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.

Transformer function is either to step-up or down the voltage. There is nothing like an ordinary transformer.


What is the different between et up and set down transformer?

the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer is that, in a tsep up transformer, the voltage secondary is greater than the primary side but in a step down transformer, the voltage secondary is lesser than the primary side


What is the differences between a step-down transformer and a step-up transformer?

the main function of transformer is to change the magnitude of Voltage. difference between step up and step down is step up will change the input voltage into a larger magnitude of output while step down is vice versa


What is the primary function of a step-down transformer that distinguishes it from a step-up transformer?

A step-down transformer reduces the voltage from a higher level to a lower level, while a step-up transformer increases the voltage from a lower level to a higher level.


Can one step up power from inverter with step-up transformer?

No. You can not step up power with a transformer. You can step up voltage, while stepping down current, or you can step up current, while stepping down voltage, but you cannot step up (or down) power.


Where can i buy a step down transformer online?

You can go to ebay.com. Then sign up for an account and search for "step down transformer."


How can you see that the transformer is a step down or a step up?

If the primary voltage (input) is less than the secondary (output) then it is a step-up. If the input is greater than the output then it is a step-down transformer.


When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?

If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.


Why transformer is used?

A transformer used to step up or down the value of voltage.
