Transformers transform
How do you connect the transformer's secondary to the bearings.
It doesn't really matter which way around you use a transformer, the primary winding is ALWAYS whichever winding you connect to the supply, and the secondary winding is ALWAYS whichever winding you connect to the load. For either connection, the turns ratio will ALWAYS equal the voltage ratio for an ideal transformer (or close enough for a real transformer).
if you drove the 18V winding with 230V the transformer would burn out, if it didn't catch fire first
Definitely NOT! An open circuit (across a melted fuse for example) on the secondary side of a current transformer is subject to a dangerously-high voltage, so a fuse must not be fitted. The secondary side of a CT must never be open circuited.
It isn't a good idea to connect transformers in parallel unless they are identical transformers. If they are not exactly the same model there is a danger of high circulating currents, which could cause them to overheat.
You have to connect each phase (R,Y & B respectively) of earthing transformer zig zag winding to each phase of power transformer delta secondary respectively. Then the zig zag winding of earthing transformer star point to be earthed.

You mean ac coil, the secondary coil, of a transformer? Then for the purpose of rectification, that is , for changing ac into dc, a diode is connected in series with the secondary coil of the transformer.

To convert 110v to 220v using a step-up transformer, connect the 110v input to the primary winding and the 220v output to the secondary winding of the transformer. The transformer will increase the voltage while maintaining the power output.
ring main unit is distributing the power supply to meter cubicalAnswerA ring-main unit (rmu) is a piece of switchgear that is used to connect a transformer's primary winding to a high-voltage ring main. It consists of three load-breaking switches, each with three positions: 'on', 'off', and 'earth'. They enable the transformer to be connected/disconnected to the ring; the ring to be 'broken'; or the transformer to be connected to either half of the broken ring. The 'earth' positions allow the transformer's secondary to be earthed, or either half of the (broken) ring to be earthed.
If the primary and the secondary windings of the three phase transformer are connected in delta, you cannot get a healthy neutral from it but why bother? You simply drive a rod into earth and use it as a neutral. Alternatively either the primary or the secondary windings must be connected as star and you use the common point as neutral.
The way to identify any transformer is to look at the the transformers nameplate. The primary side will be designated H1 to H4. This is the primary side and the voltage will be stated as to the voltage to connect to. The secondary side will be designated X1 to X4. This is the secondary side and the voltage will be stated as to the voltage it will be transformer to.

T1 and T2 commonly refer to the primary and secondary terminals of a transformer. T1 is typically the primary side where the input voltage is applied, while T2 is usually the secondary side where the output voltage is obtained. The terminals are used to connect the transformer to the electrical circuit.
