Power is normally transmitted at high voltage through step up/step down Transformers to minimize the power losses in the transmission lines (this is one reason anyway). Since power loss is equivalent to the resistance of the conductor times the current squared, stepping up the voltage by a factor of two cuts the transmission losses by a factor of (2^2 = ) 4.
A step-up transformer needs more turns on the secondary windings than on the primary windings to increase the voltage.
This type of transformer is called a Step-Down transformer. All transformers have an input to output ratio. The transformers that increase voltage are called Step-up, and the transformers that protect against surges are called unity gain. The Unity gain transformer has a 1:1 ratio and provide a mechanical way to isolate a source of voltage from a load.
The device used to increase or decrease the voltage of an electric circuit is a step up transformer or a step down transformer respectively. A Variable Resistor
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up 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
A step up transformer is used to step up an AC voltage

A step-up transformer needs more turns on the secondary windings than on the primary windings to increase the voltage.
increase the amount of voltage
A transformer can only increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current, and it is called step-up transformer or step-down transformer accordingly.
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
You need a step-up transformer.
To increase or decrease electrical voltage- step up or step down.
Step-Up Transformers increase the primary voltage to a higher voltage, of same frequency.
There are two types of transformers:- 1. Step-up transformer & 2. Step-down transformer. A transformer used to increase the voltage is called Step-up transformer. A transformer used to decrease the voltage is called Step-down transformer. Uses of step-up transformer:- in power supply stations, in picture tubes of TV, computer monitors, halogen lights, etc. Uses of step-down transformer:- in supply of electricity to homes, in the power supply to the low voltage devices like radio, music systems which are run by AC mains.
This type of transformer is called a Step-Down transformer. All transformers have an input to output ratio. The transformers that increase voltage are called Step-up, and the transformers that protect against surges are called unity gain. The Unity gain transformer has a 1:1 ratio and provide a mechanical way to isolate a source of voltage from a load.
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.
