Why the generation voltage is 11kv not 10kv?
Alternator output voltages are typically restricted to around 25 kV to limit their physical size and the centrifugal forces to which they are subjected. In the UK, this voltage is then typically raised to 400 kV for transmission.The voltages to which you are referring to are typical of the voltages used in the UK's high-voltage distribution system. 'Grid' substations typically transform transmission voltages of 132 kV down to 33 kV (or, less commonly, 66 kV), and 'primary' substations then transform distribution voltages of 33 kV down to 11 kV.
What is the voltage output if the transformer is connected backwards?
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).
Why voltage of transformer go up beyond the set voltage when carrying out transformer test?
Transformers without regulators in them will output voltage depending on the voltage coming in. For instance if you have a 230v to 110v transformer then you will have a ratio of 23:11 this means for every 23 turns in the transformers primary side you will get 11 turns on the secondary, so if you have an input voltage of 247v then the output voltage will be around 118v, conversly if you have an inout voltage of 221v then the ouplut voltage will be around 106v.
Does a transformer increase amps?
The primary current is determined by the secondary current, not the other way around. For example, a step up transformer will step up the primary voltage in proportion to the turns ratio of the transformer. Any secondary current is then determined by the secondary voltage and the load, NOT by the primary current. The primary current is then determined by the secondary current in proportion to the reciprocal of the turns ratio.
Is the transformer's iron core called the primary?
No. the primary winding is called the primary; the secondary winding is called the secondary. These are both wrapped around the iron core of the transformer. The core helps magnetically link the primary and secondary, which causes the transformation of voltage and current from primary to secondary.

What is a distribution voltage?
An intermediary voltage between high voltage and low voltage. I previously wrote 69kV and 34.5kV were distribution level voltages. This is not true, these are generally considered "sub Transmission" level. Anything below ~ 33kV and above ~1kV is considered distribution. Common voltages of this range I've seen are 2.4kV, 12.5kV, 13.8kV.
Why in a star connection phase voltage is 1.73times of line voltage?
It isn't. It's the other way around. The line voltage is 1.732 times the phase voltage. The figure results when you vectorially add the relevant phase voltages.
What is the difference between a secondary and primary coil?
The primary coil is the one with voltage applied, or the 'input'. The secondary coil is the one in which a voltage is induced by electromagnetism, or the 'output'. In a step up transformer, the secondary coil voltage is higher than the primary. In a step down transformer, the secondary coil voltage is lower than the primary. In an isolation transformer, the secondary coil voltage is the same as the primary. Here, the point of the transformer isn't to raise or lower voltage, but to keep a particular circuit electrically disconnected from another circuit, while still allowing the circuits to function together (through electromagnetism).

What is the difference between a service-entrance switchboard and a distribution switchboard?
Service-Entrance switchboard has circuit breakers that sends the incoming high voltage from the transformer to different distribution switchboards around the building that goes to different power operating machines or appliances. The service Entrance switchboard have large pumping circuit breakers since it has to do with large voltage. when electricity enter the service entrance circuit breaker it is at 480V + and when it goes into the service entrance switchboard it reduces the voltage to proper voltage for the building and sends it to the distribution switchboards.

What is the set up for a transformer that decreases the voltage on the out put side?
A basic, two-winding, transformer consists of two, separate, coils (called windings) wound around a laminated silicon-steel core. The winding connected to the supply (input) is called the primary winding, and the winding supplying the load is called the secondary winding. Alternating current flowing in the primary winding sets up an alternating magnetic field in the core which induces a voltage into the secondary winding. If there are fewer turns in the secondary winding, then the secondary voltage is lower than the primary voltage. If there are more turns in the secondary winding, then the secondary voltage is higher than the primary voltage.

What is the relationship of primary windings of a transformer to the secondary windings regarding output and input voltage?
The phase relationship between the primary voltage and the secondary voltage of a transformer is 180 degrees (typically) on single phase transformers. If working with three phase transformers, a zero phase shift is often used in Y/Y grounded transformers. If the transformer is wired Delta / Wye, the phase shift will be 30 degrees. I've seen transformers with a phase shift of 150 as well (quite abnormal, but it exists!) due to the starring and a delta / wye configuration. If you are looking at a transformer phasor diagram, this will show the phase shift between primary or secondary (three phase transformers). For single phase, there should be a drawing showing polarity markings - what goes in the polarity marking on the primary comes out on the secondary polarity marking.
