up transformer produces a voltage across its secondary winding which is higher than its primary winding. The secondary winding is connected to the load, while the primary winding is connected to the supply.
What is transformer w?
Transformer is a electric device which it can be used for to transfer the ac current one circuit to another i.e. To reduces voltage and without frequency changing. Many types of transformer available in various purpose i.e. Stepup transformer, stepdowntransformer ,autotransformer ,,,,,,,etc answered by arivukkarasu.a

What does a step up transformer increase?
Power is normally transmitted at high voltage through step up/step down transformers to minimize the power losses in the transmission lines (this is one reason anyway). Since power loss is equivalent to the resistance of the conductor times the current squared, stepping up the voltage by a factor of two cuts the transmission losses by a factor of (2^2 = ) 4.
What is the difference between step up and step down?
in transformers for instance a stepup transformer does exactly that, steps up the voltageAND/OR theamperage and a step down transformer reduces the same. if you have a machine that operates on say 120 volts alternating current single phase and your building or power supply in your buildingis set up for or delivers480 volts alternating current-three phase you will need a step down transformer to operate the machine.

Why are transformers necessary?
Transformers are necessary to stepup or stepdown voltage levels so that transmission of power is convenient. without stepup/stepdown voltage level according to our requirement losses will be very high and transmission and usage of power is not feasible.
What is and example of change electrical energy to electrical energy?
A transformer.
Which amplifier converts millivolt to volt?
to convert a 100mv to 1volt u will have to multiply it by 10. so u will need a stepup amplifier to do that. u can depend on am op-amp based amplifier to do it if u r allowed to use external supply, else u will need a transformer for the same. Ashish.K
