You can make a voltage divider set of resistors and tap off the desired voltage. Some voltage regulators can be fed much higher voltages. The regulator will provide a constant settable voltage with short circuit and overload protection. There are DC to DC converters. They first turn the DC into AC then rectify it and produce DC.
What else can I help you with?
Would a step-up transformer or a step-down transformer be used to convert 260 volt AC from a household input into a 13 volt AC output in a portable electric fan?
A step-down transformer would be used to convert 260 volt AC from a household input into a 13 volt AC output for a portable electric fan. This type of transformer decreases the voltage, allowing the fan to operate safely and efficiently at the lower voltage required. Using a step-up transformer would increase the voltage instead, which is not suitable for this application.
Why the transformer connected on inverter output?
A transformer is connected to the output of inverter in order to step up the AC voltage output.
What does a step-up transformer step up?
A step-up transformer steps up the voltage rather than stepping down the voltage like a normal ac wall adapter does. By stepping up the voltage it is not free electricity it allspice takes away from the available amps.e.g.Say you have 12V 1A AC going in to the primary coil of your step up transformer, this would result in a higher voltage and lesser amps like 24V 0.5A AC coming out of the secondary coil.AnswerA step-up transformer steps up voltage, but it DOES NOT 'step down' current! The secondary current is determined by the load, and the primary current is then determined by the value of secondary current.
Why do transformers work only work on an AC supply?
Transformers only work on ac supply because it principle is mutual induction. DC supply has constant magnitude whereas AC has alternating magnitude. so we can step up or step down current/voltage in transformer in ac only.
Do step up and down transformer only work with ac power or can you use them in dc only?
AC only. That's one of many reasons why AC is more useful (and more widely used!) than DC.
Step up transformer is used to increase the?
A step up transformer is used to step up an AC voltage
Why the ac is input to the transformer?
Because transformers are usually used to step down AC votage, however they usually can accept DC power to step down or up.
Why the transformer connected on inverter output?
A transformer is connected to the output of inverter in order to step up the AC voltage output.
What is the function of step-down transformers?
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.
Is tranformer used to increase or decrease AC voltage?
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.
How a rectifier transformer deffer from a power transformer?
rectifier transformer converts acinto dc.but,power transformer convert step up or step down ac energy without changing frequency
What device increases or decreases the volt- age of alternating current?
A transformer can step up or step down AC voltage
Why ac current is used in a transformer?
AC current or DC current can be used in transformers. A transformer is made of two coils of wire, the input coil induces a current into the output coil. Transformers change the voltage either up (step up transformer) or down (step down transformer). The amount of change in voltage is dependent solely on the number of windings in both coils in the transformer. DC transformers work exactly the same way AC transformers do.

Why do transformers work only work on an AC supply?
Transformers only work on ac supply because it principle is mutual induction. DC supply has constant magnitude whereas AC has alternating magnitude. so we can step up or step down current/voltage in transformer in ac only.
Why stepup transformer uses ac?
Confusing question! If it is, why transformers use ac? Then it is, for induction there must be change in flux linkage which is possible with ac which frequently changes polarity. In dc there wont be any change. If que is, why step up is used? There will be considerable voltage drop with distant transmission. For this reason step up voltage is required with step up transformer. Since, in high voltages this drop is negligible or efficient transmission
Do step up and down transformer only work with ac power or can you use them in dc only?
AC only. That's one of many reasons why AC is more useful (and more widely used!) than DC.
