Low voltage can be turned in high voltage by using so called Transformers,wich are made by coils and iron.When a voltage passes it it will get a high voltage out of it.Exaple a 6v can be turned into 300v and using this idea,cameras wok with the same prinicple.By using two transformers they converst 6v to 300v than to 5000v,incredible,isnt it.

Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?

A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.


Will using a transformer to convert 230V to 12V DC consume more energy than using a few capacitors and resistors without a transformer?

no, the transformer is much more efficient <><><> HOWEVER- a transformer only changes the voltage of AC current- it does not change it to DC. You will still need diodes or rectifiers. You can also use a motor/generator- a 230v AC motor turns a 12 v DC generator.


How can you identify the Primary and secondary winding of a transformer through input and output connected wires without using multimeter?

Usualy the largest current is at the lowest voltage side ; so the largest conductor section determine the lowest voltage side ; if the transformer is a set up one , the primary will be the lowest voltage winding ; in the other hand , it 'll be the highest voltage winding


What must be the rms voltage rating of the transformer secondary for the voltage doubler that produces an output of 500 v?

The transformer should provide 144-0-144 v to have a no-load voltage of 500 v dc in a voltage-doubler using two diodes.


What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?

Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.

How do you convert 7620 volts to 240 volts?

To convert 7620 volts to 240 volts, you would need to use a transformer. The transformer would step-down the voltage from 7620 volts to 240 volts. The ratio of the turns on the transformer primary and secondary windings determines the voltage transformation.


How can I use a step-up transformer to convert 110v to 220v?

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.


Can you step down a 220v to a 110v without a transformer?

It is not possible to step down voltage from 220V to 110V without using a transformer or other voltage conversion device. Transformers are specifically designed to change voltage levels while maintaining power flow. Attempting to step down voltage without a transformer can risk damaging electrical devices or causing a safety hazard.


Convert a US to UK voltage?

If you mean in domestic use, the US is at 120 V and the UK at 240 V. So you need a transformer with a 2 to 1 turn ratio, to step up if using a UK appliance in the US, or to step down if using a US appliance in the UK.


What does a dual voltage power supply do?

It convert 220v or 115 to -12v and +12v by using many components and step down transformer.

How can you build a circuit that will convert 220 Volts AC into 24V and 5V DC without being electrified using things like a transformer diodes and a voltage regulator?

Clarification needed because without being electrified requires explanation.

How can I convert 110v to 12v using a transformer?

To convert 110v to 12v using a transformer, you would need a transformer with a turns ratio of 9.17:1. This means the primary winding (110v) would have 9.17 times more turns than the secondary winding (12v), allowing for the voltage conversion. Make sure to select a transformer with the appropriate power rating to handle the load at 12v.


Why do you obtain more dc voltage than ac voltage in power supply design by using transformer?

You don't. Transformers only work with AC voltage. Their input will be an AC waveform, and their output will be an AC waveform. Other electronics are used to convert the stepped down AC waveform from the transformer to DC.
