What else can I help you with?
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.
Does a step down converter also change the frequency?
No. It simply changes the voltage.
What does a step up and a step down transformer do?
It raises the voltage of the output of the main generator to the level of the grid transmission lines. The actual values depend on the design of the plant and grid system. In the UK the generator output would typically be about 23 kV and the grid line at 400 kV. Very high voltages make transmission of power more economical because the current is correspondingly reduced.
What are transformers designed to operate with?
to step up voltage or to step down voltage
Device used to step voltage up or down?
As transformers do not work with DC., the answer is a voltage divider network (step down) or a voltage multiplier network (step up).
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.
What is used to step up or step down the voltage?
Low frequency coils
Can we use transformer as a generator?
No. Transformer essentially can step up or step down voltage or provide same voltage across the secondary side. It can not generate voltage on its own. Generator is essentially a rotating device. Transformer is a static device.
Does a step down converter also change the frequency?
No. It simply changes the voltage.
Which type of transformer is used in sonometer?
A sonometer is used to determine the frequency of alternating current. A step down transformer is used for the determination of frequency of A.C. because the voltage of the A.C. mains is 220V, which is dangerous. The step down transformer reduces this voltage to 6 volts.
What is the use of step up and step down transformer?
step up transformer is to icrease the voltage but keeping the frequency same. step down is use to get less voltage than input given but of same frequency. Generally step down is use,we reqiure it in oor house(in mobile charger etc.).It is also use in rectifires.
What is the fuction of the step-up transformer?
Step-Up Transformers increase the primary voltage to a higher voltage, of same frequency.
Are intermediate frequency transformers are step up transformers?
Intermediate frequency transformers can be either step-up, step-down, or 1:1. The term "intermediate frequency" relates to the frequency of operation, and not to the voltage or current conversion ratios. An "intermediate frequency transformer" is a special purpose transformer used for filtration purposes in radio reception, rather than voltage or current conversion, though a step-up or step down turns-ratio may be used in the design.
When would you use a step-up transformer in the HVAC industry?
They are mostly used to step up the voltage of the power from a generator.
How is 4160 voltage made?
Well first we need to generate voltage from electrical generator. Then if voltage are below 4160 volt step up Transformer is used and if voltage are above 4160 volt step down Transformer is used. Generally voltage produced from generator are low so we need to step up voltage to higher values such as 240 kilo volt to transmit them to longer distances to reduce power losses.
How is an alternator different from transformer?
An 'alternator' is simply another term for an a.c. generator, that is a rotating machine that generates electrical energy. A 'transformer', on the other hand, is a static machine that changes the levels of voltage -they either step up a voltage or step down a voltage.
